timing belt miles

[rockhound]

Hi everyone,

Just been looking at the autodata cd i had from a friend and it says that the timing belt and tensioners has to be changed every 80,000 miles,

Is this correct cos i dont want to kill my engine??
Thanks

I have met someone else that said this Autodata CD says you don't need to change your Tensioners just the Belt

And as loo-knee says, cambelt AND tensioners/idlers.

I am sure I have read it on here that Vauxhalls exhaust are good exhausts and not badly priced either, can't remember the actual price though
