Does my Astra have a timing belt?
I have conflicting advise that my astra elite nav has a chain or rubber cambelt it is 67 plate registered in 2018. Could you advise if possible as mechanic says its rubber and the age of car means it needs replacing. Car done 33k miles
Our answer:
Hi Alastair,
You've not told us anything about the engine, and that's the key detail. However, our data shows that all engines fitted to a 2017 Astra should have timing chains, not timing belts. Come back to us with more information if you want us to check a specific engine.
