General Car Chat / Astra Cambelt change
« on: 21 December 2019, 00:55:35 »
My 2012 Astra 1.6 has done 51000 miles and is just over 7.5 years old. Dealer states cambelt should be changed every 100,000 or 6 years (but they did not pick up on it last service 12 months ago).
Having now retired I will probably sell it but possibly move it to the house in Manchester as I am using rain more to visit relatives.
Is it worth the gamble given the mileage of leaving it another year. Cost is only £269 but seems a waste if selling but on the other hand would not really want cam belt to fail for next buyer.
