Changing timing belts on newer vehicles is getting more and more complicated, it takes more expensive specialty tools and the repair cost just keeps going up. These newer cars with the VVT variable valve timing require special tools and a high level of training and experience to change the timing belt. Even on this 2000 model you have to take the valve cover off to align the cams because there are no factory markings and special tools are needed to align the crank and cams. I'm sure it's pretty much the same on a lot of the other newer vehicles (especially high end vehicles) Manufacturers and dealers do not want anyone other than automotive technicians to be able to do even routine maintenance on their own vehicles. (keep in mind that dealers make 80%-90% of their profits on service and repairs) Here's a full proof way to do it yourself (if you're mechanically inclined and have a decent collection of tools) that will work every time as long as you take your time and do it right. Give yourself plenty of time (and having a helper might be mandatory depending on the vehicle)
buy the kits that have everything combined, and do a lot of research on how to do the belt on your particular vehicle before you attempt it. I suggest if you don't feel comfortable doing this job, don't do it! These timing belt changes today are not for inexperienced people. If you take it apart and can't figure out how to put it back together it will be very hard to find a mechanic who would be willing to help you. Bite the bullet and hire a professional
