timing belt tightener — logbook Toyota Caldina 1999

Recently, when I was changing the front support, the minder said that it was necessary to tighten the timing belt, they say it was hanging out.
He let me listen while the car was cold - and you can really hear what is hanging out!

In general, yesterday drove a wheelbarrow to the service … 4.5 hours tinkering. They removed the belt, they filed it there (something related to the bracket and the roller), because a simple setting was no longer enough.

They say this is the norm for Toyota now. Sadly.
Luckily I installed the original. The minder showed one to one like my Kaldino, which came to replace the timing, but with non-original spare parts (rollers, belt) - so there was not a single spare part that fit, the owner had to take the original.
So that.

After leaving the service, the car seems to have become a little softer to ride.
Or it just seems

By the way, a year has passed since the replacement and about 30 thousand mileage

Issue price: 3 200 ₽ Mileage: 245�600 km

in 3s, the belt is tightened automatically by a hydraulic tensioner.

Well, it began to sound clearly different, especially as you add speed)

well, it’s strange in general, because the service is normal, there were no jambs behind them before, and the level seems to be good.
I don’t know ... while everything is driving, but a periodic strange sound at high speeds remains

“They removed the belt, they filed it there (something related to the bracket and the roller) because a simple setting was no longer enough ... They say this is the norm for Toyota now.” - after this, you need to silently turn around and go to another service. They added a collective farm to your car ... Or rather, not after, but before.
