Belt or chain in a 2005 Toyota Avensis?
Does my 2005 year Toyota Avensis have a timing belt or a timing chain?

Hi Leigh,
It depends on the engine. There's a timing chain in the 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 and 2.4-litre petrol engines and a timing belt in the 2.0-litre diesels. The 2.2 diesel, which only went into production in 2005, has a timing chain.
