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

How do I know how the coolant pump has to be aligned when installed? Are there any special marks to look for?

@mechanicigor 3 жыл бұрын

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

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

Can you please tell us also the newton meters of the different bolts

Was the crank bolt clockwise or anti-clockwise to remove thanks

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!

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..

@mechanicigor 6 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure maybe fuel pressure is little lower or some injector is sticking

Did exactly what you did and now car won't start, just turns over.

Probably you misaligned the timing

You never turned engine by hand big error

@mechanicigor 3 жыл бұрын

I usually do but I forgot to mention almost on all videos I tell that must be turn 2 rotation clockwise

@ianrobinson5057 2 жыл бұрын

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.
