- Hello everyone! Thanks for tuning in. I know this is a LONG video, but I could not find a video that goes into detail enough for this type of job. We are replacing the timing chain in this 2014 Chevrolet Sonic. These engines are the same for the Chevy Cruze, and others such as the Vauxhall and Opel line up.

Hi I'm in the UK and I was absolutely dreading doing this job on my Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 turbo however after watching the video carefully I cracked on with it and you made what looked like a terrifying job a lot easier to do so for that I thank you greatly.
I also appreciate the time you've taken to help DIY mechanics like myself and others.
Best regards Neil.
That makes me so happy! Proud of you for tackling this job. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for comprehensive detailed information. I am a level 3 Toyota technician with 49 years experience working on many types of vehicles in England UK. So not being very familiar with this particular engine I searched for more information and your video is by far the best and most informative.Good job.
Fantastic video. I'm from the UK with a Vauxhall Corsa with the same engine. I'm not a mechanic and after lots of research and following this video with others I replaced head gasket, all timing components and clean up the valve train at the side of a main road. Works great now.
Thanks for watching! Glad I could help.
I have a question. What way dose the camshafts go if you have to pull the head?
Bravo, could you pls share your opinion and important points that we should heed?
This is a very great video for a common repair on these engines. Overall this repair is very involved, and pretty time intensive and I’m extremely glad I chose to do it rather than haul it in someplace. This definitely isn’t your typical 1hr brake or hub job…I’m about halfway through mine right now as we speak and ready to start assembling everything back together this week. So far everything has been pretty straight forward and easy going so I don’t foresee any issues cranking her back up!
Working at OPEL in Germany. I can tell you from now on we always pull off the oil pan, reason is the timing cover is not guided by the bolt but by the oilpan. The cover will never be in the right place again causing the oil pump to not fit dead center in the middle of the hole down there. Everything back together and either it makes a horrible siren sound right after the job or a few months after. End of the story is a broken pump and cover, happend a few times now. Replacing those and putting the oil pan last is the solution to that problem. What an awful design they did there.
Hey thx for the advice but from what year is this freaking system is on? I have 2013 1,4 turbo benzin meriva, should i also do what you said?
I agree with James Reed. I did all of this myself but the timing tool kit I got had no instructions with it so, as you said, because there was more than one position to install the pulse generator wheel I wasn't certain I had it correct until I saw your vid. Thanks.
Hands down the best tutorial video I ever seen about this issue with the 1.4 turbo cam chain, I think where I live no one will do this work,they just tell you to drive as long as it last and then they replace the whole engine from some dissembled car.😂
Thank you for your kindness!
Thank you for this video you’re the only one I’ve found that shows how to time the cam phasers this is going to save me a lot of work not having to tear the whole engine down again to time the phasers thanks I’m from ohio
Thanks for watching James, and good luck with your repair!
Hi I’m from Kingston upon Hull, England I’ve done loads of these chains even more on the older Engines basically the same engine just modernised I love how simple they are.
I have a 1.8 with a blown head gasket. You took all the questions away. Very thorough. Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching!
I thank you for the indepth video. I just got a 15 buick Encore and didn't realize what it needed. Ended up needing a timing chain etc. Never have I attempted it. So I was glad when I found your video. The orange guide on my car was completely gone. So I am learning alot.
Thank you Sir, you're a life Saver, if it wasn't for this video I wouldn't have done cylinder head gasket job on 2016 Buick Encore 1.6 liter turbo engine. I've followed your guidance all the way through and everything has worked out .
May God bless you for sharing your experience and knowledge for all of us !
Thanks for watching Michael!
Thank you for the time you took to share your knowledge with us, one of the best explained videos I've seen. Great job, greetings from a Bosnian living in Germany
Thanks for watching, Mirza!
Awesome job! I've done dozens of these engines,(Opel brand) that's all i repair, and let me tell you that you did a fantastic job! By the book, literally.
Thanks so much for that OP!
Perfect perfection
By the book is with sump removed. This is risky, if the timing case isn't centered on the Crank, the oil pump can whine and you have to take the whole thing off again. Qq
@@AutoScholarwithMrB Hello, very good job, at what kilometers or miles you recomand to replace the timing chain kit at this tipe of engine gm opel, chevrolt. I have the same engine with 58000 miles with OCI at 4200miles, 70% off miles is in traffic jam city. At what miles do you recomand to replace preventivitly the timing chain kit
@@georgeionescu9666only when you get a rattle noise at cold start. Or when there is a code.
