First off, the timing marks as per Haynes Manual are off the wall. Use this method as follows. Turn the camshaft with a spanner until notch on cam lines up with 'notch' on case-located approx at 9.00 o'clock position. Now look at groove on crankshaft, this should be lined up(within an inch) with the 'elbow' or 'apex' on the web casing, located at approx 10.00 oclock. If this mark is out by 360deg then you have to go around again with the spanner on the camshaft until the 2 timing marks nearly line up. Having done this you now have an approx position of the marks!! Next, take out no. 1 cylinder spark plug and pop in a slender screwdriver. Again turn the camshaft an inch or two, forwards and backwards until you get the exact position at which the screwdriver rises and then begins to fall-this is the TDC point(takes a little practise). Next pop out the rubber grommet on the gearbox bellhousing and you will see (use a torch) the flywheel mark lining up with indicator. You can now finely adjust the camshaft until the marks on the flywheel align perfectly. Next job is to remove the high tension electrical gizmo located on the back side of the camshaft. After this is removed you will be able to see the end of the camshaft with a horizontal slot running through it -this slot must be perfectly horizontal with the cylinder head casing-if it is not then your timing is out and you will have to adjust the timing belt on the camshaft accordingly. Best of luck. Fergib

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.
My punto has just reached 70000 miles have been advised my timing belt needs changing is this the case fiat punto sport active 52 reg?
I think if anything it should probably done at 60K miles, which was the case of my Punto and also my current car (although not a Fiat). I would suggest getting it done as soon as you can, if it snaps you can wave bye bye to your engine!
Does it matter if one of the camshaft sprockets are out by a full revolution when setting the timing on a vauxhall tigra x reg 1.4?
