2006 Lexus IS350 - Serpentine Belt Replacement

[@awdx4g63]

My belt at 18 years 108k miles. About to change. Condition looks okay as well. Thanks for the video.

Just a tip for anybody when you remove your old belt and looks OK save it in the car incase it ever breaks just never know life's hard sometimes.

I agree. That is why I mentioned at 4:42 in my video that I will be saving the old belt in my trunk for a potential future road trip emergency.

Thank you so much, you saved me time and money, you’re the best.

[@JohnsGarage]

I appreciate your feedback. That is why I make these video's to try to help out other people.

[@phendrix9476]

Great video and really appreciate your attention to detail. That’s the Bando belt 7PK1550 which is $12 or so online FWIW

Awesome video! I have a request if you get around or have the need for it. Replacing the crank pulley and the water pump pulley, and replacing the radiator hoses

Thanks so much John!! You're the best. Making me save valuable money which I did not have to spare! Cheers. Also have an IS350 2006. I am only planning to change the belt, I hope that I don't need to change the tensioner or idler pulley? Thanks again

Good video! But why would you change it at 60k miles? Shouldn't it last longer?

[@JohnsGarage]

It very well may last longer than 60K miles, but belts also wear out due to old age as they are rubber. A 16-year old rubber belt may be unreliable and could break. I felt better replacing it at home proactively for a few dollars and just 10-minutes of labor, rather than dealing with a broken belt later on the side of the road.

Can i used for 2009 Lexus es350?

[@Kushmiri]

Did it make a noise before you replaced it? Mine is making a loud scratching noise every time I start it.

[@JohnsGarage]

The belt on my car was not making any noise. I changed it as preventive maintenance. Without diagnosing your car, I can only make a guess. If the belt on a car is dried out, it can make noise. If the belt is loose, it can make a noise, but the automatic tensioner should hold the belt at the proper tension, unless the spring in the tensioner is going bad. The idler pulley bearing can also wear out and make noise. Same with the tensioner pulley. Since the belt is the least expensive part, and very easy to change, as you have seen in my video, I would suggest replacing the belt first to see if the noise goes away.