This is a great video! I helped me out tremendously. I am doing the same exact work on my Sonic I did take your advice and did not remove the A/C compressor. I guess my only critique would be to show torque specs for all applications. Thank so much! 👍
I just discovered this vid. You did an awesome job detailing everything about this job. You are very talented young man. Keep doing what your doing. Thnx
Thanks Roger!
Great video. This really helped me out. Only video I could find that REALLY show how to do this. Thanks
Just watched this video. Have the head off of one putting it back on tomorrow. First time doing this job and I feel much more comfortable timing it up now, thank you!
Good luck with the job, and thanks for watching! You can do it!
Yeah man
One of if not the best presentation Iv ever watched
Very thorough and easy to follow
Thank you
From KY
What a wonderful video I don't think you can ask for anything better thank you.
Thanks so much for watching!
An amazing video and way in depth. Thank you for making this! And for linking the tool.
No problem Jacob, thanks for watching!
I am from Scotland. Thanks for your in-depth video. I am going to start the job now. Cheers
Love the video currently rebuilding one of these motors just ordered the tool kit
I am from the u k I am a mechanic. I have done plenty of the older engines. On corsadbut was apprehensive. About the newer engine. But after watching your video which I found very helpful. It is not much different to the old engine very helpful video thank you
Very thorough video. I very much appreciate the effort put into it.
Very informative. I have had issues with my timing cover before and I wish I had seen your video before attempting it the first time.
Thanks for the beautifully detailed video, going to attempt this in the summer!.
Good video. I have done this job on chevy cruze and I found it was always the guides that caused the failure not the chain.
very good helpful video, I'm from the UK and have a Vauxhall astra that has the same engine, I'm a mechanic myself but never done one of these timing chain replacements so found your video very informative.👍
Thanks for watching j!
This is exactly what I needed from a video. Thanks Mr B. Just saved my daughter's car ( broke a sparkplug in the head and need to remove the head to get the faulty plug out). Just bought the tool kit. Thanks again. I will let you know if it works out for me. I also need to put new head bolts THANKS, THANKS, THANKS. New Brunswick Canada.
That’s awesome! Glad I could help and sorry you had this misfortune. It happens to the best of us. Thanks for watching!
This is very very helpful especially about the tone Wheels I bought the tool wasn't paying attention on where the original setup for the tone Wheels were you showed it to me you are the man . And keep it up job well done thank you for the info
Thanks for watching Larry!
You did a terrific job on how to do this. I appreciate it. It wasn’t that bad once I saw you do it.
Glad to be a help, Billy. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Sir for every little details,that could become handy in the future.
Brunel from Mauritius
Thanks for watching!
Awesome job, great video. Love all the detail!
I'm about to buy a 2015 Opel Astra Sports Tourer with this engine, and I'm the one who is gonna service it outside of warranty. Your video made me feel very at ease about working on a timing chain engine. Usually I prefer a timing belt engine because they are not required to remove engine covers like this one, but this does not look very bad to do... Best regards from Portugal!!!
Thanks for watching Andre! Good luck with your purchase.
Excellent video. I just pulled the head off, antifreeze in cylinders 2 and 3. Nice to see exactly how this timing goes back together. I don't think you could have made a better video. The video is right where you need it and great quality along with very informative. Thanks.
just about to do this job on a 2016 Vauxhall Zafira in the UK, engine code B14NET. Excellent video, everything i needed to know, even torque specs to save me looking them up! Im going to pull my sump to fish out the smashed up guides on mine though! great job, thanks!
Thanks for watching my friend!
I am from Scotland , I believe this engine has its origins from Opel of Germany, this presentation was outstanding excellent in every way have done this job myself on Opel Corsa s, the only point that may not clear to a newbie was the detailed setting of the exhaust cam phase unit, the inlet one being locked in position but a view of the exhaust cam for some would have been very informative, but once again well done , huge respect
Thanks for the compliments Iain!
Absolutely the best video for timing on the echo tech I’ve seen
Thanks so much! A lot of work went into it.
I have a question okay on those ton wheels those the little round things has be exciting like in that picture u had meaning the on right side is touching the tool , or as long as the tool fits on there u fine ?
@@deewilliams2607 the tool has to fit on there with no resistance. Sorry for the late reply, I just saw the notification.
Thank you good job first time I seen you on TH-cam I see you have many followers I definitely subscribed right away keep up the good work we need people like you
Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching!
Best video I could find on it. Thanks for taking time to make this. This motor is a pain in the ass.
Thanks for watching Aaron!
Excellent video especially when it it gets setting the timing / cams . Thanks you very much
Thanks so much for watching Bob! Glad I could help.
Thankyou. I'm from Spain . I did this job 3 years ago with an 1.2 ecotech engine, which is quite similar to this one. And i May do this again because i lost some power and hearing noise againg when the engine is cold. I think i used a very cheap new parts. Next time it won't be so.
