Ok , so 40k or 100k. .
Vauxhall say 100K or every 6 years (which ever comes first) but Haynes recommends every 40K or 4 years (which ever comes first) I will do mine every 5 years right in the middle as I won't get up to that sort of mileage.
That's interesting about the 6 years. Just had a flick through our timing belt data and it still states 10 years or 100,000 miles. Some of the early to mid 2000 model years are listed as 6 years. I wonder if this is quite a recent change to the time intervals then??
thread moved to were it can be more useful
