Hi and welcome to the forum :y
40,000 miles or 4years between each cambelt change mate. It used to be 80,000 miles

hey, thanks for the replies!, sorry to be a pain but since its expensive iam   asking these questions! i told vauxhall id heard the same thing 4 years or 40k and they took my engine number etc down and they said that 40k or 4 years was for the 2.0 and 2.2 omegas. but the intervals were different on the 2002 2.6 v6 engines 8 years or 80k, something about a 98y engine type!
should i believe them? (i was speaking to their headoffice customercare and not just the dealership)
cheers!

I've the same engine-spec mig ( one year younger) - stick with 4 years or 40'000 miles -better safe than sorry, sounds glib but in this case it's not - major piece of worry out of mind :y
