A16XER oil cooler
Hi
Does anyone know if the oil cooler on the 1.6 na engine is prone to leaking oil in to the cooling system. My daughter's car has oil on the surface of the water in the coolant header tank. I have drained and flushed the system twice and cleaned inside the header tank, only for the oil to return again. There isn't a great amount in there, but would like to find the cause .

The car has done 55k miles and has been well serviced and looked after. I suppose it could be the head gasket , hop

Astra J 1.6 A16XER (115 hp) 2010 Outer Belt (and perhaps Timing Belt, too
So 77 000 km behind and 10 years, outer and timing belt not yet changed. Heard that when changing outer belt you have to release the tensioner by taking the right inner wing away etc. Is it so? Any tips. Perhaps time to do timing belt, too? Is it normal job (done V6 several times so basically I can do it but never touched 1.6). What is timing belt change interval? How about water pump? Recommendation for kits?
