    Someone I know is looking at buying a second hand Opel Astra 1.4 2001 and they're wondering how often the timing belt needs to be replaced?

    Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    The usual is around/before every 60K miles

    It's calculated time/milage whichever comes first, consult vehicle handbook or website if in doubt about its history have it changed.
