@@bovis31 I have just bought two front brake discs and a set of pads from Autodoc 76€ for a Citroen C1 including postage. I live in France ,ordered online Monday night delivered Friday morning, all Ferodo parts.
This is one of the best video guides I have seen, the explanations, descriptions and camera clarity were absolutely brilliant - well done and thank you for sharing this process.
Thanks for the feedback , much appreciated 😁👍
I fully agree. Just changed the belt following this guide. Made my job much easier and quicker, great guide video!
I was struggling to tension the belt, watched this video and all became clear. Excellent video 👍
Great to hear! Thanks for the comment
I've checked out all the timing belt/water pump videos on UA-cam and this is by far the best. The water pump had gone on my 06 1.9 150 Vectra and I was thinking about scrapping it, but I bought the Gates kit and in the few days after Christmas, on the driveway between the torrential rain, I completed the job. Have never done a timing belt before but your video made the job simple. You explained everything well, showed things in detail and took your time. Many thanks for saving my car (I've had it from new)
Great to hear! Thanks for the comment ! 👍👍
Thank you! Today I replaced the timing belt kit relying on your guidance. All works perfectly!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the comment
I’m a female, Astra currently getting a new belt and found this video so interesting and superbly delivered! 🚗🤩
Glad you enjoyed it!
Doing this job tomorrow. I've watched a few you tube vids to prepare myself and this one is by far the best.
Awesome! Thanks for the comments, much appreciated 👍👌
Thank you so much for your video, was very well explained. Only little drama was getting tension set up but got there in the end. Vauxhall quoted £800 for a cam belt change, with your spares link saved £600. Cheers
Best tutorial for cambelt change i have seen ,great clear camera video and well explained .Brilliant
Glad you enjoyed it!👍👍
Top marks to DiIYDALY for an excellent video.I followed it to the letter to do an Astra GTC 2.0 CDi SRI. Thank you.
Many many years on youtube but this is probably first time I comment on a video. Well done mate and thank you very much, it couldn't be better and clearer. You've got another subscriber.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the comment ! Much appreciated 😁 makes it all worth while!
Brilliant step by step video, I'm now confident that I can change my own belt. Thank you for posting
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment 👍👌
Nice video mate. Really clear. I did my belt about 2 years ago now. Wish I'd had your video then. Managed to do it but the new water pump cracked after i put it all back together!
Thanks for the comment , glad it will help people 👍 arr Bugga that was unlucky
I watched number of tutorials but yours is the most comprehensive out there.... Super easy step by step. Thank you
You're very welcome! nice to hear your feedback 😃👍
I'm going to proceed with this job soon and have a quick question. What if one of the wheels eg crankshaft looses alignment? Can you adjust it independently to match the groove or more complicated procedure is required. Thanks in advance
@@slavg3606 you can just adjust it as required mate 👍
Excellent video. Going to be doing mine on my next weekend off work. Thanks for the help!
Glad it helped 👍👍
Excellent tutorial, watched it several times, along with others but this is by far the best, did mine today, took 6 hours, had a bitch of a job getting the belt back on, just didn't seam to be enough slack, took almost an hour of trying but got it in the end, and the belt tensioner was a pig too, definitely a 2 man job, ( had to rope wifey in) i couldn't see it enough from above to get the pin to lever against.
Anyway thanks again for an outstanding vid, i would never have done it without seeing how doable it was from you
Nice one glad you got it sorted 👍
By far the best video I have seen on this process - really, really useful and clear, thanks bud.
Glad it helped, thanks for the comments, much appreciated 👍👍
This is the best explainer video about this job that I have seen on youtube, thank you and congratulation!
You're very welcome! thanks for the comment
This was the only video, that really explains the tension system. Thank you 👌
Glad it will help 👍 thanks
Very helpful. did mine yesterday. watched this twice and made 2 pages of A4 notes before heading to the drive with tools and timing belt kit. Funnily enough, I made the same mistake by not realising there were two different Aux belt options and have the longer 1900mm one now going on ebay ! This was so good guidance - all the bolt head sizes perfect and the tensioner explanation saved so much head scratching. Thanks for uploading this.
Thanks for the comment, glad it helped 👍👍
Thanks for the comment, glad it helped 👍👍
Finally got round to doing mine today and thanks to your video i had the confidence to do it myself . Thankyou so much. Top bloke
Nice one , glad to hear it! 👍👌🙌
by far the best explanation and tutorial I have found, made me feel confident in doing my own and save myself some dosh, cheers.
Glad it will help! thanks for the comment 👍
Dude you are really good at explanation,thank you so much ,the best ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment 😃
Changed the cam belt today on my 2013 Astra, great vid thank you. The only thing I would warn against is being prepared for the cam to turn.
thanks for the comment! yeah they can spring out of place
@@tobiascat6173this is an interesting idea! I can’t picture it though. So do you slide the new belt under the old one before snipping it off?
Absolutely brilliant video, top class walk through. Thank you so much and for all the links swell Top Man.🙂

Just want to say thanks for making the video a massive help and well made.
