Want this question answered?
The v6 Toyota solara has a timing belt. Their 4 cyl engines have timing chains.
Where is my thermostat on a 1999 Toyota Solora .
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 )
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
Toyota recommends replacing the belt every 90,000 miles.
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.
videos on how do you set the timing mark on a 2000 Toyota Camry Solara 2.2 liter , 4 cylinder
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?
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
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.
