sshoesmith 0 Posted October 20, 2015 Hi, I have a 2004 petrol Avensis with 110k on the clock - is there any consensus about if/when the timing chain should be replaced ? Thanks, Stephen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konrad C 938 Posted October 20, 2015 So long as the engine has had regular Oil and filter changes, then the chain should last the life of the engine. Only if it is noisy would a change be necessary. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avensisd4d786 250 Posted October 20, 2015 I have not heard of a avensis with a bad chain yet , lets hope its a good thing, keep the chain lubricated with regular services and correct spec Oil as mentioned by Konrad. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimtaxi 3 Posted November 7, 2015 My 2.2 Avensis is now at 210000 miles Oil changed regularly so no issues, changing this chain would also have to include the chain wheels and tensioner mechanism to do a proper job. If no noise leave well alone, access makes this a tricky job even for experienced Toyota technicians. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
