Oh man, super jealous of the diesel. When the gasser dies, I'd like to swap in the comparable 2.4diesel (ala topgear). 404 km is getting up there. Unfortunately the truck had an owner within the family and he didn't appreciate it quite as much as I do. I'm sure it would have lasted longer if properly maintained. It's sure up to spec now

Looks like the OP has left the forum and hasnt returned to update us on his cars condition.Did we waste our time responding?Did the Op get any help out of our responses? Was the timing chain defective? should i worry about the Timing chain in my car?
Thanks Rampage maybe next time you join a forum you may want to read up on Forum etiquette before leaving us all hanging.. |

It is the same with motorcycle chains. There is a common myth that they stretch with age. If you measure one new and after 50K miles, the length is the same. The sprockets get worn and oval out, hence the need to adjust or tighten it periodically. Sorry about the confusion. I am inclined to believe that a maintained Yaris should be able to go 400k without having a timing chain issue. |

Really,, ok maybe stretch is perhaps too lay - the pins and bushes elongate causing poor mesh with the sprocket - resulting in premature wearing of the sprocket teeth,, culprit chain.... overheat it by lack of lubrication or poor lubrication pins wear chain gets longer...
Don't have acceptable tolerance specs handy,,, |

Yaris Timing Chain
I too have had a problem with my 59 plate Yaris which the dealer states will cost £800 to fix.
The only indication of the fault is the orange waring lamp on the dashboard. There is no noise or any form of problem with the car apart from the warning lamp. I spoke to the dealer who said they would not be willing to partisipate with the cost of the repair. My car has only done 31.00 miles and I feel that Toyota should be willing to investigate the fault further,as the timing chain should last almost the same lifetime as the car. Has anyone heard of this problem happening to anyone else, and if so how did it work out for them. |

Another chain story
My '08 Yaris has 45,000 miles and has NO SYMPTOMS. The dealer says I need a new chain. I have an extended warranty which he says DOES NOT APPLY??
What gives? |

I would definitely want to see more data as to why the shop believes that a car that new needs the timing chain replaced.

Wow, it's been a while since I was in the UK but I still think in terms of the old system which used letters to distinguish when the car was made...
Now I see that since 2001 it's been numbers... More info here: Vehicle registration plates of the United Kingdom Cheers! M2

what a crock. those chains should be good for at least 100k (old school thinking) as far as i know that chain is "lifetime" and in my oppinion. its part of the powerplant. so it should be covered under your power train waranty. if the dealer wants to fight you on it contact toyota direct. write a bad review. make as much noise as possible. hech picket outfront of there store. do every legal thing you can untill they make it right or just ignore them. 4 years, thats so bullcrap. unless your sitster drives like 50k a year or more there is no possible way. someone has a boat payment due.
Good luck Sean Scott |
