Timing chain

There is no manufacturer specified replacement interval for the engine timing chain on Toyota Corolla 2018 1.8 petrol, expecting it to last until the engine is overhauled (approximately 220,000 km - 370,000 km).
Based on real life experience, the Toyota Corolla 2018 1.8 VVT-i timing chain change interval is approximately 150,000 km as at this mileage it may become overstretched and require replacement, so it is recommended to check the condition of the chain periodically after this mileage is reached and replace the timing chain if it becomes excessively stretched or if unusual engine noises occur.
