[Ean]

my cam belts done? or is it a chain? do you have to change them?

I have a 2.2 Direct Elite. on a '53 plate, jus about done 45,000 miles.

Any other larger bills I should be getting on with?

Thanks for your helps!

I think you have a chain not a cam belt. So unless it "rattles" you will not need to change it.

yep, it's a chain, so leave it be..

As above, and as long as you give it regular servicing/oil changes then you'll keep the chains in good nick.

But is this 2.2 petrol or diesel?

Diesel 2.2 have belts.


edit, just seen it's a 2.2 direct - petrol then.

Diesel 2.2 have belts.

I thought my 2.2 DTi had a chain tho???

Crikey! Whatever was I thinking. Yes, you're right. It's the Fiat derived diesel engines that have belts. The 2.0 / 2.2 diesel and the 2.0 turbo / 2.2 petrol have chains.
