2006 Toyota Land Cruiser Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the timing belt on 2006 Toyota Land Cruiser?

  A: You should start servicing the timing belt by disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal with a waiting period of at least 90 seconds to avoid Air Bag activation. Sequentially remove 8 bolts from the engine rear under cover and then continue to the No. 1 engine under cover with its 5 bolts. Start the timing belt service by draining engine coolant and then removing the V-bank cover followed by unbolting the MAF meter connector as well as air cleaner hose assembly and air cleaner assembly by removing its cap element and finally the 3 bolts from the case assembly. Begin repairs by disconnecting the radiator hoses numbered 1 and 2 and removing tubes that supply and remove fluid from the No. 1 Oil cooler along with the drive belt and complete the process by removing the radiator assembly. The maintenance technician should perform a sequential disconnection of the vane pump assembly before proceeding to disconnect the generator assembly and compressor assembly. You must first disconnect the 3 water by-pass hoses from the oil cooler pipe by unfastening their cap nut and bolt then remove the cap nut from the No. 3 timing belt cover subassembly RH followed by the removal of its 3 bolts. To remove the No. 3 timing belt cover subassembly LH properly disconnect the engine wire from two wire clamps and eliminate the connection between the camshaft position sensor and the timing belt cover wire clamp and then take off four bolts and the cover. Begin by removing the two components of subassembly No. 2 by disconnecting the pulley bolt then cover plate and idler pulley and finally the two bolts of the subassembly No. 2 timing belt cover. The drive belt tensioner assembly removal requires you to unfasten its bolt together with 2 nuts before proceeding with the idler pulley assembly extraction through 2 bolts and 2 nuts. When servicing the crankshaft damper subassembly, use Special Service Tool: 09213-70011 (09213-70020), 09330-00021 to begin by removing the damper bolt before proceeding to detach the damper using Special Service Tool: 09950-50013 (09951-05010, 09952-05010, 09953-05010, 09953-05020, 09954-05021). Set the No. 1 cylinder to 45 degrees BTDC/compression during the removal of the timing belt cover with its 4 bolts followed by the crankshaft position sensor plate before removing the belt itself. The procedure requires setting the No. 1 cylinder to 45 degrees BTDC/compression position while keeping the timing marks properly aligned. Check the timing belt for damage and ensure it remains oil and water and steam-free and inspect the tensioner and idler components for leaks while verifying their effortless operation. Before installation check the water pump and idlers while then checking and cleaning the pulleys and setting the No. 1 cylinder to TDC/compression. Finally set the timing belt using proper installation marking alignment. Set the belt tensioner and proceed with installing the crankshaft damper subassembly using Special Service Tool: 09223-46011 and deploy the fan bracket and drive belt tensioner assembly followed by the timing belt covers installation while adhering to specified torque requirements. Install the drive belt together with the radiator assembly after reattaching the compressor assembly, the generator assembly and the vane pump assembly. Installation of the radiator hoses follows tube reconnection then the technician must attach the air cleaner assembly with its hose while installing the V-bank cover before reconnecting the negative battery terminal. System initialization follows before the addition of engine coolant as part of the process to install engine components under their specified bolts.
