Thanks for taking the time to show your work, I’m a novice in mechanical skill I’d say and your detailed video has helped me a lot. Especially when money is tight these days.
Ilove your videos eddy. I would honestly try without the music, alot of people like to hear the actual sounds of the job. Try your next video out and see 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Good video my guy. No need for locking tools though. The new belt has massive white lines on it that you line up with the markings on the pulleys. I can see them on the belt you have here but you didn't use them. Still a decent video though.
Those lines may not be on the belt thats coming off ( yes they are on the belt in the video, but some people take the belt off and reuse it, it that belt does not have the white lines on ( lots of manufacturers belts do not ) then you do need the locking kit to prevent damage. But you are correct about a belt with the lines on.
Not picking faults here but just a tip also. The crank tool,you use last after the old belt has been removed as you're adding more work than necessary having to take it off again you can then tweak the BDC if necessary as most people use the marks method over time which when 3 belt changes have been made can add to errors. when its bang on the engine will purr
You get a bolt in the kit to lever off the tensioner to the left hand side. Also he didn't tension the belt correctly. The tensioner pointer should point at the drilled hole just above the locating slot for correct tension.
Hi mate can you check if my insignia needs a belt change just bought it 92000 miles looked at belt and seems ok from top is the an away to check online! Also were did you buy the kit?
@HOWTODIYwithEddy Thanks for the response, is it passenger or driver side ? I've not had a good poke around the engine yet as I've only had the car 3 weeks
@@garyhowe88 Not the MK1s mate. They WILL die at ~10 years/100k if you don't change that oil pump. Most people don't change their oil or use crap oil which greatly accelerates that process.
@cgavin1 163k on mine currently 2010 🤣 I literally see atleast 3 or 4 everyday while commuting, biggest issue I've had is having to change the flywheel twice in that time.
I have an Astra 2.0 CDTI with 245000 km, still ok. Problèmes with egr valve and dof, but eady to clean...

I agree. Superb video, but the music adds nothing and if anything 'cheapens' it.
I will try soon, thank you
Best video I’ve seen on this procedure 10/10 👍🏻🙂
thank you
Awesome video, you convinced me to do the maintenance my self ! Cheers

Why on earth did you fit the crank locking tool before taking the old belt off and putting the new one in position?

Yes, thank you 😊
Great video and thanks for taking the time to make it. Can you tell me where to buy the tool kit to lock up the engine. Thanks in advance?
Ebay, has good price on timing tools
Bro how did you adjust tensioner marking point you did not show how to adjust that tensioner.how did you put tension on to timing belt
You get a bolt in the kit to lever off the tensioner to the left hand side. Also he didn't tension the belt correctly. The tensioner pointer should point at the drilled hole just above the locating slot for correct tension.
Is there much difference between a 2014 eco flex engine and this?
Will this be the same on a 2015 insignia 2.0 Diesel? If so then i will use this video to attempt it 🙂
Thanks
Hi can you post a link to the timing tool kit you used please? Thanks

Do you apply the same elaborate techinque as on a 3 wheeled child's scooter?
Hahahahhaha ;-)
Hi mate can you check if my insignia needs a belt change just bought it 92000 miles looked at belt and seems ok from top is the an away to check online! Also were did you buy the kit?
I bought it in general traffic, only with reg I can see what milage needs to be changed as I only have autodata online
I watched the video and I saw white lines on the belt and when you rotated it the white lines didn’t seem to line up with the timing marks
White line is for reference, once you rotate the full cycle ,do the locking and they have to match as shown in the video
Hi where did you get the locking tool from please ?
I bought from ebay long time ago
@@HOWTODIYwithEddy found it now. Thank you
can do these in 40 mins no need to take the wheel off just a few clips for the arch liner
How come you never renewed the tensioner locating bolt behind the the plate?
Is it possible to replace these? Thinking of DIYing mine and worry about shearing this..
Need a help with my car. It wouldn’t start and making cranky noise.
Usually if is out of timing, a diagnostic with a machine will tell, because the crank and cam sensors will not be sincronized
But could be so many things, need a physical diagnostic
Very nice Joe thank you for you better thanks
You were wanderfull👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you
Where is the best jacking point under the engine please ?
Under the gearbox side
@HOWTODIYwithEddy Thanks for the response, is it passenger or driver side ? I've not had a good poke around the engine yet as I've only had the car 3 weeks
How much would this job cost n UK on exactly same car please???
It could be around £600 with a timing kit, but the price depends on garages
@@HOWTODIYwithEddy
£450 got it for cheers gor content 👌 👍
Read a lot of bad things about these engines online.
Looking around there don't appear to be many of these left on the road..
What are you talking about, there's so many insignia still on the road 😅

Can you help me im från sweden ihave imsignia 16 170hp
What's up with car
ditch the special tools buy some tippex much cheaper
Yes it cheaper
I was thinking of using tippex, so it is possible to do without buying a locking tool ?
@stevelake9333 always the safest way is using the appropriate tools, is my advise
@@eduardopinheiro644 thanks for the response, I've seen a couple of videos today using tippex as markers , yours is the first I've seen using the tool
thank you
You're welcome
👌
Thank you
I can do six of these in ten minutes 👍
Top :-))
@@HOWTODIYwithEddy I also tension the belt correctly aswell 😉...........'Between the lines' 🙄
What a long winded video. Dragged it out a. Little bit!!! No need!!!
