Avensis 2.4 - Cambelt Or Timing Chain?

[golders]

Hello guys,

Recently bought a 54 reg Avensis 2.4, can anyone tell me if it has a Cambelt or Timing chain?

I know cambelts need changing at 55-60k. So just want to make sure.

Many thanks,

Rob

Chain!

All petrol Avensis are chain post 2000.

Rare engine the 2400cc 2AZFSE.

How much miles to the gallon out of interest?

Hello Konrad,

That's good news its a chain.

The 2.4 is an automatic and is doing 28mpg around town and 42mpg at 60mph on the motorway according to the cars computer. So not too bad for a big old engine really.

With leather seats and cruise control it wafts around more like a Merc than a Toyota so we are enjoying it so far.

Thanks,

Rob

Rob,

You should have said 'wafts around more like a Lexus'.

Yes I remember first seeing your model at the 2004 motor show. Remember those?

Nice car anyway.
