Timing belt intervals and rear suspension knock/rattles

Featured Replies

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me the correct interval for a 2013 j astra hatchback?. I changed mine at 65k miles and have now done 104k. I keep reading conflicting reports that it us every 4 years or 40k miles. oOther info is 10 myrs or 100k.

dont know what to believe.

Btw I wrote on previous posts regarding rear suspension rattles going over rough ground. Just an update, Replaced rear axle mounts, s/abs and springs, set trim heights also watts linkage but to no avail. Still rattle appears.

When going over speed bumps it is ok but rough road and potholes still there. Anybody to advise? Checked all body fixings..... all ok. 

no play in hubs. drives and corners ok.Rattle/ thump reallyi annoying. Would welcome any feedback.
