2001 GT Timing Chain or Belt? and when to change

**TRIGGA_GT** · 07-29-2008, 07:08 PM

I jus got my celica and I'm not quite sure if its a belt or chain??

When should it be serviced?? 100KM or 150KM?

Buy a repair manual. Sorry, not trying to sound like an ass

Just found out from my buddy that it uses a Chain since its a 1ZZFE engie.

btw, who makes the celica repair manual?? I know hynes doesn't make one for the celica.
What other repair manual brands make the celica manual??

I dont' want to spend crazy amounts of money for the genuine TOYOTA manual

Well its a timing chain.

That seems to be it, try an ebay search

and if you wanna know intervals, talk to a Toyota mechanic, or order the car manual (not the repair manual) or find one in a scrapper

100k

Or check Toyota.ca for maintenance schedule.

I've heard more than once the timing chain never has to be changed on Celicas...but don't quote me on that.

usually timing CHAINS never have to be changed in any vehicle

However, shit happens

Since chains are alot stronger than belts they last alot longer than belts. I have of chains breaking but it is not very often at all. Belts snap all the time. If a timing chain snaps...it will be a mess.

yeah, considering all the little links go flipping everywhere

which is why you get your chain CHECKED and replaced when wear occurs
