Does a timing chain last longer than a belt?
Does the timing chane in my Vauxhall mokka 1.6 cdti exclusiv last longer than a timing belt in other mokka models, thank you.
Our answer:
Hi Lee,
In theory, timing chains are designed to last the life of an engine, while timing belts must be changed according to the manufacturer's schedule.
