To set the timing on a 1997 Opel Astra 160IE, first ensure that the engine is at TDC (top dead center) on the compression stroke of cylinder one. Remove the timing belt cover and check the alignment of the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys. Adjust the timing belt tension as needed and recheck the alignment before reassembling everything. Finally, start the engine and check for smooth operation, making any necessary adjustments.

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.

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.
