Belt or chain in my Astra?
Has my Astra excite 2014 have a timing belt or a chain
Our answer:
Hi Sharon,
We'd need to know which engine your car has before answering properly. For example, the 1.7 diesel engine has a timing belt, but the 1.6 has a timing chain. It varies considerably from engine to engine.
