I have been asked about information on a corsa with an ecotec 16v 1.2cc chain driven engine. Does one exist and if so where can i find some info?

This sounds like the curent model, which according to the brochure has a chain drive to the camshafts for the 1.2 16v engine. In addition, the 1.0litre 3cyl, 12v also has chain drive cams. None of the others; 1.4, 1.8 or diesels appear to use chain drive, so apparently are still belt driven.

Information - Vauxhall brochure is pretty comprehensive.

B it of a cheat, this, as these are really Suzuki engines. The Wagon R haa always had chain cams.
