Vectra 2.0 dti timing belt change - mickeybhoy

Hello everyone

I've recently bought a 51 plate vectra 2.0dti club and it has run in just over 61k miles.

I'm thinking this is the time to get the timing belt changed, but someone mentioned to me that this model of car uses a chain therefore it wont need any belt change.

Can anyone clarify if this is definitely the case with the model of car that I have bought.

Cheers
