How often do vauxhall change timing belts?

Depends on the model and age, but timing belts are generally expected to last for over 60,000 miles. I suspect they would last over 200, but the consequence of a belt breaking are so bad* you shoudl make sure you change when it is due.



*valves usually hit the pistons so you end up needing a new engine!
How often do vauxhall change timing belts?
on my old cavalier and astra i changed them every 15,000 miles
How often do vauxhall change timing belts?
Every 100,000 KM or 62,000 Miles
before 2003 every 40000 miles after every 60000 miles but would recommend changing tensioners and posibbly water pump depending on engine what engine is it ?
Current recommendations are down to 40k for the V6 models %26amp; 60k for the 4 pots.



Generally the diesels have timing chains - so called 'sealed for life'...but normally last 80-100k without problems.
Mine is recommended at 60,000 miles.
i do mine every 15000..and as soon as i buy a car it get done...better safe than sorry.
