Its a belt but its the rollers that fail check out www.v6technicians.co.uk they know all bout this engine It has a timing belt. Only some diesels or the 2.2 petrol Vectra's have timing chains.
my vectra is registered aug. 02 on the new shape with the 2.0 dti and have been told from the dealers that its a chain and not a belt, hope this helps Dave
Chain
i would recomend that you have the timing belt changed every 55k but they will last up till 70k , 60k seems to be the mileage that most have it done , but not all vectras have a timing belt !!! some such as the 2.2sri150 have a timing chain !!! hope this helps
Timing chains are designed to last the life of the engine and are normally replaced when the engine is rebuilt.
