[QUOTE="zan, post: 940973, member: 9632"] in cold weather countries, we can always stick to 100,000km recommended cam belt change. due to our extreme hot weather and drive environment it is strongly recommended to change earlier. the range is, as huakenny mentioned, between 80-90,000km. some people do take the limit to an extend but its a very high risk game. once the belt snapped, repairs could be expensive. certain engines however are designed to have minimal damage even after timing belt snapped. in my knowledge most Toyota 8V petrol and 16V petrol engines can still run just by changing the timing belt set even after the belt snapped or jumped few teeth. the 12V wont make it anyway. all Mitsubishi engines (including Proton) will have internal engine damage if timing belt snapped. Alfa Romeo's Boxer 8V and 16V engines as well as the 2.5/3.0 V6 require belt replacement at 30,000km. u try to extend and the belt will snapped not long after..say, like 31,000km. the 1.8 8V and 2.0 8V twin spark however chain driven camshaft. only since mid nineties did the inline 16 valves engine series with twin spark (sharing the same block as Fiat cars) require 100,000km change. timing chain used to be noisier than toothed cam belt, but as technology improves the timing chain is back in use. low maintenance is one of important criteria of good car sales. all toyota cars are now utilising fully the use of timing chain. this includes 1NZ-FE 1.5 for VIOS, 1ZZ-FE and 3ZZ-FE for Altis, and AZ-FE series for Camry.
