Product Details

PP257LK3 is engineered as a complete timing service kit for vehicles that require coordinated replacement of the belt drive and cooling system components during scheduled maintenance. The kit is listed for 1994-2001 Toyota Camry, 1995-2004 Toyota Avalon, 1998-2003 Toyota Sienna, 1999-2003 Toyota Solara, 1994-2001 Lexus ES300, and 1999-2003 Lexus RX300. This part cross-references Toyota and aftermarket numbers such as 13503-62030 and WP257K1AS for the same application. Continental Pro Series Plus focuses on application-specific timing components, and PP257LK3 is built around that service approach.

Common Service Issues Addressed

• Worn or stretched timing belt
• Coolant leakage from the water pump
• Noisy or rough-running tensioner and idler components
• Oil seepage at camshaft seals
• Timing service due on interference-engine applications

Installation Notes

Verify engine code and vehicle application before installation. Use the timing marks during alignment, and replace related seals and tensioning components as part of the timing service. On interference engines, correct cam and crank timing is critical during reassembly. Confirm fitment for the exact Toyota Camry, Avalon, Sienna, Solara, Lexus ES300, or Lexus RX300 model year before ordering PP257LK3.
