It comes with a chain.
The Toyota MR2 factory recommendations say to change the belt at 90,000 miles. If the belt runs past its use and the belt can snap leading to complete engine failure.
after about 80k
no it dose not have powersteering belt... it uses a hydraulic pump to turn
Closest to serpentine belt.
The timing belt is not difficult to replace nor is it expensive in and of itself. The problem is that the timing belt is difficult to get to. Mechanics also suggest that you replace the water pump and possibly some other components so that the the same area does not have to be dismantled in the future to do these repairs. It is not hard to get into the $400+ range.
well, it depends. i don't normally work on saturns, so i don't know how complicated they are. it probably can't be any more complicated than my mr2 though. i'd estimate between $350.00 and $500.00. hope that helps.
well the reason my coil was not getting power on my 85 mr2 was cuz the timing belt snaped
The 1.8 liter four cylinder engine in a 2002 Toyota MR2 has a timing CHAIN
