As a general rule of thumb, it is recommended to change the timing belt every 60,000-100,000 miles, depending on your driving habits and the make of your car. However, it's best to consult your Vauxhall Astra owner's manual for specific recommendations.

It's better to err on the side of caution and get your timing belt changed every 60,000 miles. This will prevent any unexpected breakdowns or major damages to your engine.

I personally change my timing belt every 80,000 miles and have never had any issues. Just make sure to schedule regular maintenance checks to catch any potential problems before they escalate.
