Hello,

My girlfriend has just bought a Toyota Corolla 2001 1.6 (Y reg) (E110)

Is it a Cambelt or Timing Chain?

Many thanks,

Rob

That is good news. When do the chains need replacing? I know cambelts are every 60k or so. She picks up the car on Monday. Just want to be prepared. :)

Ummmm when it breaks... There not cheep iirc about £200 for just the parts.

Mines done 152k and shows no sign of being worn out (they tick like a tappet would if there worn) so aslong as its serviced regularly, dont worry about it

Super. Her's has done 89k and sounds sweet, so should go on for a few year's yet then. Thanks for the info :)
