How often should I change the timing belt on my Vauxhall Astra?

I have a Vauxhall Astra and I'm not sure how often I should change the timing belt. Can you give me some advice on when is the recommended time to replace it and what happens if I don't replace it?

It is recommended to replace the timing belt on your Vauxhall Astra every 60,000-100,000 miles or every 6-10 years, whichever comes first.

If you don't replace the timing belt on time, it can lead to engine failure, which can be very expensive to repair.

My personal advice would be to check with your mechanic and follow the manufacturer's recommended schedule for timing belt replacement to avoid any potential engine damage.
