Montero Sport Timing Belt Replacement

[green eagle]

Thanks for all the replies, guys. I really appreciate it. I guess, too, that the squealing sound maybe caused by the Serpentine Belt or Drive Belt. I cursorily checked on the belt both while the engine was running and while it was turned off. No squealing - though it may occur while I'm in transit - so can't trouble-shoot by moistening the belt to determine whether its caused by the belt itself or the pulleys/bearings. Best to have it checked by an experienced mechanic, I guess, too.

The input on timing belt wear relative to mileage and age of vehicle (70 -80k kms for a decade-old vehicle) is very informative and highly valued.

Another question - do any of you have any experience in using the WD-40 Belt Dressing spray? Watched on YT how it works on belts and reputedly cares for and lengthens lives of belts. I'm not certain if they cure belt wear/malfunction or merely prevents or prolongs belt-wear.

Stay safe, everybody!

mukhang A/C belt lang yan, ganun din sa Montero 2012 ko dati e, kapag pinatay mo na ba ang A/C mo mawawala na ba ang noise?


Baka nag-loloose na naman ang A/C belt mo kaya kailangan mo ng ipa-adjust... Ganun ang experience ko

i do not use belt dressing.
i inspect the belt for signs of wear, and replace them accordingly.
i think i replaced my innova's belt at the 80K km mark... yata.
