Doe's anyone know if this is a development of the old 1.7 diesel engine, or is it a completely new engine ? I've been trying work out if the engine is a cambelt or chain.

I've Googled all over the place my friend, and I can't find anything definitive. Time to contact Vauxhall / take your socket set into a dealership and have a look for yourself methinks.

Are we talking about the Astra H or the Astra J (the new new one)?

The EcoFlex is the latest version of the 1.7 CDTi, this is the same 1.7 engine just with some fancy bits added on! Its still a timing belt, and the oil pumps will still leak after 60k!
