Is lexus rx 330 timing belt visible or is it inside engine

The RX 330 uses a timing belt. It will be on the outside end of the engine furthest from the gearbox. It will be hidden behind a plastic bolt on cover used to protect fingers from fast moving parts.
The cars with an internal timing setup use a timing 'chain' which doesn't need changing anywhere near as often.

Cost to replace tomimg belt on a 2004 lexus 430 sc

The labor time is approx 5 hours so multiply that by the shops hourly rate. The parts will vary depending whether you replace the tensioner and pulleys also. I would strongly recommend replacing the water pump while in there.

2000 Lexus RX300 had timing belt replaced at 91,000 miles, now has 155,000 miles - do I need to replace it again?

91 X 2 = 182,000 so why would you even listen
to that pitch

For $1100 I would drive it until it quit or fix it
myself or have a relative work on it

How much should it cost to replace the timing belt and water pump on a lexus es 2001

My car is a 2001 Lexus ES300 and has 106K miles. I brought it to my mechanic to replace Thermostat, Thermostat Gasket, Timing Belt, Water Pump, Camseals Kit, Crankseal, Air Filter, Fuel Filter, Timing Component and Spark Plugs for a total of $981.24 ($510 of it is labor). He charges at least 1/2 of a dealer so expect to pay more elsewhere. The care drives like a brand new car and I will keep driving it for another 10 years!!!

When should the timing belt be replaced? Should the water pump be replaced at the same time?

60,000 miles is recommended by Toyota/Lexus. Replacing the water pump is recommended because its driven by the timing belt. If not replaced and it fails in the future, you would have to re-do everything again!!

What are the steps to replace the water pump on 1996 lexus es300

Hi, you will need some special tool like : External torx (star)socket, pully and regular tool (# 10,12,14 etc..metric) to change the water pump. First, you need to clear the room for the job because such as Two belts -(alternator,air cond., pump ect and pully) need to disconnected and take out the plastic cover, tire e.t.c. There are about ten bolts. The water pump is inside the plastic cover which turns by the timing belt. I strongly recomment to change the timing belt at the same time ($30.00-timing belt- It last about 80000-90,000 miles). Remember to mark the timing gear carefully when you take the timing belt out. This will help you put the timing belt back in the right degree for the engine perform. Water pump can only replace after the timing belt is disconnected.
Take care

Normally, the manufacturers recommend this service between 80-100K, depending upon manufacturer and model. That said, as the vehicle is 9 model years old, there is a possibility of belt deterioration from age as well as mileage. As most of these engines are interference-type engines and would be damaged severely by a broken timing belt, if you have the funds to do this now, it would not be unreasonable to do so. The water pump is probably ok, but to not replace it with the timing belt is silly, because of where it is and the effort it takes to access it later. If you choose to wait, I would not wait past 60K, just because of the factors I already mentioned.
