GU tappet adjustment interval

Hi,

I notice that the GU 4.2 diesel has tappet adjustment scheduled every 20k. It was done via dealer at 60k I checked it at 80k with almost no difference. Now done 110k and would rather wait until 120k to check.

Do you think this is to long?? Has your experience been that the gaps really do move that much and need doing every 20k?

Thanks

Every 40k is sufficient or unless there is an evident noise.

Better to be safe and do every 20k by the book though.

Should only take 30mins max.
