quote: He's right Robin, X10XE/X12XE and the Z versions have 1 chain :) Just say to Vauxhall you want the chain changed. Basically, what happens, is the chain stretches and wares. The tensioner can't tension any more. warren said you may as well just put a new chain in, because you only have to take the rocker cover off basically, whereas the tensioner, the whole side of the engine. Just get Vauxhall to change the chain. | |

only the 2.2 has two chains, smaller engines have the one | |

vauxhall do it two ways, either replace the chain (for the recall which you now have to pay for) or replace the whole lot (inc tensioner and guides) | |
