Parts for your 2009 Toyota Hilux surf-Drive belt

2009 Toyota Hilux Surf drive-belt: what it does and when to replace it

Yes, the 2009 Toyota Hilux Surf uses a drive-belt (V‑ribbed/serpentine belt). Technical references that list and picture this include Toyota’s Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) for the N210 Hilux Surf range (covering 2TR‑FE 2.7 petrol, 1GR‑FE 4.0 V6 petrol, and 1KD‑FTV 3.0 D‑4D diesel), Toyota service/repair manuals for the same platform, and major aftermarket catalogues from Gates and Dayco that specify accessory drive belts and tensioners for 2009 Hilux Surf variants. These sources confirm a single serpentine belt layout with an automatic tensioner on most trims, with air‑con driven from the same belt.

On this model, the drive-belt keeps everyday essentials spinning under the bonnet. It transfers crankshaft rotation to key accessories so the Surf charges properly, steers lightly and keeps the cabin cool.

• Alternator: maintains battery charge and keeps electrics happy.
• Power steering pump: gives the steering its assist.
• Air‑conditioning compressor: delivers cold air.
• Water pump: on the petrol engines, it’s typically belt‑driven
