Hi, ive just bought a zafira 2001 1.8 with 8500 miles. petrol,no probs as of yet,but i keep hearing about cambelts and i`m wondering if any one knows the warning signs and if it needs changing,also is there any other likely problems to come.thanks
You don't say what engine is in your 2001 Zafira, hope you get your answer from the following info (Autodata). Petrol.
1.6 = every 40,000 miles or 4 years whichever comes first.
1.8 = every 40,000 miles or 4 years whichever comes first.
2.0 = Turbo =every 40,000 miles or 4 years whichever comes first.
2.2 = TIMING CHAIN
Diesel.
1.7DTI = every 100'000 miles or 10 years whichever comes first.
2.0DTI = TIMING CHAIN
I think he did,to the op do you have any service history with the car?If not its best to get it checked out cheaper to have the belt changed than repairs to the engine.
