Excellent video.
When replacing the belt be sure to set the timing at the camshafts before you put the new belt on and in place.
it’s a socket cap from a Craftsman set #43303

@ 17:48 you have a special bit that fits into the allen bit, can you tell me where it was purchased?
Excellent video my brother. One question I have an optra 2008 standard and I have a problem since last week. The speedometer went crazy, it goes up and down do 40-60 and then to zero, but walk the car, coming to a stoplight or corner yna the car off, and rip quickly. I’ve taken workshops are large and not the fault, and you change the speedometer sensor and still the same. I can point my brother. Thanks for your very detailed video bundles. Greetings from Mexico City.
I assume you mean timing gun when you say timing flash tube, a timing gun is not required because the computer controls timing of the ignition and is not adjustable as far as I can tell. It’s impossible for me to say what went wrong in your case, I’d guess the person who changed your belt has done something wrong.
Agreed, 5stars man. Excellent Surgery
You are a fucking awesome person! 5 stars!
it is called an allen bit
What you call this bit @ 17:48. I’m looking to buy one but dunno what to look for.
Thanks a bunch.
I just let someone but my belt on and it still won’t crank i have a 2007 Suzuki forenza what went wrong? He said he need a timing flash tube..help please
I don’t know what the timing belt interval is on the Aveo, you can check the owners manual for the specification or ask at a General Motors dealer. Cars generally need the timing belt changed at either 60,000 mi (~96,500 km) or 100,000 mi (161,000 km) intervals.
I am not familiar with the Reno, if it has the same engine the steps may be similar or the same
do this steps working with Suzuki Reno 2008 ?
I got a 2006 Aerio and it needs a water pump. Looking for someone in Los Angeles who knows this car, and has done the job.
HELLO. sorry for my bad English, I have a question when you recommend changing the timing belt on my 2008 pontiac g3 is the same as the Aveo. currently has 52000 km

HOLA. disculpa por mi mal ingles, tengo una pregunta cuando recomiendas cambiarle la banda de tiempo de mi pontiac g3 2008 es el mismo que el aveo. tiene actualmente 52000 km
Good job grjr…I’m working on a 2006 Suzuki Forenza with the same exact engine as the one you’re working on. The timing belt broke at 40,000 miles, bent some valves in the head, and I’m just about to wrap it up. If you ever need some reference for this engine, I’ve got the step-by-step procedure of the whole procedure from start to finish. Thanks grjr!

Crank is turning – I tore the front timming cover off and noticed that part of the water pump pully came apart like a shield for the belt a piece of this shield got caught up and stuck to the timming pulley at the crank knocking the belt out of position throughy the timming off, I guess it damaged the valves because once I put the belt back on properly with all the timming marks lined up I still hav no compression
If you crank the engine with the oil cap removed you should be able to look in and see the camshaft rotating. If the camshaft isn’t rotating then you likely have a broken timing belt
Hi I have a 05 chev optra the belt was changed at around 100 km’s plus and hasn’t been changed since now with the vehicle at 300 000 km’s car died with absolutely no sound what so ever, checked the timing belt it is still intact and appears to still be tight, what are the chances the belt could have jumped because when I crank the engine over it seems like there is no compression.
no problem
every 60,000 miles
Great Great!! Video and step by step explanation; I have a 2005 Forenza S and I just recently spent $1,300.00 for not change the timing belt on time; and search a lot information online and videos for this vehicle and no body has been upload it one video since I have this car until now; so please for now on if you are planning to do any repairs on this same vehicle I really appreciate the time and effort you are taking to do on our own and save money.
Thanks a lot.
HI AT HOW MANY MILES SHOULD I CHANGE MY TIMING BELT ON MY 2007 FORENZA?
Awesome tutorial! Thanks so much for going through the trouble of making this clip! Just did my first belt and pump change and my car is running sweet. That belt is certainly tight to get on as you mentioned. Cheers
When in fast motion, you should have the Benny Hill Show theme song playing.
good video
just did the timing belt on my sisters chevy optra this morning with the same engine. having not done one on that engine before reviewing these vids helped me fly through the job in an hour and a half, i apprecite the upload.
Great video man, I don’t even get all the negative comments?! Thanks for posting, I’ll change my timing belt tomorrow.
Thank you so much for this video. I have a 2000 Daewoo Nubira with the same motor in it, I feel a lot more confident about changing the belt and water pump myself now.
was the car overheating before it started smoking? If you have a coolant leak you need to find where the coolant is leaking from and fix the leak
thanks
sooooooooooooooooooooo boring i fell asleep

Great input , Thank you .
Yea, I think that stuff is to lubricate the o-ring to prevent it from rolling or pinching. I didn’t use anything on the o-ring though
