Belt or chain in my Insignia?

Does my 162d Vauxhall insignia eco flex have a timing belt or chain?

Our answer:

Hi Gerard,

It depends on which engine is under the bonnet - many were badged Ecoflex, regardless of what size they were or whether they were petrol or diesel. Assuming it's a diesel, the 1.6-litre engine uses a timing chain, but the 2.0 has a timing belt.
