Does my Opel Astra have a timing chaing?
Is it a timing chain in my opel astra two door 05 model
Our answer:
Hi Darren,
It depends on what engine you have under the bonnet. The 1.2 petrol, 1.3 diesel and 1.4 petrol use a chain, but all engines larger than that - petrol and diesel - use a timing belt.
