Hi guys,

Do the diesel engines run on a timing belt or chain? if a timing belt how often should i change it?

If its a chain do they need changing like a timing belt?

Sorry if it sounds obvious.

Would appreciate it if anyone could help.

thank you:look:

is it a squeeling or more of a dull whine? if its the whine then thats normal, well mine does it and so does my mates corsa thats chain driven.

If its the squeeling then yea probably the aux belt, one of my other mates cars does it, usually just needs tightning up and sometimes the belt and or tensioner needs changing but seeing as its a new car a tighten up would probably do. a local garage would be your best be for a tighten Vaux will probably tell you its something really major and charge the earth for it
