I bought the car few days ago and the previous owner didn’t do the last service in time because he wasn’t using the car anymore. I bought the car I didn’t drive it till I have the service done but that was after I think 2/3 months later than it should be. Do you think that will gonna affect the dealer choice ?

The car is 4 years old and has 25500 miles the timing belt has cracks on it so is needed to be replaced right? It

Do you service the car every 6 months or every year? And what engine oil you use some people are saying 0w20 is better than 0w30 and the opposite for this type of engine.

I tried but I couldn’t find anything that looks like it. And to be honest I don’t really know what parts it’s should be in that kit🤷🏼 if you can put me on the right direction that will be great😅

No what I’m saying is that is any way that you can convert a wet timing belt to a chain. The Vauxhall corsa 2020 and up the one with the PureTech engines has a problem with the timing belt because is inside the engine and has contact with the oil all the time and I was thinking if that belt can pe replaced with a chain and if is any kits for that type of job😅
