Special Precautions Special Precautions Disconnect battery earth lead. DO NOT turn crankshaft or camshaft when timing belt removed. Remove glow plugs to ease turning engine. Turn engine in normal direction of rotation (unless otherwise stated).
DO NOT turn engine via camshaft or other sprockets. Observe all tightening torques. Check diesel injection pump timing after belt replacement. Removal Removal 1. Support engine. 2. Remove: Air filter and air intake hoses. Auxiliary drive belts. RH engine mounting. Vacuum pipe bracket. Timing belt upper cover [1]. 3. Turn crankshaft clockwise to TDC on No.1 cylinder. Ensure crankshaft sprocket timing marks aligned [2]. 4. Insert M6 x 1,00 bolt in camshaft sprocket and M8 x 1,25 bolt in injection pump sprocket to lock sprockets in position [3]. NOTE: If locating holes not aligned: Turn crankshaft one turn. 5. Remove: Crankshaft pulley (4 bolts). Timing belt lower cover [4]. 6. Slacken tensioner bolts [6]. Remove tensioner spring [5]. 7. Move tensioner pulley away from belt. Lightly tighten bolts. 8. Remove timing belt. Installation Installation 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Use crankshaft pulley to check TDC marks aligned [2]. Ensure locking bolts located correctly [3]. Fit timing belt in clockwise direction, starting at crankshaft sprocket. Ensure belt is taut between sprockets. Temporarily fit crankshaft pulley.
Ensure timing marks aligned [2]. Fit tensioner spring [5]. Corsa-B/Corsavan/Combo: Slacken tensioner bolts [6]. Allow tensioner to operate. Remove locking bolts [3]. Tighten tensioner bolts to 19 Nm [6]. Turn crankshaft slowly two turns clockwise. Ensure timing marks aligned [2]. 6. Astra-F/Vectra/Cavalier: Slacken tensioner bolts [6]. Temporarily fit crankshaft pulley. Remove locking bolts [3]. Turn crankshaft 60° anti-clockwise (against normal direction of rotation) [7]. Tighten tensioner bolts to 19 Nm [6]. Turn crankshaft slowly two turns + 60° clockwise until timing marks aligned [2]. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Ensure timing marks aligned [2]. Ensure locking bolts can be inserted in sprockets [3]. If not: Repeat tensioning procedure. Remove crankshaft pulley. Fit timing belt lower cover [4]. Fit crankshaft pulley. Tighten bolts to 20 Nm. Install components in reverse order of removal.
