I've had many camrys because i run a taxi business in Toronto Canada and I'm also a mechanic. These cars have tensioner problems and it will scare the drivers. I tried buying some tensioners from the toyota dealer but it will return to the same problem. What should and what brand of tensioners should I use.
Just a comment: … realize that you actually idle your cars far, far in excess of that what we private owners will ever do, … and that tensioner never, never rests. Hence, perhaps it would be more appropriate to run a clock on how long a tensioner lasts, … instead of odometer reading?
Best,
F.S.
If it continues to be a problem, you might want to do what taxi companies do in DC - they mostly seem to have switched to hybrid Toyotas - they don't run when stopped, get great gas mileage in stop and go, etc.
@glen_stet
The problem with hybrids is there pretty expensive when they break
I'm not sure if you can find better ones than OEM parts for Toyota. Can you?
