Many engines in the Toyota Aygo have a timing chain instead of a timing belt. These usually never need to be replaced. On this page you will find a list of Toyota Aygo engines that have a cam chain.
You will also find information about which engines that have a timing belt.
I have collected information about various popular diesel engines and petrol engines from the year 2005 until today.
The timing chains in Toyota Aygo are known to last very well as long as service and oil changes are handled.
If you hear a rattling sound from a motor with a timing chain, it may be a sign that the chain needs to be replaced.
Consult a mechanic if you hear a strange engine noise, especially if it is a rattling sound.
This can occur if, for example, the car has not been serviced properly.
If you are considering buying a used Toyota Aygo, make sure that the oil changes are made according to the car’s interval.
