Hi,
I need to change the drive belt(not the timing belt that is already changed) and hoses on 98 camry with 128k miles since they are never changed. I have a mechanic who do all the repairs on this car and i always buy parts from dealer or online. Now i see lot of different types of belts and hoses on the website. Normally which belt is referred as drive belt and which hoses need to be changed?
Thanks

Change the radiator hoses and the heater hoses.
Change both accessory belts. Alternator/air conditioner and power steering.

Maybe.
I check the hoses for swelling, softness, any signs of damage or leakage.
At 136,000 miles they still look perfectly fine.
I do change the drive belts though.

Something about the way Toyota makes hoses - they last far, far longer than aftermarket.
