Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Cars / July 20062006 RAV4 v6
Just bought this car last week and going thru the owners manual and there is no mention of replacing timing belt. There is no reference to timing belt any where in the manual. Could this mean that I don't have to worry about changing the belt at 60 or 90 thousand mile intervals? Did Toyota go back to using chain or better yet - gears? What about other new Toyotas? > Just bought this car last week and going thru the owners manual and there > is no mention of replacing timing belt.

I "think" the I4 does as well. rj > Just bought this car last week and going thru the owners manual and there > is no mention of replacing timing belt.

Did Toyota > go back to using chain or better yet - gears? What about other new > Toyotas? Toyota's web site lists the 2001-2005 4 cylinder as having a chain. Presumably, the 2006 also has a chain, especially since there is no replacement interval.

I believe it's a timing chain also, just bought one and asked about that. --Ben >>Just bought this car last week and going thru the owners manual and there >>is [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > --Ben 2GR-FE engine with variable valve timing. Chain driven. -- Mike Harris Austin, TX What about their v8's (e.g. Landcruiser, Sequoia, Tundra, etc.)? Could variable valve timing have necessitated going back to chain drive? > Just bought this car last week and going thru the owners manual and there > is no mention of replacing timing belt.

There is no connection between variable valve timing and whether the camshaft is timed with a belt or chain. SignatureRay O (correct punctuation to reply) |
