Do I have to change my Astra's chain?
I have a 2016 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 diesel. It has done just over 52000 miles. When should the timing belt/chain be replaced?
Our answer:
Hi Paul,
That engine has a timing chain, in theory designed for the life of the engine, so there's no set replacement schedule as there would be with a timing belt.
