Never. Its a chain on the 2003...not a belt. I'm not aware of a specific interval for the metal chain
The v6 Toyota solara has a timing belt. Their 4 cyl engines have timing chains.
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.
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 )
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?
You don't as it has a chain not a 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
No . Have some mechanical assistant
Both the 2.2 liter 4 cylinder and the 3.0 liter V6 engines used in a 2001 Toyota Solara have a timing 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
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.
