2000 zr Major service 200,000 k's

[ruk]

1 st post so any help will be very much appreciated.

I'm wanting to purchase a zr 2001 celica with around 175000 k's and wondering what is involved with the major 200 km service.

ie

Timing chain ( i am under the impression these cars have a chain NOT belt? so does this need changing and how often etc? costs?

Lucky for you, I kept my crashed Celica's books (2001 model even). Here's what the service book has written from 180ks on, each one is different, I've shortened each one a little (details are too long):

180,000k (minor 'plus'):

Engine

Inspect engine drive belts

Replace Engine Oil

Replace Oil Filter

Inspect Cooling and heater systems

Inspect exhaust pipes and mountings

Ignition System

Inpsect battery

Fuel System

Inspect air filter

Inspect... some other stuff

Chassis and Body

Inspect loads of stuff, like 15 things

190,000k (Minor):

Just the usual stuff, much less then 180,000k.

200,000k (Major and LAST logbook service):

Engine

Inpsect engine drive belts

Replace engine oil

Replace engine oil filter

Inspect cooling and heater system

Replace engine coolant

Inspect exhaust pipes and mountings

Ignition System

Replace spark plugs.

Inspect Battery.

Fuel System

Replace air filter

Inspect some stuff (same as 180k)

Inspect charcoal canister

Chassis and Body:

....even more then 180k, the list is HUGE. All inspections.

It also recommends at 200k if its been driven hard or in a bad environment to change the manual gearbox oil.

I read as far back as 120k, which is as far as I still have, and there was no timing chain replacement. That said, if its inspected I would not be surprised at 200k if it needed replacing and would anyways. Yes, there is a timing chain, makes no difference, they snap too, Magna anyone?

i've never heard of, or seen, a 2ZZ chain snap, and i've worked on lots of them

with repeated over revving, the low chain sprocket gets distored, so if i see this during a tear down, I change both sprocket & chain

expect to pay about $500 for a 200k service, that does not include any chain work
