Was looking into getting the cambelt changed on my C20LET Corsa, dont know exactly how often they should be done but was just wondering how much are cambelts on average, & oviously wont be doing the job myself but a couple of people said its going to be a pain cus of the size of the engine in corsa (Which i can understand!)

Thanks

You don't need to remove the lower inlet.

Plus, they aren't that much of a pain. Theres plenty of room.

I wouldnt have said its much harder than a corsa 1.4 or 1.6, Its just that you have to remove 2 belts for the power steering and alternator instead of just one.

Its not hard, did mine a few times when i had an XE. Watch out for the pulley on the crank tho, if there same as a redtop they have 6 little spline head bolts that round off really easily.

yep those bolts are seriously crap, when ever I need to take them off I normally use a chisel then put in some new allen key ones. The ones straight out from vauxhall require a special tool which is why most people round them, however they round with that tool as well
