The Toyota uses a timing chain instead of a belt, which is meant to last the entire lifespan of the vehicle. However, there is a possibility of it getting damaged or failing, leading to the car overheating. The replacement cost for the timing chain is around $100 for the part and another $100 for labor. Be careful when purchasing online as some retailers may confuse the terms "timing chain" and "timing belt" by calling both a cam belt. Using a timing belt instead of a chain will not work and you might end up with a part that is not useful.
