The 800cc engines are NOT non interference engines. I recently bought a matiz with a snapped cambelt. After reading online that it was a safe engine I simply reset the timing and fitted a new cambelt. The car seemed to run fine so I thought I was in the clear. 12 miles later one of the valves snapped and killed the engine, lots! I stripped the engine down after I'd removed it from the car and found that 5 out of 6 valves were bent.
Camshaft will be broken and inlet/outlet valves will be damaged. engin must be rebuilt or replaced.
where is the ECU on Daewoo Matiz 1999
i had the very same problem on my 1999 matiz,it was a broken wire on the fuel injector.(i'd changed the distributor cap,fuel filter,plugs etc before finding out it was this)hope this helps.
it's underneath the handbrake/ gearstick console between front seats.
open the upper timing belt cover the first thing lower to crankshaft is water pump.
51U provided it is the M100 model 1999-2004 i think, they only do one colour of golden/yellow for this age

I see no listing for the Daewoo Matiz. Other Daewoos are all Interferance engines, and as such if the belt breaks severe engine damage will occur. Here are other Daewoo models and the specs in miles for belt replacement. Find your engine and it will be the same. Lanos 1999-02 1.6L 4-Cyl. (DOHC) 60,000 Federal 102,000 Federal Leganza 1999-02 2.2L 4-Cyl. (DOHC) 72,000 Federal 102,000 Federal Nubira 1999-02 2.0L 4-Cyl. (DOHC) 72,000 Federal 102,000 Federal
Daewoo ended in 1999.
Daewoo Express was created in 1999.