Very welcome! 👍👍
What a video this is,
Never done this before and although I am mechanically minded it still dawned on me coz it is biggest and first diesel engine but I watched this video only twice the night before and then just went and did it,
Very thorough mate thank you very much saved me alot of £££
Nice one, always nice to hear positive feedback 👍👍
Wow mate really spot on video nicely explained, doing this job this weekend have watched other vids and thought they were good but yours blows them out the water like, none of the others explain setting the timing marks but you do, wish I never bought the timing lock kit now but hey I’ve got it now lol, subbed 👍
Nice one , thanks for the comments .. much appreciated 😁 always nice to hear some positive feedback . Glad to help 👍
how did it turn out for you & how long did it take to complete? Thanks
As already stated this is one of the best videos on this. Although I would just like to add that the camshaft on the Mk1 models (the A20DTH engine) will 'flip' a few degrees out of position when the old belt is removed, but this is not a disaster - & although special locating tools are advised the camshaft can be held back into position using a 20mm socket & T bar. The cam belt tensioner did take a few attempts to 'set' to the correct position - mainly due to the limited access. Lastly the upper and lower idlers mentioned in the video: the upper one is for the cam belt (50NM) the lower one is on the outside for the auxiliary drive/alternator belt (20NM). Not a bad job to do - & taking my time it took around 7 hours.
👍👍👌 thanks for the comments, much appreciated
The camshaft moved out of position compared to my markings. When moving the camshaft to line up it keeps springing out of position. How do i solve this problem?
@@matthewlloyd7332 Hi Matthew. I did cover this - but just to add, if the camshaft drive needs holding in position, I found holding it 'in line' with a 20mm socket on the T bar did the trick. Although this can be awkward on your own so another pair of hands would definitely help while fitting the cambelt. The crankshaft & fuel pump drive should not move or be an issue. When the cambelt is fitted rotate the crank at least twice to ensure everything is still in line with your original markings - & for the tensioner to settle. Anyway I hope this clears things up - & good luck.
Great detailed video 👏🏻👏🏻
Tipex timing markings, in my motor trade days, I made the mistake of spraying brake spray to clean up the job… dissolved my timing marking ☹️☹️
haha ive done similar before! 😂 thanks for the comment! much appreciated 😃
Excellent video. I may do my cambelt myself now! (Assuming the Astra GTC 2.0 CDTI is the same).
Thanks for the comment! Yes it’s the same mate 👍
Great video. Just subscribed. I’ve just brought an Insignia estate, and I’m handy with spanner’s, so I will do the belt when it’s due. Saves me garage costs.
Thanks for the sub!
Thank you for sharing this amazing video created. It is very well explained and clear!
Thank you

Great video mate, i have my belt to do tomorrow and this is by far the BEST and EASIEST tutorial to follow. Another video you could make, as i havent been able to a video on it yet, it the Location and removal of the 2.0 CDTI Crankshaft Position Sensor. But thatnk you for the video, you have a new subscriber 👍
Awesome, thank you! I’ll keep that in mind if I get chance to do one mate 👍👍
@@diydaly thanks for taking the time to reply mate
@@GraveCareMaintenanceServices 👍
This video is good only if the easiest job to be done - remowing old belt and installing new. Now somebody explain, how to install new belt if old belt was broken while driwing? Presumably all the damage is fixed, so just the installing belt part.
Very nice clear how to video. 5/5 stars
Thank you kindly!👍
Thankyou for this video. Absolutely fantastic
👍👍
Must agree, very good detailed video with lots of information and guidance 11/10 - keep up the great work kudos2U
Much appreciated!
Brilliant video

@@diydaly I used your instructions today to change the timing belt and water pump on my 2012 Zafira Tourer - using the same Gates kit - and so saved myself about £400 in dealer labour charges. Thanks again! 🙂
@@ColinBarrett001 nice one ! Glad to hear it 👍👍
Good video.. clear and informative
Thanks mate , your comments much appreciated as a small YT channel! 👌👍😁
Very nice bro well done good the way you did timing belt
Thanks mate! Comment Much appreciated 😁👍
Fantastic video. Great help! Thanks a lot for taking the time to put this together.
Having had a go at my Astra J 2.0CDTI, I found I had not noticed the typical pulley/sprocket bolts. I thought they were Allen but NO, its a RIBE version. If I only paid attention. So had to put everything back together...🤨
Managed to find the RIBE bits, but am wondering what size the bolts are. Maybe good to know for the next DIY mechanic...
8 mm I just found out.
There is also an interesting part on the the engine mount which attaches to the engine. The top left bolt goes through a hollow shaft which can extend. It seems it is meant for some sort of adjustment, altough I am not sure. I put the mount back to the engine putting all the other bolts back in, leaving the top left for last. Subsequently I extended the shaft in the top left bolt position out (turning right) till it touches the engine. After that I put the bolt back in.
But the timing belt is on, the waterpump in and the aux belt done. Thanks again!