This is the best video i've seen until now. ..
Thanks for watching Antonio! Good luck with your repair.
Ive been at a loss with a p0017 even after cleaning, swapping, and replacing the actuator along with cleaning the valves. Your last vid on this car was extremely helpful and I can't thank you enough for these videos. Im going to pop the valve cover off now and see if it jumped a tooth. If I end up having to do the timing im debating doing the head gasket too since the car has 120k and from what I've heard its not uncommon for this motor to need a head gasket at some point in its short life. Thanks again
Thanks for the compliment and good luck with the repair!
Thank you for this, I'm about to do some head work on my cruze from my timing chain jumping and actually damaging valves
Oof! Sorry to hear that. Thanks for watching, and good luck with the repair.
Ayyyyy welcome to the club, how many times have you replaced your PCV valves and water pump? 98k miles and I’ve had both go out twice
Great help thanks. I replaced the head gasket on a Opel / vauxhall astra and have cam position sensors codes come up.
I used the locking pins and adjuster tool, but somethings not right, going to strip down and readjust this weekend. Thanks for the thorough guide, this is a big job without having to film it! Cheers mate!
Good luck with your repair Nathan! Thanks for watching.
@@AutoScholarwithMrB quick question, does the position of the cam sprockets matter, or is it only the phase discs that need alignment? I forgot to mark the position of the sockets before I dissembled the head! 🤦🏽♂️
@@JacoProductions just the discs and the cams have to be locked in the rear, hope this helps!
Great video really helped me in the uk on the 1.4 Vauxhall Astra
Thanks for watching! Good luck with your repair!
i am watching from Windhoek in Namibia and I have actually enjoyed and leant a lot as I am actually working on my Opel Corsa
Thanks for watching and good luck with your repair!
One of the best instructional videos I've seen. Very hepful
Thanks for watching!
That crankshaft hold absolutely has to hold all the pressure when u are removing and installing the balancer torque to yield bolt that's it's job actually.
Thanks a lot ,I struggled a lot with my a14net astra ,but watching at the video my car is running pretty well. Thanks a lot.keep doing the gud work. Big up!
Piet, I am so happy you were able to fix this yourself! Thanks for watching!
this was the most helpful video ive watched in regards to the timing chain alignment on this engine. thank you for taking the time to do this
Very helpful video, thank you so much. I am currently rebuilding my daughters engine from scratch from the bottom up after getting it back in a 1000 pieces from a dishonest company who literally stripped the engine to a bare shell, damaging lots of parts as they went. I was unsure about the timing so thanks so much. Great video. 👍
😂
Great video! I need to do a repair on a leaking timing chain cover. When I have to take of the chain I might just replace it as wel. Kind regards, from the Netherlands!
You are very patient and kind man. Your video is very useful excellent and alot of merit.keep up the good work.
Fantastic Job. Very well filmed and narrated. I am about to start replacing a 1.4L eco blown head gasket so as long as i've got so much apart, thought it would be a good idea to proactively replace the chain and water pump. Again really enjoyed your video
Thanks a lot Ernie! Good luck with your repair.
Хорошая инструкция. Однако, в большинстве случаев, стык крышки с масляным поддоном в дальнейшем дает течь. В инструкции не просто так написано, что его необходимо демонтировать и заново проклеить на герметик в области стыковки плиты и блока. За ревизию маслонасоса дополнительный плюс! :) Спасибо.
Thank you for all details amazing so important to know ahead what to do. bless you!
Awesome video and very detailed, just one suggestion. I think it would be satisfying to see the start up after the repair.
Completely understand! Unfortunately the shop was about to be closed so I have to cut things short. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video really helpful love step by step videos you explain it really good am working on a vaxhuall corsa and am watching from UK just outside Glasgow
Awesome, thanks for watching!
@@AutoScholarwithMrB your welcome
From a mechanical background, I understand your explanation very well. I have not work with this type vehicle but very similar to other old timing chain vehicles. I very much like the way you work expressly the the cleaning of old gasket and other part. Well done this help a lot with understanding how to remove and replace new parts also cam settings. Well done 😊😊
Thanks so much!
I have to watch more of your vidieos
Excellent video; by far the most comprehensive and helpful I've been able to find. Thank for taking the time to post. Just finished this job on my daughter's 2015 Sonic. Only one criticism.. I don't think you stated that some water pump bolts are actually holding the timing cover in place. Luckily, I realized this before prying too hard and snapping the cover. Thanks again!!
Glad you finished your repair, and thanks for watching!
thank you for taking the time and all the detail for this video. Awesome.! Liked and subed!
