How often does it take to replace the timing belt of an Opel Astra J?
Years 2009-2016

Answer

The timing belt is a fundamental component for the correct functioning of a car engine, as it allows the rotation of the crankshaft to be harmonized and synchronized with that of the camshaft. As a guideline, in the Opel Astra J it is advisable to replace this part every five years or after reaching the mileage of approximately 100,000/150000 km.
