    Toyota Corolla: Changing timing belt

    Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota Corolla Toyota Corolla Advice Toyota Corolla 1999
    When having my 1999 Toyota Corolla Conquest serviced recently, I asked the service advisor if it was due for a timing belt replacement. It has only done 90,000 km, but it's 10 years old. I was told it was all right up to 150,000 km. What do you think? Also, will the car run ok using E10 fuel if and when unleaded is phased out?

    The timing belt is usually changed at 150,000 km on that model and most dealers are happy to do it on the basis of distance done rather than a time limit. Regular unleaded is being phased out in NSW only in 2011. Your car should be fine on E10, BP guarantees its E10 is suitable for all vehicles regardless of the age of the vehicle, the other oil companies don’t make that guarantee at the moment, but probably will. With that in mind use BP E10 if you have any doubts.
