    That water pump design reminds me of when vauxhall used to use the water pump as the timing belt tensioner back in the day, you had to spin it round manually to do the tension, pain in the arse, those 3 little Allen bolts holding the pump into the block always used to strip.
    Those 1.8 timing tension bolts are a pain they always strip out because they are way to shallow for the torx to get a proper grip, i used to take an angle grinder to it and shave of the sides down so i could fit a spanner on it, always worked.

    Thanks for a good video. Helped me a lot. Same problem with the tensioner bolt, used a grinder. 2 min extra work, no bigger problem. Over all a good economical engine from GM, 296000km and still kickin good. Greetings from Sweden.

    Nice video , to make it easier to turn over you should take the spark plugs out, also you should turn the engine over at least two times to confirm the marks are still aligned correctly

      Jay West what did you do to the new pulley it looks like a chisel job on that as well . The thread is checked against the stud that came out. I agree with the bolt as the new one was scrunched ouff the packet

  • @NW0106
    @NW0106 8 років тому +2

    Great video, you make it look so easy. I think I'm confident enough to give it a go myself but first I need to buy myself a torque wrench. Keep the videos coming, they really do give people the confidence to try and fix it themselves. Thanks!

  • @antgerada
    @antgerada 8 років тому +17

    Those torx on the tensioner are a right pain.
    I've always just used the Allen head socket on the tensioner mechanism and turned that anti-clockwise and that has loosened the main torx holding bolt. Tip for next time! Saves you breaking out the drill and chisel, especially if the engine is still in the car.

    • @michaelwhyte4069
      @michaelwhyte4069 5 років тому

      Cheers for that having a nightmare with the bolt on an x16xe, Corsa b (bloody tight engine bay) I'll give it a go in the morning before I carry on drilling the bolt. Thank again!

    yina it blows me away mate at some of the stuff you do. I have been a mitsubishi technician for 4 years now and I work with some "professional" techs who wont do anything bigger than servicing because they are scared of a bit graft. where is you have no vehicle qualifications to your name and your pulling engines out, replacing timing chains and seem to know quite a substantial bit about vehicle repair. well done mate. keep it up!

  • @cba360
    @cba360 6 років тому +1

    Did a zlet timing belt other day and tensioner bolt was a pain on that, but I’m sure the tensioners are supposed to be set anti-clockwise rather than clockwise on gm otherwise tensioners fail.
    Also when you put timing belt on gates say to around anticlock wise starting at crank, stops the crank moving which unless it was a dodgy angle the white mark had moved to 5 o’clock on the crank gear

  • @Hdj79
    @Hdj79 8 років тому +7

  • @op-tim_auto
    @op-tim_auto 6 років тому +2

    The easy and smart way is to just move anticlockwise that part that has the Allen key hole in it, just like you do when you adjust the tensioner, the screw wil be engaged and undone by that part with the Allen key hole..

    I've had the joys of doing this job this past week...timing belt tensioner bolt was a bastard to get out - ended up using a hammer and chisel on it and eventually cracked it loose.. the water pump is a different story though, 3 days of constant whacking and wedging for it to budge..with the engine still in the car etc (zafira)..safe to say the water pump came out in several broken pieces

  • @sekopiski

    You did the tensioning procedure completely wrong and that can cause the tensioner to fail. There's even a warning on the workshop manual NOT to do it the way you did.
    Here's how it's done correctly:
    1. turn the tensioner anticlockwise until pointer at far right past "new" bracket. Lightly tighten tensioner bolt.
    2. rotate engine two turns and ensure timing marks aligned.
    3. loosen tensioner bolt and turn tensioner clockwise until pointer at "new'" bracket. Allen key hole should be pointing around 5 o'clock. Tighten bolt to 22 nm.
    4. rotate engine two turns and ensure timing marks aligned. Ensure pointer at "new" bracket.
    5. done.

    The timing belt isn't too difficult to change. When I did mine, I managed without the cam locking tool. I bought my belt from Autovaux which included the tensioner and pulleys. I didn't change the water pump but I'm going to do it at the next timing belt change. Although Vauxhall originally recommended 60,000 miles between belt changes, they should be changed every 40,000 miles. The new belt will be total peace of mind for the new owner.

    Currently busy with Opel/Vauxhall Meriva 1.8 Z18XE petrol timing kit changing. According to your video it's exactly the same engin. Had the same trouble with getting that tensioner bolt out. Allen key broke. So i grined a groove into the bolt head with an angle grinder, took a 5 pound hammer and chizzle, and it came off. Thanks for the torque specs. Now i can finish up the job. Just need a second opinion on the cam markings. They should'nt be exactly in line. Left should be slightly above right according to manufacturer

    probs best to turn the engine over while the cams are exposed, you can confirm then that it is all in time and you can also adjust the tensioner if it has slightly deviated from the "new" notch position which they sometimes do

  • @gl5301
    @gl5301 3 роки тому

    for anyone who watches this video and does the job on their engine, the tensioner bolts almost always round off. Mine rounded when i was tightening it, it never even got to 10nm - the stupid bolt head is just too shallow and soft. I also replaced with a 13mm head bolt, bought from the hardware shp, and its exactly the same length - so buy some beforehand.
    If your tensioner bolt rounds while undoing it, a cone cutter bit on a drill zaps the complete head off in about a minute flat.

    I'm pretty sure you have turned the tensioner the wrong way. you need to turn the tensioner anticlockwise. if you leave it will eventually damage the tensioner then wreck the engine. hope this helps

    • @petertaus63
      @petertaus63 8 років тому +1

      +Dddd Cccc Yes, agree the tensioner needs to be turned anti-clockwise, its even marked on the tensioner itself. He should also rotate the engine twice around to check that timing marks line up. These are big mistakes unfortunately.

    Hi James, I know it's a long time ago but at 17.05 it looks like you have fitted the tensioner and removed it. If you fitted it incorrectly it would be useful in future to show mistakes to aid others. Not moaning you do great video's just may help in future.

    Be carefull that the notch on the tensioner pulley is at the bottom of the hole on the engine block which James does correct here.This will give you the maximum play for the tensioner to move up and tighten. Iv seen a video on u tube where the notch is put in at the top of the hole and he had problems with tensioning the belt.

    Speaking of vauxhalls have you done the corsa c anti roll bar bushes I suspect that's causing some knocking over bumps but there doesn't look a lot of room to work with, from what I see it's a lot of underneath working blind then to the engine bay , I imagine it's fiddley?

    Crankshaft pulley bolt should have been replaced with a new one, any bolt that is angle tightened is torque to yield, and are designed to stretch to obtain the correct loading, these should never be re-used.

  • @zoidberg444
    @zoidberg444 8 років тому

    It was lucky the engine was out for the belt change, getting to that stripped torx would be been a bitch otherwise. There's a V6 ford engine on the US market which actually uses Torx for headbolts. Talk about designed for
    Torx have a habit of stripping even with the proper bit. I always hit those things with an impact first time if i can.

    Nice work, quick question if in the car, is can belt change possible with top engine mount in place or is this a removal job and prop engine up? Cheers
