2001 Toyota Echo doesn't have a timing belt.
I checked the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc. ) and they don't list a timing belt for a 2005 Toyota Echo so it must be a timing chain . I did a Google search and the Toyota website shows the 2000 to 2005 Echo as having a timing CHAIN
Its a chain drive so no need to worry about anything related to timing belt ;) Cheers
when it breaks
It must have a timing CHAIN ( the Gates website does not have a listing for a timing belt )
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.
The 2001 Toyota Echo is equipped with a timing chain rather than a timing belt, which typically requires less maintenance and has a longer lifespan. Timing chains are designed to last the life of the engine under normal driving conditions. However, it's still important to keep the engine well-maintained, as issues such as oil starvation can lead to premature wear. Regular oil changes and inspections can help ensure the timing chain operates effectively.
The Echo has a chain. I tried to get a mechanic to change the belt once, he informed me that it had a chain.
Toyota Echos have a timing chain rather than a timing belt so there is no need to change it.
I am 99.9 percent sure it is a timing chain. To be absolutely certain you can get your Vin No. off the rego papers and phone Toyota. Give them the Vin No. and they will tell you there and then. BillChain Chain Chain , all Vits , Yaris , echo's use chains
