Want this question answered?
The v6 Toyota solara has a timing belt. Their 4 cyl engines have timing chains.
What would be the recommended miles to change out the timing belt on my 2001 Solara 4cyl. with 77,000 miles on it. Would 90K be a number close to factory recommendations?
The 4 cylinder has a timing chain that does not require replacement and is designed to last the life of the engine.
The 3.0 liter V6 engine in a 2003 Toyota Solara has a timing BELT ( according to the Gates website , they make timing belts etc. )
Yes , the 3.3 liter V6 engine in a 2004 Toyota Solara has a timing BELT ( P.S. - it is NOT an interference engine )
You don't as it has a chain not a belt.
you should hear something it does not have enouph power if not than you have to open it to see if it need to be changed
No . Have some mechanical assistant
when you buy a replacement belt buy a kit that also contains idler pulleys. its best to change them all at once. it should have drawings to show you proper routing and installation instructions.
Both the 2.2 liter 4 cylinder and the 3.0 liter V6 engines used in a 2001 Toyota Solara have a timing BELT
The 2.7 liter 4cylinder and the 4.0 liter V6 engines in a 2011 Toyota Tacoma have timing CHAINS
Toyota recommends replacing the belt every 90,000 miles.
