How often should I change the camshaft in my Vauxhall Insignia?

I've noticed a decrease in engine performance and a loud ticking noise coming from the engine. How often should I replace the camshaft to avoid any further issues?

The camshaft is a crucial component of your engine and should be replaced every 100,000 miles. As you have noticed a decrease in performance and a ticking noise, it is recommended to have it checked and potentially replaced sooner to avoid any potential damage to your engine.

It is important to regularly check the condition of your camshaft and replace it every 5-7 years. However, if you are experiencing any issues like decreased performance and loud noises, it is best to have it inspected and replaced as soon as possible.

I would recommend having your camshaft inspected and replaced every 50,000 miles, as it is a crucial component for engine performance. Keep an eye out for any warning signs and address any issues immediately to avoid any potential damage.
