Does the Toyota Corolla have a timing belt?
1 Answers
Toyota Corolla uses a timing chain, not a timing belt. The specific details are as follows: 1. Rubber timing belts wear out over time along with other components such as tensioners, idler pulleys, and water pumps as the engine operates. 2. For engines equipped with timing belts, manufacturers have strict requirements to replace the timing belt and related components at specified intervals. 3. Timing chains, made of high-strength steel, effectively solve this issue. The strength of metal far exceeds that of rubber, significantly reducing deformation and making the occurrence of skipped teeth or breakage extremely rare.
