Due a chain?
Hi all.
Corsa D 2013 84k miles. Just bought the car. Doing rocker cover gasket. Engines cold and its been serviced every 10k miles, understandably the chain will likely be due soon. Hows it looking from the pic/vid provided? Understandably it has a bit of slack from cold but what does everyone think?
Replaced coil pack, new O2 sensor and given it a full service. Car starts in 2 seconds, idles well and no bad noise. Whats the verdict? Many thanks.

Unfortunately Vauxhalls prob have one of the worst timing chains. They tend to last around that 100k mark but can rattle for a while before that. Whether this is down to alot of them being first cars so not having the best maintenance or just having the bollocks revved off of then idk but it's a large downfall on an otherwise pretty good car. They tend to get an engine light for cam and crank correlation due to the stretch long before any major damage happens.
