Whether your Toyota Corolla is equipped with a timing belt or chain is determined by the year it was manufactured. Corollas built from 1990 to 1997 come with a timing belt that should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. On the other hand, models produced from 1998 onwards up to the present day are equipped with a timing chain that is designed to last the lifetime of the vehicle and typically does not require replacement unless the vehicle experiences significant damage such as from an accident.
Toyota Corolla cars manufactured in 1998 or later come equipped with timing chains instead of timing belts. On the other hand, Corolla vehicles produced between 1990 and 1997 are equipped with timing belts, which should be replaced every 60,000 miles.
It varies. If your Toyota Corolla is a 1998 model year or newer, it doesn't come equipped with a timing belt; instead, it utilizes a chain.
