The timing chain tensioner on a Vauxhall Corsa maintains the proper tension in the timing chain, ensuring optimal performance and preventing slack that could lead to chain wear or failure. It typically operates hydraulically, using engine oil pressure to adjust the tension automatically based on the chain's movement and load. When the engine runs, the tensioner extends or retracts as needed to keep the chain tight, allowing for smooth operation of the camshaft and crankshaft synchronization. Regular maintenance of the oil system is crucial for the tensioner's effective operation.
To change a Vauxhall Corsa timing change you need to first remove the rocker cover, the alternator tensioner, heat shield, water pump, engine mount, and crankshaft pulley. Now that you have found the timing change, unscrew the timing chain guides, remove old chain, and replace with new chain.

Yes, all Vauxhall 1 litre 3 cylinder engines have a timing chain.
yes it has a chain.
Till it starts to rattle.
Corsa B's and A's (nova) are fitted with a timing belt, where as vauxhall Corsa C's (which is what i have) are fitted with timing chains. would recommend a Corsa C as chains are a lot better last longer! But i can tick very loudly which up until recently mine did.
2005 Corsa doesn`t have a belt-it has a timing chain and as such doesn`t need to be changed
Timing chains are not like timing belts, they do not need to be changed. They are designed to last the life of the engine under normal use.
The 2008 Vauxhall Corsa typically comes with a timing chain rather than a timing belt. Timing chains are generally more durable and require less frequent maintenance compared to belts. However, it's always best to consult the owner's manual or a mechanic for specific information regarding your vehicle's engine type.
