If referring to the Camshaft drive, it will depend on what engine the vehicle has.
Generally speaking 1.0 and 1.2 petrol engines and 1.3 diesel engines are chain driven.
1.4 may be chain or belt, depending on the exact 1.4 engine fitted.
The rest are belt driven.
to an experienced person it's easy to tell just by looking at the engine, as most belt driven engines have plastic cam-belt covers for easy access when replacing the belt every 40k miles, while a chain is built into the engine as it is not normally expected to need replacement, and so has in effect "metal covers" that are part of the engine, rather than separate covers.
If in doubt phone any Vauxhall/Opel dealer, ask for service, quote your registration or chassis number, and ask how much it will cost to replace your cam-belt. If is has a chain they will say so.
Expect to pay about £250-300 to replace a belt, and £600-1000 to replace the chain.

timing chain
hi i have the same problem i have a vauxhall corsa 2004 and i have a little gap down the side of the window screen which is where i think the water is getting in, i think you will need to have the screen taken out and re-sealed hope this help
Lacking specific information about engine type, every 4 years or 40,000 miles, which ever comes first.
Timing chain......will last life of the vehicle. Chains are better than belts anytime.
All BMWs since E36 have had timing chains not belts so they never need replaced.
All gas 2.2 Liter GM engines have timing chains. Some 1980s 2.2 Liter diesels had a timing belt.

They don't have timing belts - since the introduction of the 2002 model they have had timing chains which should last the life of the engine.

Depending on what is causing the problem, it can cost between $10 and $300. It depends on the problem and the cost of the parts, and labor.
yes
