Timing belt slipped while I was on my way home tonight... Car might be screwed.

Because I'm poor and bought what I can afford? Lol

If you don't have fuck ups like this theyll get to 400k miles easy.

What country do you really live in?

Some people with cars man...

Yes, it helps. Duh?

If the car is super nice all around and just needs engine work why throw it away? That's just laziness! Laziness is what costs money.

That happened to me on my pickup. Had to replace the water pump, timing belt and tensioner pulley and spring, along with gasket, thermostat while in there....and coolant.

It was about $140.00 for a kit to do it. plus extra for the other items I listed. Toyota 3vze non interference engine.

My current issue on my pick up now, is that I had a corroded tail light so my turn signals were not working. When I went to remove it, it was so bad it calved in and shorted something in the electrical circuit. I knocked out my instrument cluster and all of my gauges are now dead, including my AC and Heater.

Hey, on the plus side, all of my lights are working again after getting a new tail light assembly....lol

Winter is coming.....I need to get it fixed or I won't be driving it without heat.

Colorado

How many miles does it have on it?

Yeah it just depends if my valves are bent that well mean I gotta crack her open.

Gonna do timing and water pump first and use a scope to see down in the cylinders.

Just over 154,000. It was at 139,000 in 2019 when I bought it. It's been just such a pleasant car. Makes me smile driving it.

Not today though haha

Oh, a suburb of kalifornia. Now I get why you drive a volvo. In the USA we don't drive wierd cars, we drive cars that make sense and have available parts and don't cost a fortune to fix.

Hmmm my tacoma has 235K on it and 0 problems. But then it has a timing CHAIN! My buds toyota has over 400k and still going with 0 issues. But then we use mobil1 oil and reg. maintenence. Oh ya my Ford F-150 has 225 miles and 0 issues too. All I ever did to it was rebuild the trans.

Parts are extremely easy to get, cheap, and it's easy to work on.

I mean COME on. Give me examples of a reliable car! Can't wait to laugh.

Chevrolet is fucking garbage as are most (most) Ford's. Toyotas are freaking awesome but night be going downhill a bit. Late 90s and early 2000s Toyota are nothing short of marvelous.

Volvo has been pretty reliable and especially safe also. A little tank.

Any Chevy I've had has been insufferable. Cavalier, Malibu... Now the old g20 from 1983 was pretty awesome but still not that reliable or economical.

This car handles great, has a great interior for car camping and hauling things and I'm telling you constantly gets praise. That part cracks me up too trust me, it's not a sports car but it gets constant compliments. I think it looks pretty cool. Pretty punchy for a 5 cylinder.

Is your f150 pre 2008?

Sounds like you take good care of them.



If I could have my dream car I'd have a Tacoma or 4runner. I love them. Early to late 2000s for the Tacoma and 99 to 2007 for 4runner.

BUUUT they're expensive. For a reason, I know.

Parts are extremely easy to get, cheap, and it's easy to work on.

Get out of town clown! You're so full of shit! You think Im stupid?
My 2002 tacoma... 10x better than your junk
My 93 F-150 10x better than your junk
My 98 4=runner 10x better than your junk.
Even my 02 dodge ram 1500 with 215K miles is better than your junk!

NONE of them have had any major issues like your POS lol...

has happened to me before, much depends on whether your engine books at an interference spec or non interference, meaning the valves open at tdc can touch the piston top or not. if so, the pistons are probably ok but you might need the cylinder head rebuilt and valves replaced in addition to a replacement timing belt as well as fixing the original problem that caused it all to start with good luck to you

Yeah I think the tensioner pulley failed initially.

Damn that was kinda rude.

You're correct about all of your vehicles being better except for the Ford and Dodge lol

I just can't afford a Toyota right now dammit get outta here! I'm walkin here!

Didn't mean to be rude dude. But those are facts. I paid 4k for my F=150 in 06 and it is 4x4 and has EVERY available factory option too. I bought my Dodge at a yard sale for 1200 bux and put 2k into it. My tacoma in similar condition used is about 4500. The 4 runner is about 4500 too. Shop around, I am the king of getting good deals because I refuse to overpay for anything.

If you take care of things and use top shelf synthetics even a crap car will last you 300k.

That's not timing belt. Your motor is fine.

I had one snap in a volvo 5 cylinder turbo going 40 on a off ramp to another highway. 2 days before I was going to do the belt...had all the parts on the shelf. Long story short it didn’t damage the piston/cylinder. Head was junk. Couldn’t find a replacement either. Cheapest option was 2500 for a used motor shipped in. Then happened across a head for $75. You will need a lot of misc parts along the way. Get a new harmonic balancer at your mileage. Make sure you check the thin metal ring Behind it for warping.

Buy a new serpentine belt and tensioner. That tensioner is what caused it to fail. They ‘hop’ and it’ll vibrate the power steering pump good until you have your problem. Also when you do the timing belt. Do all the tensioners. Those are suppose to be done every 140k, Just belt every 70k.

Good luck. Those motors and their variants are built pretty well. Btw while you have the belt off replace your oil seals, if they aren’t leaking they will ‘soon’. If you want to save some money look for a victor reinz gasket/seal kit. They’re good quality, will last, and they are pretty cheap. It should have oddball stuff like injector orings and other little things that will be needed along the way.

Says the unarmed know nothing kannuck.

Almost forgot. Pull that crank sensor and check for metal on the pickup. Clean it off then test the thing with a meter before just slapping a new one in.

Or just junk it and get a toyota for the same money...

Toyota’s are nice cars and all but they’re not as safe as a older volvo. Cars are cheap to fix compared to people...

Then learn how to drive first lol.

It’s not about yourself, it’s the other idiots on the road.

Like I said "learn how to drive" that includes defensive driving. Duuuhhhh

You’re obviously lacking in real life experience, millennial. Stop trying to derail somebody’s thread. They’re looking for help and it seems you have none to offer...

Im old enough to be yer grandpa boy. And ya I did offer some VERY good advice (beyond your mental ability).

I agree. You belt came off this popped the error codes.

Diagnostic code P0339 OBDII indicates that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has found an erratic or intermittent voltage signal from the Crank Position Sensor (CKP)

And since your in there replacing the belt and etc stuff might as well replace the simple cheap other things. When I have to fix something I also see what gaskets, seals, boots, rings, greased, etc are around that I can get to. Don't go crazy and spend alot of money, but little things for a couple of bucks will save you hundreds of dollars.
