Hi, does anyone know if a NZ new Toyota Corolla GL (2004) has a cam-belt or is chain driven! Thanks.

belt

What! what 04 Corolla are you looking at!

It's a chain driven engine 04 is a bit of a change point but should have a 1ZZ-FE or a 2ZR-FE engine both 1.8l

paul_trader, May 29, 9:29am
This is the engine number- 1ZZ 1699515. So should that be chain driven!

Yes chain.

2ZZ-GE you mean

kazbanz, May 29, 10:49am
DO WHAT!
What was the change over year for corollas from belt to chain!
My info says 99/2000

kazbanz, May 29, 10:50am
Hi Paul--just to be 100% clear --I have 5 vehicles here with 1ZZ engines and ALL ARE CAM CHAIN ENGINES

gadgit3, May 29, 10:58am
Nope 2ZZ-GE is import corolla only. We never had the 2ZZ-GE as an engine option NZ new. And the 2ZR-FE is the 1.8 still but the new family.

The New current shape Corollas(140 series) have 2ZR-FE engines.(1800cc)

phillip.weston, May 29, 11:11am
yes but he said it was a 2004 model and the ZR family of engines weren't released until the current shape of Corolla in 2007.

I am pretty sure there was an NZ-new equivalent of the Run-X, thinking it was called the RS180!

gadgit3, May 29, 11:22am
Yip your right got the years a bit miffed I thought the ZR was a bit earlyer.
I cant comment too much on the RS180 as I have never seen one come through our dealership and is not on the New cars line up! I know there is a TS Corolla but it was more a sport model package and not an engine option.

Its easier to look up the configeration of the engine quoted by the OP

gadgit3, May 29, 1:03pm
Yip it is. just he didn't give the engine number untill after I had posted the first time

kazbanz, May 29, 2:17pm
hehehee---saw that

Who needs engine numbers!.don't chain engines always have an oil tight metal cam cover, while belt engines have a floppy plastic one.LOL
