Replying to: xpfshost (May 25, 2005 12:06 pm) The Camry 2.4 lite 4 cylinder engines going back to at least 2002 have timing chains. No timing chain maintenance required. Keep clean oil in the crankcase, top tier fuel in the gas tank, fresh antifreeze in the cooling system and keep an eye open for leaks and this engine will run for at least 200,000 miles. gearhead4 |

I have a flyer from my dealer estimating the cost of a timing belt replacement at $239.99. Isn't that really high?

Replying to: mcdawgg (Aug 01, 2008 2:51 pm) It's not clear whether the 240 is referencing a serpentine belt replacement (which should be cheaper than the 240), or a V6 with a timing belt replacement (which would be substantially more than the 240).

Replying to: 210delray (Aug 06, 2008 6:29 am) That can't possibly be a $240 job to replace the timing chain. Bet bernski was referring to the accessory belt. |

Let me make it easy for you, lol. 2002-2009 4 cyl. all have timing chains. 2007-2009 v6 engines have timing chains. 2006and older v6's have timing belts and should be replaced about every 90,000 miles or a bit less. $240.00 is about right for a timing belt., it is Not high. Last week i purchased a serpentine belt, for my 03 camry, directly from my toyota dealer, .cost.... $26.00 Labor 30 mins. I hope this helps, i made it nice and simple. Later Caaz

hello there, my sister has a toyota camry(1997) and saturday she was going somewhere and the car just died while on the road so she pulled over and i came to check it out, well i pulled the starter out and checked it,i know it has nothing to do with the car dying,its just something i like to check, well it worked fine but when i put it back in it will not turn the engine, in other words the engine is locked, i got underneath and tried to turn the crank at least a little and it will not budge, im guessing timing belt failure, am i correct in this assumption? i dont see what could make an engine lock up like that, car has oil, it does not smoke but shes not into preventive maintenance at all so ballpark is the car never had the belt replaced at the recommended interval so besides bent valves what else am i gonna have to fix?, thank you for any suggestions
