Toyota Corolla 1998 Timing Belt

What's the recommended odo reading for Timing Belt replacement?
How much would it cost in terms of original parts and labor?
How long would it take?

pagkakaalam ko ay 80k or 85k odo reading..mine was replaced during that period at toyota alabang..naka more or less 25k pesos yata ako..98 din yung akin A/T..medyo matagal na yun kasi naibenta ko na ang car..pwede ka ring tumawag sa toyota to estimate..pero kung out of warranty ka na siguro try mo pa estimate sa labas siguradong mas mura..
sa akin noon dinala ko umaga nakuha ko hapon..

Nasa danger zone na pala, 95k na odo reading eh, maybe its also time for atf fluid replacement....

This post may be totally out of the topic/not specific modelwise but just to give you an idea and ballpark figures...replaced mine though it's a Honda Civic 2005 timing belt*Php1.5+ Belt tensioner*Php6.2K labor *casa Php2.5k...replaced as well the front crankshaft oil seal and front camshaft oil seal thnk for about 1.5K for both seals. a total of around Php12k. The Job itself would just take 2-4hours of wrench time.

*95K km dapat talaga palitan mo na yan ASAP..otherwise lalaki ang gastos mo lalo kapag naputulan ka ng belt...pwdeng wasak ang cylinder head /valve assembly mo kapag minalas kang maputulan ng nsa 3000rpm or hiway cruising.

Kung titignan mo sa owner's manual, nasa 100,000km ang talagang palitan ng timing belt, pero ako pinapalitan ko na pag umabot na ng 80,000km ang tinakbo as a precautionary measure.

tawag ka nalang muna sa toyota para matanong mo estimate pag timing belt replacement..diko rin matandaan nga kung nasa 25k kasi masyado mataas yun compared dun sa honda ni jiggs..tapos pa estimate ka rin sa labas para may comparison ka..lovelife din yung akin dati..masama ang loob ko nang binenta ko yun kasi maganda pa manakbo..pinalitan ko ng pick up para di nasayad sa humps dito sa min..

Thanks for the info. We did change timing belt, upper & lower oil seals, tensioner bearing, alternator belt, and alternator bearing. less than 5k including labor.
