I am thinking of buying an 04 Astra 1.4 , 16v Life 60,000 mileage. Does anyone know the recommended cambelt change times on this model, and how much it is likely to cost if its coming up for one.
£3-400? Get real! Where are you getting them done? £250-280 at a main dealer, around £175 at an independent. Had cambelt changed on a 2.5L V6 Omega for £200!
this year saw the Astra g & Astra h.
the H has timing belt & the G has timing chains
recommended change is 60,000 miles or 6 years whichever comes first
tensioner pulley should also be changed.
Hiya, No idea about cost (£350-ish?) but it's essential to get the cam belt changed or it could cost you a completely broken engine. Usually cam belts are about 5 years I think? Unless anyone knows better?
