Took all the books for the astra to bed with me last night, for a bit of serious reading ;D
My engine is the Z16XEP, look at the service interval for the cambelt :o

Is it a chain and not a rubber belt ? I have heard alot are going back to the chain
-
No mate, it's a belt. It says toothed belt + tensioner.
-
What year is the car ?
Edit: man or auto
-
Yep.....6 years is correct.....the setup and components have changed a bit on that engine.
-
I have noticed one thing, was the omega 80,000 miles and just 4years before they changed their minds, or was it 80,000 miles and 8 years,
Give it 4 years when the belts start snapping ans VX will quickly change their minds and make it 4 years and 40,000 miles ;D ;D
Edit Oh its 10years on yours i read it wrong throught it was 8 years and 80,000 :-[ :-[ still waking up is a good excuse ;D
-

Then why does it say 10 years ,100,000 miles?
-
They must of used stronger Elastic Bands ;D
-
No way I'm trusting a belt for 10 years, 100000 ;D
-
Yeah, and Rover said the HG would last the life of the car.... :-X

look at the 1,6 Fiat engine, i think they say the same too, but i agree, canīt imagine rubber lasting 10 years in any environment :o

What are you worried about Steve? You'll have moved the car on within 18 months anyway. Probably less than 12 months if your previous is anything to go on. :y

Yes, its right......its a very simple belt run mind....much more in keeping with the old 8 valve units.

I agree. 1 million miles is far too long.
