The wife has just had here free service and MOT at autoplanet and they are insisting that the cambelt needs changing on her 2002 Vaux Vecta C, I am sure that the 2.2 engine had a chain not a belt, the car had done 45,000 miles so would probably be due a cambelt, however I think they are trying to fleece the misses, she nearly paid the £450 to have it changed,, luckily she phoned me first and I stopped her !!!!!

Does anyone know if the 2.2ltr enigne in the 2002 Vectra C had Cam chain or Cam belt?

Regards

Steve

Sorry mate, don't know.  I'm sure I've seen something on here about it though so it might be worth a search..!

Petrol or diesel? And please resize your avatar!

its been a good 3 years since i worked on cars but the diesels have a chain and all the 2.2 petrols i ever saw where belts, and if its a belt £450 is way over the top price wise even if they change all the belts and water pump in that price,
its a wile since i did anything on the chain driven engine but i think £450 is dear even to do that as the chain as a kit is only £100ish so thats £350 labour 4 a job that i seem to remember taks 4 hours thats £87.50 an hour

by the way the veccy is petrol

Do you know the engine code?

eg. something like Z22SE

Should be on the car pass where the radio code is found

If it is Z22SE (which I think it has to be) then it has a chain.

I have to agree,, not one of our best purchases, its a horrbile ride and even though engine is 2.2 the gearbox ratio it totally wrong and engine lacks low down power,, never buy another one put it that way.... thanks for help by the way

Cheers

Whatever you or someone else has done to the pic, it looks 'as intended' to me, like this:
