When to change timing belt

[samp55]

Hi,

I have a 2000 Corolla. Does anyone know when a timing belt should be inspected/replaced on a Corolla? I checked the maintenance manual and it only specifies the replacement interval for other Toyota models such as Camry. Thanks in advance.

The 1zz-fe in the 2000 Corollas from memory is a chain, and therefore doesnt need to be replaced...

Take off the cam belt cover and have a look.......
if its rubber change between 70,000km's -100,000km's

This is a good safe schedual..
If ya drive hard go the first option...
If ya got a chain which i doup for a 2000 mdl car only change if it gets noisey

I had a 2000 Corolla. It's got a chain. The tensioner will wear out, so best to check it at the normal timing belt change intervals, about every 60-90K miles. Replace the tensioner if necessary
