To set the cam timing on an Opel Astra 180i, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Align the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets according to the manufacturer's specifications. Once aligned, secure the camshaft in place, and double-check the timing before reassembling the timing belt or chain. Always consult the service manual for specific torque settings and additional procedures.
To set the cam timing on a 1996 Opel Astra, first, ensure that the engine is at TDC (Top Dead Center) on the compression stroke of cylinder one. Align the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley with the timing cover, then position the camshaft sprocket marks so that they line up with the marks on the cylinder head. For the camshaft, the marks should typically be at the 12 o'clock position. Finally, double-check all alignments before tightening the timing belt or chain.
Blocked cat convertor or cam sensor. If it is the cam sensor the orange engine light should be on. If there is no engine light on its probably the cat convertor.

The cam belt on an Opel Astra G should typically be changed every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, or every 5 to 7 years, depending on the specific engine type and manufacturer's recommendations. It's essential to consult the vehicle's owner manual for precise intervals, as factors like driving conditions can also affect belt longevity. Regular inspections are advisable to catch any signs of wear before they lead to failure.
i have replaced the cylinder head and new head gasket, and need to fit the cam belt, but need to know the timng marks for both crank and cam , thank you
Oh, dude, setting camshaft timing on an Opel Corsa 16-valve twin cam 1.7dti is like a walk in the park... if that park is filled with confusing diagrams and tiny tools. You basically need to align the timing marks on the camshaft sprockets with the marks on the cylinder head. Just make sure everything lines up perfectly, or your engine might sound like a dying walrus. Good luck!
The cam timing on a 4.6 SOHC engine is set by aligning the timing marks of the timing chain to the cam sprocket. This sets the initial timing based on factory settings.
There is no way to lock the crank on this engine. If you are replacing the timing belt, a special tool is available to lock the cams in position
Yes, when removing the gearbox on a Vauxhall Astra H model, it is generally necessary to remove the cam belt. This is because the gearbox is located near the engine, and accessing it often requires displacing components that are connected to the cam belt. Always refer to the vehicle's service manual for specific procedures and ensure proper timing alignment when reassembling.
To change the cam belt on a 1996 Opel Kadett 1600 GSE, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Remove the timing belt covers and align the crankshaft and camshaft to their timing marks. Release tension from the old belt, remove it, and install the new belt, ensuring proper tension before reassembling the covers. The firing order for the Kadett 1600 GSE is 1-3-4-2.
Timing chains and timing belts are used to turn the cam shaft. The term timing chain or belt is a misnomer. They are really just a cam chain or cam belt.
