Additional notes
- Opel/Vauxhall 1.4 Turbo (A14NET) with 80k+ km: timing chain stretch is a well-documented problem. The chain and tensioner design was revised multiple times but early versions (2010-2013) are worst affected. Symptoms: rattling on cold start, check engine light (P0016/P0017), poor idle. Chain replacement costs €800-1,500. If left too long, chain can skip teeth causing valve damage — catastrophic failure costing €3,000+.
