Cambelt - 2.0 CDTI, 2011

[sparkyscfc74]

Hey folks,

Been looking into this for a while and some conflicting information from Vauxhall Garages.

Was always under the impression from the garages information that:
- Astra 2.0 CDTI was 60k or 6 years
- Insignia 2.0 CDTI was 100k or 10 years
(whichever comes first).

Anyway, now im at stage where im defiantly looking to get it done, and Vauxhall have apparently revised it for both engines to 100k or 6 years, whichever comes first. I rang up HQ to check and this is what they advised.

Question is, does it REALLY need doing at 6 years??

I know its a pig if the belt goes as engine is goosed, but im just curios.

Thanks.

My Astra has done 64000 and will be 6 years old next month, I wouldn’t think that once it hits 6 years it’s going to be at loads more risk of breaking than it was at 5 years old but I suppose Vauxhall have got to cover themselves the same as any other Manufactuer?
With that said, it is on my list for this year as I wouldn’t want the repair bill if it went
