Hi Guys badly need some help if possible!Heres my story: I purchased my 2001 X reg 2.2 CD auto [engine No: 11101966] on jan 03, it had FDSH 1 owner and a low milage of 36000 miles, but after only 5 months the timing chain went on me so it was taken to vauxhall who seemed to be astonished, saying 'it was Rare for timing chains to go' (LOL) but Luckily enough it was still under warranty so work was done free of charge.....But heres the problem. Its now 3 years on the Damn thing has gone yet again and vauxhall will not take any blame and are wanting over £2000 to fix it! (GULP) So what i need to know if possible Guys, are vauxhall at fault here? I have since read about the Timing chain problems on z2.2se engines and the replacement oil lube thingy (hex nut) and now i am thinking maybe vauxhall forgot to replace/udate some parts when they originally fixed the timing chain??.. Or do you think it would have gone again after only 30K and my car has always been serviced regulary by either Vauxhall or a Ford garage. Is it worth ringing up head office/customer supportor even taking this further with a solicitor as this should not happen!! Many thanks EDIT: I have since read a thread on the z22se forums and some say the chain will be covered for 60k or 6 years whichever comes first. True or False?
