As with any DIY projects, the user assumes the risk

Watching this video i suddenly realized i bought this Prado from DIYIT13 one year ago. It was nice to see the jobs were done correctly. Pete.

[@DIYIT13]

How's the car going Pete? I miss it.

[@pete_adelaide3918]

@@DIYIT13 It has been solid as a rock, other than needing to change a thrust bearing, things do fail even with good maintenance. Thanks for all the good work you done within your care.

@@pete_adelaide3918 Good to hear, did you have to replace the head? D

[@pete_adelaide3918]

@@DIYIT13 For the time of owning the Prado i have never had a issue with it heating up, other than pushing it very hard in soft sand on the beach in 40C+ temps to which would heat anything up. (full pedal in second gear) To answer the question, No i haven't changed the head and still looking for a reason i need to. I do respect your honesty at point of sale about a possible head problem.

Great video! Just about to attempt this on my 1KZ Hiace and this video was super helpful.

[@champagnebathwater8524]

[@jamesbrett9537]

@@champagnebathwater8524 I no longer have that van but it was surprisingly easy. Easiest cam belt I have ever done.

Great video mate. Thank you. I like your crank seal removal method, very clever. 👏

[@DIYIT13]

Glad it helped

[@bushandbeachaustralia5577]

Great vid mate very helpful. Thanks

[@DIYIT13]

Cheers buddy, I have meaning to ask you about your camprite camper how do you find it?

[@bushandbeachaustralia5577]

Yeh love it bud. Ours is the last of the 2 person ones made. It’s a 2010 model. I’ll drop a link to a vid I made on it if you haven’t watched it yet. 🍻🤙🏽 Camprite Camper Setup, Walkaround Episode #2 Ironstone Gully Falls. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIGVh2ylhLBpsJo

[@chrislane942]

Good on ya mate. FYI workshop manual says to pull the valve cover and hold the camshaft behind... I like the crankshaft idea far more!

[@thatsiteilike]

What a good video!!

[@Gudetamaimmi]

Cheers for the video mate

[@andrewblinks975]

If you’re doing this, do the coolant flush with the old pump, not the new one!!!!

[@GusIsBored]

I shit you not i was just listening to the exact beck song at 5:55 when i came in from doing my timing belt to find this video. thats wild

[@josephbreda3330]

Great video

[@nickwinters3657]

Thanks for your video do you know by any chance the torc speck on them 10mil bolts on the thumostat please and is it possible do you think to change it without taking off the ac and olternator off I'd appreciate your advice kind regards. Nick

[@J0rd4nBr0]

I'm gonna be doing this in 10000 ks. Thanks for the great video

[@davidmiles3746]

Excellent and a Great video. As you said make sure you have the timing marks in the correct order. Otherwise it could cost you an engine replacement if it decides to throw a rod???

[@Eyad.E]

Hey mate great video thanks for uploading, just a quick question I'm having overheating issues only when I'm towing a load general driving I have no overheating issues at all what do you reckon the problem is?

[@DIYIT13]

Heya I would have a look at the fan clutch aka the viscous hub.

[@MrBlinksy]

Hey mate! Thanks for the vid! What do you use to clean the face where the water pump housing and where the oil plate goes? Doing mine the same this weekend so might have some more questions ;) cheers!

[@DIYIT13]

This is probably to late but I used brake cleaner, razor blades, sandpaper and clean rags.

[@annabanna666]

man thanks eaps, i cant find the tourque specs, any chance u know them for the big stuff like cam pulley and crnk pulley

[@shaneboyce9392]

Hi ,if hilux has only done 111,000 been 2013 Kun26 motor ,would you stretch it out to 150k like Toyota recommend b4 changing timing belt ? If water pumps not leaking would u leave be at 111,000ks as well,interested in your thoughts ,cheers

[@joshchittock4711]

what brand of workshop manual did you use? cheers

[@jakehoward2376]

hey mate, do you need to lock the cam? does it move?

[@berrafishman268]

Possible to do just the water pump replacment without taking out the radiator do you think?

[@DIYIT13]

Heya, yeah it possible, I would put some cardboard on the radiator accidentally heated and damaged the fins. I have always just taken it out so I can give it a good clean . Thanks watching

[@zabihrasheedi1846]

The engine oil is mixing with water in radiator but there is no water in the engine oil what is the cause? Please give the instructions.

[@ghulammuradi6651]

Good video bro. Would you recommend a cheaper option on the parts , does it have to be Toyota genuine parts? Would you recommend other names and brands ? Thanks

[@DIYIT13]

Heya I would always try and use genuine Toyota parts as they just last longer and are a better quality .

[@masikajanetngalire4131]

Gp

[@Farmer2492]

hi great video i was just wondering why the top pulley had to come off

[@DIYIT13]

Heya , The cam pulley had to come of so you can replace the cam seal. Thanks for watching. D

[@samk4369]

So timing belt replacement on these is every 150,000 kms not 100,000 like with other cars etc

[@mathew5956]

I would be doing it at every 100ks not every 150ks depending on how hard u drive 150 will prob be too late.
