I have just purchased a used Vauxhall Corsa and I'm wondering if it has a timing belt or a timing chain? If it's a timing belt, when should I have it replaced and what are the signs of a worn out timing belt?
ReplyHi Anna, it's important to know if your Vauxhall Corsa has a timing belt or a timing chain as it can greatly affect your maintenance schedule and expenses. Typically, Vauxhall Corsa models have a timing belt that should be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles or every 5 to 7 years, depending on your specific model and engine. Signs of a worn out timing belt include engine misfires, difficulty starting the car, and a loud squeaking noise. If your Corsa has a timing chain, it doesn't need to be replaced unless it shows signs of wear. Hope this helps!
