Q&A: Does a HiAce have a timing belt?
Ezra wants to know if his HiAce’s engine has a timing belt or chain
Q: Hey I was just wondering if you could tell me if a 1999 Toyota Hiace has a belt or chain and at what stage do they need changing?
Kind regards
Ezra
A: There are four different engine combinations in that vintage Hiace depending on model.
The easiest explanation is the two petrol variants both have timing chains and have no scheduled replacement time, while the two diesel variants have timing belts and require changing every 150,000kms.
