hi bros

how much is a timing belt for myvi 1.3?
my mileage is alraedy 100k plus and was advise to change it! true???

heard its rm600 per piece....??

I wonder why timing belt so expensive.....Its just a rubber belt isnt it?

But no, its not worth RM600.

myvi 1.3 timing belt??...myvi k3-ve using timing chain

only myvi 1.0 ej-ve using timing belt

ya.. since when myvi 1.3 using timing belt??

1.3 using timing chain.

do homework first before you

timing chain is lifetime( or 300k if not mistaken).

600 is cheap la for a timing chain.

dont listen to pokok cheery mechanic.

Ellek.. nada.. zero...
myvi use timing chain la bro.. every 400k/km tighten only..
try to read manual la first.. that is.. you can read right??
maybe ur "under pokok tua" mechanic meant v-belt (fan and aircond belt).. that wan every 70k/km must change..

its either ts dont know anything about his own car, or the mechanic keh khiang

nothing last a lifetime le , maybe the only thing can last longest will be the springs of the suspension

thats why i said 300k lo.

life time means 20 years or so la. they dont expect ppl drive car for such a long time

japan scrap car every 5 years ler. so to them, lifetime might be 5 years

Actually japan standard term of a car lifetime is 10 years...

Myvi 1.3 and 1.5 uses timing chain so no changes required. when sound loud from timing chain then they with tighten it

my city already clock 200k KM the timing chain still in perfect condition

suddenly TS missing in action

btw TS, if its ur fren tellin u this might wanna correct him.. if its ur mechanic, either hes juz a conman tryin 2 pull off extra couple of hundred bucks from u, or he knows shit!! either way, do urself a favor n get new frens or a new mechanic

TS just get bluffed? Myvi 1.3 using timing chain. So hurray...

So why is timing belt so expensive??

U mean Timing Belt or Chain expensive?!?

Normally the belt is around RM200~300 price range with seal, bearing & pre-tensioner.. The expensive part is the workmanship... But since Myvi 1.3L dont have timing belt, what the fuzz? The most air-con belt & alternator belt, less then RM50 can kau tim for both including workmanship..

i though myvi is not using timing belt, it should be timing chain isn't it?

I mean timing belt for any/other cars..
Looks simple work to me lolz...anyway im no car pro.....

TS, pls go to service center to change those part.

its cheap. and its confirm original.

u go pokok cherry, then dont complain local car sucks.
they use wrong auto gear oil, your auto gear drive like shit, then you complain local car shit.

Myvi engine equipped with self tensioner for their timing chain system...

My kembara dvvt had done 260k km without problem...

Take care of your lubrication changing period would help to lengthen its lifespan...

i wonder how we going to re-tighten the timing chain..it comes in pre-tension,once remove so need to replace and torque to spec..if weird sound come from ur engine,that will be your sprocket worn out..if in V6 engine,that would be sprocket or lancester balancer..

ah laa...my pokok cheerry , che-kai mechanic said my myvi 1.3 uses timing belt..and kena tukar 100k
hahhaha

okok so if timing chain, how often to tighten it? 400k??
