My car is a 2001 Toyota Estima with the 3.0L 1MZ-FE and the AWD system. Car has 220,000 KM’s on the clock and engine + timing belt was replaced around 180,000 KM’s. Car started fine 10 hours ago with the belt squeaking which I chalked to being relatively cold in melbourne (11°C). Turned the car on this morning and it wouldn’t crank, battery showed 12.8V. However I noticed this weird buildup on my engine belt. Could this have caused the car to fail to start and what causes could have done this to my belt (also is it worth replacing now)?
