It has a Chain.
It must have a timing CHAIN ( the Gates website does not have a listing for a timing belt )
The Echo has a chain. I tried to get a mechanic to change the belt once, he informed me that it had a chain.
The Echo doesn't have a timing belt. It has a timing chain, and this chain will last a very long time. Toyota doesn't recommend replacing it (as a preventative or maintenance measure) unless or until you have problems.
I believe all modern Toyota's have non-interference type engines, but the Echo does not have a timing belt, it has a chain, and there is NO predefined replacement interval for the chain (hope it lasts for 300,000+ miles). This is one of the nice features of the Echo/Yaris.
Its a chain drive so no need to worry about anything related to timing belt ;) Cheers
There is no timing belt in a 2002 Echo. It has a chain, and there is no service interval for it. If it starts making noises, have it checked out. It could last for hundreds of thousands of miles.
2001 Toyota Echo doesn't have a timing belt.
Toyota Echos have a timing chain rather than a timing belt so there is no need to change it.
