    Hello,
    My wife has recently had a 2001 1Ltr 12 valve petrol Corsa.
    Does this have a cambelt or chain?
    At what mileage should it be renewed?
    It drives great and there is no problem with oil or anything, but there
    is a bit of a knocking noise from the engine, particularly when it's
    warmed up. Is this usual with this model?
    Thanks in anticipation.

    It is a chain. It "should" last the life time of the engine.

    Engine should be quiet once warmed up. There is a general Vauxhall
    recall on 1.0 & 1.2 engines to fix a batch of faulty timing chains but
    this is for 2003 to present day engines rather than 2001 I think. Might
    be worth asking a VX dealer to have a listen.
