How much does it cost to fix a broken timing belt in a 2001 Toyota solara v6?

Answer 1

First, consider yourself fortunate that your engine is 'non interference' meaning when the belt breaks, valves don't collide with pistons causing thousands of dollars in damage. (the gen II V-6, '04 and later is an interference engine so don't let the belt break). To answer your question, if you have someone else do the work it should be less than $500 for parts and labor. Call around and include your Toyota dealer. There are sometimes specials being run that provide substantial discounts. If you want to do it yourself parts (including a Chilton manual so you have step-by-step instructions along with pictures) should be under $200. Be sure and replace the water pump. It's a lot less expensive to do it while everything is apart than to have to go back in and dig it out later when it begins leaking. Cheers
