Hi guys,

Got my cars 5th service tomorrow as well as an MOT. I thought i would give him a bit of a scrub before he goes in

Anyway, i was just having a gander and i don't think it has had its timing belt changed yet. Its a Corsa 2001 1.2 (yes, yes, i know) and its done 63K. Do you think i should get them to replace it?

How much do you think it would cost?

Cheers

normally done around 70/80k miles aren't they? suppose you could get it done for peace of mind depending how much it costs.

Interesting, i have had a look at the corsa c forums! lol, yes it exists! And aparently the CorsaC uses a chain for the timing belt. Do these need replacing if they are not making a god awful noise?

Chains are usually good for the life of the engine.

There was a recall on some of them. If yours is making a racket, you may be able to convince Vauxhall that it's a warranty job.
