Replacing the belt and rear pads - Toyota Yaris, 1.0L, 2000
Today I decided to change the rear pads. For 187,000 factory pads were changed for the first time :) Don't say, economical car.
With the advent of cold weather came the whistle of the belt. The previous belt passed 65000. There was a whistle, decided that it was necessary to change. When they took it off, it turned out he was still walking and walking, in short, he looked like new. It is believed that the belt resource is 50-60 thousand. therefore, as a matter of fact, and decided that he began to whistle due to wear and tear! It turned out that the original Toyotovsky runs 80-100 thousand. (That's what STOshniki think!) The previous one was 96 thousand. and all cracked (for 8 years).
Prices are as follows:
Pads original: $ 37
Work: 100 UAH.
Belt: $ 25 (not original) the original is not available anywhere! Last time, too, waited 1.5 months until they brought it. The price was $ 60.
Work 80 UAH.
Mileage: 187,300 km
At our local forum, someone joked that with the cold weather, toyoto males begin to squeak, attracting females :))
I have a whistle too. Usually I treated this case by tightening the belt, but now there is almost no protection from below and any road muck flies straight there, so I will not dare to force the machine by pulling up. Now I will put the metal protection of the engine compartment, then I will do it, but for now I have to endure ...
