Is the Toyota Corolla equipped with a timing belt or chain?

[McSavannah]

The current Corolla uses a timing chain. Here is the relevant information: 1. Refer to the vehicle manual and maintenance guide for details on the mileage and time intervals for replacing the timing belt. Timing belts have been used in engines for a long time, with mature technology, lower costs, and less noise, but they require regular inspection and maintenance, typically needing replacement every 50,000 to 100,000 kilometers. 2. Timing chains offer significant advantages such as compact structure, high power transmission efficiency, high reliability and wear resistance, and are maintenance-free for life. However, compared to traditional timing belts, they generally produce slightly more noise.
