Camry timing chain
16 Answers
if it is indeed a timing CHAIN, there is no service required. a timing chain is made to live through the life of the vehicule. yet there will have wear over the years, and eventually you may start to hear it. if the noise gets excessive, you can change it, but must also change the sprockets, to have a nice "tight" fit, in order to eliminate the noise
jay says a 2002 camry has a chain--littlehorn says a belt--who is right??
for All Camry models 2000-2006 are still Timing Belt. But the newer model from 2007 and up are Chain...
I just opened my car up removed the valve cover to find a chain. It is a 2002 Camry.
2002 Camry with 4cyl VVTI has chain. I made the conscious decision to purchase a 4cyl specifically for this reason. Drove it until 2010 and it had 225,000 miles with zero problems. Currently have 2007 4cyl with VVTI and chain. 186,000 miles. Zero problems. Toyota dealer said it was the VVTI engines.
Camry All Camrys from 1990 to 2001 and V6s from 1990 to 2006 have belts which should be replaced every 60k miles. 4-cylinder Camrys built from 2002 on – and V6s from 1990 on – have chains.
They have trimming chains for sure in 2003. Just had mine replaced after 250,000 miles just to keep it another three years at least.
2002 CAMRY Mine has 293,200 and still going strong. Boring but gets me anywhere I need to go.
I have a 2003 , Camry manual, its making a gurgling sound on the right side , if I replace the water pump will it stop that ? also is it necessary to change the timing chain too? Was else needs to be done , the Car runs well and is in good cosmetic condition , it will break my heart to see it in the junk yard........please suggest. Thanks
My 03 Camry has 307,000 miles and the chain broke due to an oil leak that put stress on the chain I’m a lil upset but not mad. It’s my fault for not checking the oil more frequently. Got her in the shop now to fix her back up. That’s the best car I ever had. Would swap her out for nothing. Good luck
Mine is 2002 has timing chan 4 cylinder vVTI engine and over 300000 miles and still strong!,

Does a 2006 Vito 2.4 Camry have a chain or belt for a timing belt
My 2002 Camry 4 cyl has a chain as mentioned above. I was surprised to learn that there is no expected change in time or maintenance. If your chain gets noisy you may get a new timing chain or sprocket but all you might have to do is adjust the tension on the chain tensioner.
