[Ted]

Dear all,

1) toyota genuine compressor belt for toyota premio 260 is 10500.

2) I bought so called toyota genuine belt of the same from panchikawatta but mede in indonasia at cost 5500.

3) Also later i got to know that a thaiwan or singapre one is available for 2000 or 1700.

Are 2) and 3) same ? If so have i wasted 3500?????

Allion/Premio 260 has a timing chain. Toyota Lanka is notorious for ripping off customers.

Ted, stop opening a new thread for every question that pops into your mind about the car.

Thanks asrock . well then certainly it cannot be the timing chain coz if theres a substitute in panchikawatta for 1/4 the price it might as well be some kind of chain made from a used bicycle chain .

The genuine belt is 35USD on amayama JAPAN (5000 LKR ish)

So theoretically with legit tax (close to 50%) and shipping it comes close to 10K

The engine has only one belt for everything, so obviously it's more expensive.

Edit: Power steering is on a second belt. Just checked service history of the Vios.

Yes, its electric power steering.

Is it the serpentine belt? Different people call it different names. One of my friends once told "I have replaced radiator fan belt in my Allion" referring to the same belt.
