To set the timing on a 160IE Opel Astra without touching the timing belt, first, ensure the engine is at TDC (top dead center) for the first cylinder. Then, align the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover. Use a timing light to check the ignition timing by connecting it to the number one spark plug wire and adjusting the distributor as needed to achieve the correct timing specification indicated in the service manual. Finally, double-check all connections and secure the distributor once the timing is set.

Timing belt changing is not part of routine maintenance for a vehicle, including an Astra GSI Turbo. A timing belt is to be left alone unless a problem arises with the timing in the engine.
If the timing belt on a 1.6 Astra breaks, it can damage the engine. It is more likely to damage the engine if it is a timing chain, though. A timing chain is made of metal and a timing belt is made of a heavy duty rubber.
