When is the Timing Belt change due for 96 Toyota Camry 4 Cylinder Car?

I have a 96 Toyota Camry(4 cylinder) car. I bought the car when it had 77000 miles on it, Not its close to 90,000 miles. I am getting a 90,000 miles service, so not sure what I should do for the timing belt. I don't know whether its already replaced or not. Can anyone knows the exact mileage when the timing belt should be changed for a 96 Camry.



Thank you very much,

Sai.

Most dealers tell you to replace them at the 88,000 tune up.

I have a 1995 and waited until 100,000 miles to change mine.

You don't want to wait too long. if it break while driving the car will stop right then and there. Also will warp heads in engine and they say they can fix that but I promise it will never drive the same again.

You should be about due, you could chance it and just keep driving, I've heard of cars going for 150,000 mi. on the original belt. If you have a %26quot;freewheeling %26quot; engine, even if the belt breaks, it will just strand you, it wont damage the engine.

If the engine is %26quot;non freewheeling%26quot; then the valves will hit the pistons, and ruin your whole day.



But many Toyota engines have a chain, I'd check that out, if your engine has a chain you wont need to do anything.

It should be easy to find this stuff out about your particular engine, the model code will be on the valve cover on top of the engine, and go from there.
every60,000 miles,but the toyota is a safe motor,not like honda where the belt break junk motor. toyota motor just put a belt and all set
usually hondas and toyotas are every 90 to 100K miles......walso water pump should be replaced at this time....
