Will a Vauxhall timing chain last forever?
Will a timing chain on 2011 Vauxhall Astra last the life of the engine? Someone told me Vauxhall says this.

Hi John,
In theory, yes, that's right; timing chains are supposed to last the life of the engine in all cars. They don't always, of course, due to design faults or poor maintenance for the most part, but the assumption is that they will.
