What are the uses of a belt drive?

A belt drive is an alternative to a chain drive (as you would normally find on a bicycle or motorcycle). There are several types of belt used in belt drive systems including V-belts and toothed belts. The more common is the V-belt. A cross section of the pulley used shows that the belt runs in a V-shaped groove. Washing machines, older cars, and machinery use this type of belt system. The toothed belt is normally wide and flat with teeth on the inside to prevent slippage. Harley Davidson motorcycles use these, as do super-charged engines in cars.

Where are the markings on the timing belt for a vauxhall astra k reg 1.4?

You won't find any marks on the timing belt other than the makers name.If the belt has been off and reused in the past,there may be a arrow drawn on for direction of rotation.The timing marks are visible with the fanbelt pulley and front timing belt cover off.There is pointer on the crankshaft toothed gear which aligns with a mark (at 6 0'clock)on the oil pump housing and a notch in the camshaft gear lines up to a notch in the rear belt cover (12 o'clock).This is the right position for removing/fitting the toothed belt.
