Hey mate, thanks for sharing the steps and tips to do this expensive job. I did everything you did, then took off the 3 screws and washers that was holding the coolant pump but it's not moving at all, drained the coolant from radiator, use a crowbar to lift it using all my weight, spanner to spin it, spray with penetrating oil, I used every technique it's still not moving. Is there a lock or anything that holds the pump except the 3 screws? Thanks for the video
No if the pump is glued with silikon and after some time can corrode then it's very difficult to remove it try knocking with hammer while using some bar
Crank pulley bolt is exstreamly tight and needs to be torqued up. Cam shaft pulleys will spring back without locking tool to hold alignment. Engine needs to be turned by hand 2 turns then recheck timing marks. No one would refit covers without doing this. So much left out on video. Very poor.
Hi, why the engine starts in 1500RPM ? I have the same "problem" with the astra g 1.4 16v. If i press the acceleration pedal the RPM are going to normal. Any ideea about that ? Thanks!
Igor Dimoski Ok, but my engine is working very bad when is at 1500RPM on IDLE. Why? This problem is only at the first start, then runs without problems..
Thank you mate, very good video considering how little room you have to do all this in, well done you saved me a lot of headaches
Glad it helped

The same for c16sel engine.
Did exactly what you did and now car won't start, just turns over.
Probably you misaligned the timing

Procedura nu este completă. De ce nu arăți tot ce trebuie sa faci ?
Can you please tell us also the newton meters of the different bolts
Sorry I tighten by hand I only use torque wrench for cylinder head and crankshaft
How do I know how the coolant pump has to be aligned when installed? Are there any special marks to look for?
There are no marks earlier models didn't have tensioner so timing belt was tensions with coolant pump this way you install it like old one

Hi. The screw pulley have the normal screwing sens?
Yes
Was the crank bolt clockwise or anti-clockwise to remove thanks
Anticlockwise to remove
clockwise 2 times
Svaka čast, bravo kralju !!

Avornicesei Gabi when the engine is cold it's normal to work at 1500 and when temperature sensor heats it drops the rpm
Igor Dimoski Ok, but my engine is working very bad when is at 1500RPM on IDLE. Why? This problem is only at the first start, then runs without problems..
I'm not sure maybe fuel pressure is little lower or some injector is sticking
Same as a chevy cruze 1.4?
@@avorniceseigabi4065 there is an idle control valve in the intake manifold...clean it
Did you use a locking tool to remove the idle pulley Igor?
No I didn't use any locking tool
Ok thanks for your video, you saved me around $600. Much appreciated.
@Charley Fig 600aud, that's for a mechanic to do the whole job here.
@Charley Fig 50 euros here in Kosovo
is there a difference for the timing belt kit between z14xe and x14xe? I know the crankshaft is different where it connects to the oil pump
You never turned engine by hand big error
I usually do but I forgot to mention almost on all videos I tell that must be turn 2 rotation clockwise
You make me sick why did u not show removing the tensioner hanz bilter
