Open your engine and check the configuration. If it is a 3.3 LIter V6 the belt Bit if 3.5 litre V6 then it is chain driven |

wesleyel: It's an interference engine. |
Re: Timing Belt vs Timing Chain: Which is the best? by wesleyel: 1:13pm On Apr 15, 2016 |
Siena: Damn, that's a bummer. I drive a 2005 Toyota corrolla, which I acquired two years ago directly from the USA. Since I've been using it here in Nigeria I've not change the timing belt but I always run a check on it to see if there's any wear n tear, but non visible so far. The ride has never been to a mechanic before, only to the pit for oil n brake pad changes. U know how mechs can here in Nigeria especially abuja. Even the big name workshop can't seem to answer some very basic questions. Why risk mechs messing up ones ride, that's the fear with changing timing belt n other parts when it's not broken. |

wesleyel: There is no way to verify how much life a timing belt has left, so checking it visually whilst in situ means very little. It may be possible to inspect it and check the teeth are not starting to lift, but only if the belt is not under tension, i.e removed from the engine. What is the current mileage on your Corolla? Yes, there are garbage mechanics in Nigwria, but you can't use that as an excuse to carry out maintenance issues. There are specialised shops, as well as Toyota and non-Toyota franchises in Nigeria that can handle your car competently. The only drawback is cost. But if you intend to own and drive a car, you've got to pay to play. |
Re: Timing Belt vs Timing Chain: Which is the best? by wesleyel: 6:20pm On Apr 15, 2016 |
Siena: Well you right, the money aint the issue here as I said getting a competent hand is. But I will do my research to get a specialised workshop. It has about 199,000 on it. I do follow maintenance religiously. I often order for synthetic oil according to specs from an online store in the US ahead of time plus filter. The ride is in a solid shape, it's just this timing belt thingy that is giving me course for concern. |

Sorry sienna one more question. Are the engines on camry pencil interference or non-interference?. Also, Mechs do say that when the timing belt snaps, if u don't try to start the vehicle then nothing would really go wrong like the valves bending n all. Don't know that's why I'm asking u, are they right.? Is the camry pencil interference or non interference? |

wesleyel: They are interference engines. |
