Cambelt interval--am I dreaming?
« on: 06 January 2008, 09:54:15 »
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

No mate, it's a belt. It says toothed belt + tensioner.

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

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
