When to change my Astra's chain?

Hi ok thanks when do you recommend I change it

Our answer:

Hi Dean, 

This question is in relation to your 2015 Vauxhall Astra powered by the turbocharged 1.6-litre petrol engine. It has a timing chain (not a belt) and generally, chains are designed for the life of the engine. They don't usually come with set replacement schedules and unless they're noisy or damaged then there's no reason to change them.
