quick car question-timing belt and water pump

<p>The Avalon is Toyota’s flagship and maybe they put in better parts here and there. Cost really isn’t an issue to me on maintenance. If they say I should replace something, I replace it.</p>

<p>One of my old (cheaper Audis) had a leak in a fuel line after a zillion miles that I replaced. I think that my second Audi (rather expensive) had steel braided lines. Sometimes more expense = better parts.</p>
