TIMING CHAIN/BELT 2004 CAMRY ALTEVA 4 CYLINDER

[sprint]

I have just bought [privately] a toyota 2004 Camry Alteva 4 cylinder Sedan Auto transmission

Do these engines have a timing belt or a timing chain?

If a belt or a chain - when [klms] do they need replacing?

What does it normally cost to have replaced by a local mechanic?

Thanks

2AZ-FE runs a timing chain, generally they last the lifetime of the car.

Replaced my chain at the 150,000km mark.

Thanks guys - good its a timing chain

What was it worth to change via a mechanic?

$250 cash for my V6 Camry timing belt change( I supplied all the parts no water pump !), 4 cyc should be cheaper i think.

The 2az-fe does not run a timing belt and a timing chain change is usually more expensive.

Also, you can't compare cash payments.

I don't follow - did I miss something?

No, simply saying thanks for the info offered
