The V6 engine has a timing belt that's scheduled for replacement every 90 thousand miles. It's strongly suggested the water pump be changed at the same time since everything that has to be removed to replace the pump is already off for the belt replacement. The 4 cylinder engine has a timing chain that does not need servicing. Cheers,

The v6 Toyota solara has a timing belt. Their 4 cyl engines have timing chains.
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 )
The 2002 Toyota Solara does not have a "serpentine" belt that turns all of the pulleys. It has one belt that runs the power steering and a second "generator drive" belt.
Toyota recommends replacing the belt every 90,000 miles.
I checked the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc. ) The 2.4 liter 4 cylinder must have a timing CHAIN because they don't list a timing belt , but the 3.0 liter V6 has a timing BELT listed
it has a timing belt...
According to the Gates website : The 2001 Toyota Solara 2.2 liter 4 cylinder : Has a timing BELT, it is NOT an interference engine , change the belt at 90,000 miles
Both the 2.2 liter 4 cylinder and the 3.0 liter V6 engines used in a 2001 Toyota Solara have a timing BELT
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 V6 has a cam timing belt. Check the maintenance schedule for the car and you'll find the belt is scheduled for replacement at 90,000 miles. BTW the 4-cylinder Solara has a timing chain, no maintenance needed.
It has a timing belt.