Arr nice one , glad you got it all sorted mate 👍👍 not a bad job really , I know what you mean about the engine mount 👍
Brilliant video. Thanks a lot just done my belt. Only thing I'd say is I wish I'd used a cam locking tool. The thing kept springing put of position. In the end I managed with a G clamp 😂
🤣👍👍
Thanks a lot! That tensioner ir tricky part!
👌👍 thanks for the comment
Very informative thank you😁
You’re welcome 👍
Brilliant demonstration. However I do have one question regarding the tensioner. I've heard some say that the arrow should line up in the centre of the slider but you've mentioned that the arrow go farther and should line up with the small circular cut out. Could you please clarify which is correct... tx
Thanks , The circle is the marker 👍
As a heads up the crankshaft marks mean nowt in the a20dth engine you need the cam locking took and the crankshaft alignment tool. As an example my current job on the insignia the cam shat marks are 90 degrees and locked into tdc while the crankshaft is 270 degrees I often think the marks on the insignia are there to mess us up
what a great video very helpfull
Glad to help , thanks for the comment!
Top job mate, 👏
Thanks 👍
Very good, best I've seen
👍👍 thanks for the comment
Brilliant video 👌🏻
Thank you! 👍
Quite easily the best explained video there is !, is there no need to put any bolts/pins/drill bits in or are your new marks sufficient .
Thanks! 👍👍 yeah you can just paint mark em mate 👌
Very helpful excellent video 😁
Glad it was helpful! thanks for the comment 😃👌👍
Brilliant, thank you
Unbelievable mate 👏 👍 👌 🙌
Thanks 👍
Very good detailed video 👌👌
Thanks Dean , comments / feedback much appreciated 👍👍
Excellent detail.
Thanks!
Does crank timing mark not have to be at 9 o'clock great video 👍👀
Thank you for this video, succesfully changed my belt this morning. Just one thing - after lining it up and marking the timing, I removed the belt. Upon removing the belt the cam pully spun round, so it was almost as though the location of the markings put it right at the top (or bottom?) of its stroke, meaning that it was quite tricky to hold it where it needed to be to keep the timing whilst installing the new belt. Aside from using a locking tool/kit, is there anything I could've done differently to stop this from happening?
Not really it must just be the spot that you marked it on, I know exactly what you mean , it can make it abit awkward when fitting the belt and trying to hold the cam at the same time!ha
@@diydaly Thank you, puts my mind at ease knowing I didn't miss anything. Yeah definitely needed a second pair of hands!

@@simonmackie8258 lol yeah was abit tricky , think I dropped the camera once 🙈 thanks for the sub 👍😁
@@diydaly hi there, so I’ve done timing belts before on older Vauxhalls and I have an insignia, 2014 A20DTE like yr vid, I’ve stripped mine down and about to take belt off and my timing marks don’t align up no matter how many times I rotate the crank. Any thoughts?
@@simonmackie8258 do the crank and cam line up just not the fuel pump?
Truly appreciate the video man, good job!
I have one question though, I’ve read online that it is recommended to replace the crankshaft pulley on these engines as they are prone to break and then the crankshaft spins freely and potentially killing the engine. Could you give any input on this please? A friend has the A20DTE engine that I was planning on changing the timing belt on.👍🏼
They are fairly common but I never replace them part and parcel of doing the cambelt
Nice video! Have you ever come across one of these jumping 2 teeth on the timing? It's happened to me twice now and the belt has been tensioned correctly and still has correct tension when it skips. Mine is the biturbo which has a smaller fuel pump pulley and an additional small guide pulley up the top which is the upper and lower pulley you mentioned
Tbh I can’t say I have really mate , had issues with the tensioners in the early days and with cheap brands but never had an issue with using gates kits
Nice work boss😎
Thanks mate 😁👍
Brilliant Video !
Any chance of doing one for a vacuum pump replacement on same engine please
Yeah will do if the chance comes up 👍
Great video...👍
Thank you 👍
Great job
Thanks mate 👍👌
Great vid mate gave me full confidence to change mine jusy a question would it be worth pitting thread lock on the idler pully bolt or does it not matter 👍
Thanks for the comment , much appreciated 👍 you could out a little on but tbh if you are torquing it up correctly it wont need any thread lock 👍
@@diydaly 👍
great video happy to tackle myself now, do you not need the locking screws? obviously not watching your fab video
Thanks richard! Comments much appreciated .. these can easily be done without the locking tools 👍
Thanks
Welcome! Thankyou very much! Much appreciated 👍😁😁
I followed the instructions to the t , and when I removed the belt after relaesing the tensioner, the camshaft sprung around a bit on it's own, and came off it's mark by about ten teeth, is it possible I could have damaged my valves or piston, I was not expecting it to just spin back like that, shall I just line it up and put the belt on?
Yeah that’s not a problem mate , it won’t have damaged anything.. just turn it back into position .. you might need to hold it there while fitting the belt
@diydaily That's brilliant mate, thank you so much, the video is so well made, I really appreciate it and would not have tackled thi sjob otherwise. All the best Barry
