Does a 1999 1.0 vaxhall corsa have a cam belt or chain?

Question

Looking at one today vender said Cam chain make a noise, Just reserching to see if it is worth getting.

Answer 1

Chain. But beware chains break too.

Not sure about this engine but on the 2.2 Vectra engine the chain quite often breaks causing a lot of damage  and has to be changed at 100 000 miles

Thats progress ?

Answer 2

It's strange if it got a chain, my 2000 1.4 astra got a belt. i wish i had a chain

Answer 3

The corsa has a chain which is great as you don't need to service it,just as long as its free from dirt etc and well lubed it'll be fine.......

Answer 4

yeah, t's a chain, these little 3 cylinder engines are ususally ok with the chain, but if the seller says it's making a noise i would be a little wary as it will either have been run low on oil at some time or it may not have been servived regularly

cheers.

Answer 5

chain on these

Answer 6

It's a chain driven 3 cylinder Suzuki engine - probably the most economical & reliable unit you can get in a Corsa.