Appreciate the effort here, thank you man..
Your video helps a lot! Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!
This video saved my ass big time. My service instructions on NoData say "remove timing chain then Install new timing chain" no more info....
Glad to help, and thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video can understand how the system
very useful video expained the vvt system very well .. will use it when i change the head gasket on a vauxhall corsa vvt
Good luck with your repair Mike!
Thank you so much, straight to the point .. great video.. you are the Best..
Thanks for watching Jason!
thank u a lot for producing this guide! save me throughtout first ever chain replacement)))
This helped me out a lot. Thank you very much.
Thanks for watching Michael! Always glad to help.
Thankyou so much for making this video and taking the time to properly explain things. I've got one that needs lifters and the timing sprockets have to come out with the cams and there's no way I'm gonna pay a shop the 2k plus that they've quoted me for it when I can do it myself now
Thanks for watching Ethan, and good luck with the repair! :)
@@AutoScholarwithMrB thanks, I'm hoping it goes well. I'll be tackling it this upcoming weekend
very comprehensive video indeed !
Excellent video!
Great video, great job Mr B! I did it myself, it isn't hard. Thank You very much. Greetings from Poland. Vehicle: Opel Zafira C 1.4T ;)
Awesome video! Thanks for your time to shoot that video. GM recommends to remove the oil pan to properly perform that work which is important. But, I noticed you skipped that step. I know why. In order to remove the oil pan you'd need to remove the transfer case as well. It's a lot of work, waste of time. GM could easily do better because it's possible. However, I found a very easy way to remove the oil pan without going through all the unnecessary headaches that GM recommends. There's absolutely no reasons for that. Thanks again!
Thanks for watching! And you are correct, the oil pan removal is not necessary for this repair since it uses a chemical gasket.
Hi... Can you give some details on the easy sump removal system ? we have just taken on a Holden Trax that has filings in the oil filter and I feel dropping the sump is the only way to check for further filings and maybe kerf on the oil pick up strainer. thanks. Tarakai
Thank you best video .explain right .100% thanks I spent 2 hours .tried by my self find this video .5 minutes thanks again
Thanks for watching!
Cheers very informative Tony UK.
Best video yet on 1.4
Thanks for watching Charles!
Thanks for this useful demo. I replaced a faulty timing chain on my Vauxhall Corsa last year and all went perfectly well until i had two fault codes - P0016 and P0017. Oddly the car runs sweet now, no unusual noises and starts strait away every time, but fuel consumption has decreased somewhat although I am aware of that with these fault codes present. I checked everything that has been recommended on numerous websites and chat rooms to remedy this but it now feels like the issue has been caused by the camshaft sensor disks not being aligned correctly when the rebuild was carried out causing the camshaft sensors to send the signal that do not correspond with the crankshaft sensor signal correctly. They're probably only a few degrees out but they are possibly causing the fault. Didn't have the alignment tool at the time so now gonna take the rocker cover off and check to see if they are correct with a new tool i'll be buying soon. Also done some research into VVT controls so will remove the oil control valve and solenoids to check for faults and a good clean out too. Shame the owners manual doesn't include this in the section covering engine strip downs / timing chain renewal. I'll let you know how this goes.
Francine, I have a video on cleaning of the camshaft valves as well. I would imagine the outer part of the camshaft alignment procedure probably needs to be done again. The good news is that is fairly easy to do.
If those phasers aren't aligned properly, they will throw code P0017 (Exhaust Camshaft position not plausible) or P0016 (Intake Camshaft position not plausible).
To help with coolant draining the timing does have torques srew in middle of cover to help drain out coolant if helps anyone
great video , watching from Belgium
Perfect!Good job!
Greetings from Germany
Thanks for watching Don!
Ty this has helped me tremendously! Watched video step by step started right up no problem at all great video saved me a bunch of money

fantastic video.
thank you
Thank you Khalid!
Im From Ireland.
I have one those engines sitting on my engine stand actually removed 2013 opel astra head gasket blown.
Watched your video i gott a few helpful tipps thank you
Greetings from the States! Glad I could help, good luck with the repair
@@AutoScholarwithMrB thank you
On the older Z14 engine the crank shaft pulley had to be tightened BEFORE the cams, the chain pulley on the crankshaft could rotate a few degrees if its not tight! It is also worth doing a full 2 rotations of the crank and re check the camshafts are timed again, this will take up any slack that may be in the chain. I have now done 4 of these on the Z14 all with internal water leaks on the gasket, is the A14 just as prone to this failure?
Brother good knowledge is worth a million bucks God bless
Thanks so much Raul!
good job man... thank you very helpful
