I've replaced the cam belt on mine last month with assistance from your video. Thanks so much for this!

Great video thanks Gary. To the point and not drawn out. South Africans do it right.

This is a welcome change on the chev. I replaced the cam belt on my son's 1.4 corsa utility and to get the belt tension correct, it has to be done with the water pump.

Brilliant Video. You have helped me to save thousands. Please can you do a video on how to replace the fan belt on the Chevrolet utility 1.4 Petrol. It's an absolute nightmare. My one has an Aircon unit.

Easiest way to line up correct replacement of belt to crank and camshaft is to spray some white paint onto toothed pulleys and adjacent plates etc before dismantling. Then put your own marks with permanent marker onto the pulley and cover plate. Check that they match exactly. Remove and replace belt lining up on your marks. No hunting for factory marks punch marks, pins etc. I have done this on many many cars without fail...

Hey Gary, thank for the video. I just like to ask what might happen if the timing tensioner break during driving but timing belt is still okay. What is the chances that it might bend the valves? It is chev aveo 1.5

[itumelengmashilo]

Hi Gary
Do you have to remove the other wheels in order to access the cover that houses the timing belt?
I'm trying remove the cover but there's a stubborn wheel (the crankshaft ring like wheel) doesn't want to come off, please assist

[jkoorts]

The "pointer of the tensioner" (or something like that) was not explained in the video. I could not figure out what you're showing in the video when you twice showed the "pointer of the tensioner". Also how do I turn the engine?
