We are going to have our mechanic replace these items on our 2003 Sienna with 115,000 miles. Should be provide him Toyota brand or the brand from Autozone. A difference of about $125 dollars.

When I install a timing belt/water pump combination, I install a NEW water pump. Not a remanufactured water pump. So wherever you aquire the water pump from, make sure it’s a new one.

You don’t need to get toyota brand stuff. Most of the aftermarket brands are reputable. Rockauto is pretty good price wise. I just did my timing/water pump. Gates and Dayco are good belt brands. Gates has got a kit with all the idlers as wellas belt.
