5. TIMING BELT REMOVAL
NOTE: VSE5006 is supplied with 2 Flywheel Holding Tools. VSE5006-02 is used for Astra-G vehicles. Either VSE5006-02 or VSE5006-06
can be used for Astra-H vehicles depending on access. VSE5006-06 should be used for all other vehicles on the applications list.
NOTE: When Checking Timing and Adjusting Timing on vehicles with XER Variable Valve Timing (VVT) engines both the VSE5006-04
Camshaft Sprocket Locking Tool and the VSE5006-05 Camshaft Setting Plate will be required.

5.7. On the engine variants without VVT camshaft sprockets have timing lines which should be level and exactly opposite each other (g.3)
5.7.1. On the engine variants with VVT (XER) the camshaft sprockets have timing dots. The inlet camshaft sprocket dot should be slightly
higher than horizontal whilst the exhaust camshaft sprocket dot should be at the horizontal position.
5.8. Insert the VSE5006-04 Camshaft Sprocket Locking Tool between the camshaft sprockets, tting the exhaust side rst and then sliding
in the tool into the inlet side. The horizontal marking across the middle of the Camshaft Sprocket Locking Tool will give a
more accurate indication of the position of the timing lines or dots on the camshaft sprockets. (g.4)
5.9. Insert the ywheel holding tool depending on the type of vehicle into which the engine is tted (see note above).
5.10. When tting the VSE5006-06 Flywheel Holding Tool it must be bolted in place (g.5). It slides in between the engine block and
sump faces. Remove the nut, slide in the tool so that it locks into the ywheel ring gear and hold in place with the nut.
5.10.1. If using the VSE5006-02 Flywheel Holding Tool; remove the protective cap, insert the tool so that it locks into the ywheel ring gear
and bolt into place .
5.11. Once the Flywheel Holding Tool is securely in place, remove the torsion vibration damper which is secured with one bolt.
5.12. Remove the lower section of the timing belt protective cover.
5.13. The engine position can be checked via the timing mark on the crankshaft gear aligning with the mark on the housing (g.6).
5.14. Using a hex key on the timing belt tensioner, relieve the tension from the timing belt and lock the timing belt tensioner in place with the
VSE5006-03 Timing Belt Tensioner Locking Pin (g.7).
5.15. Remove the timing belt.
6. TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT
NOTE: When tting the new timing belt use the protective sleeve supplied with the belt to avoid damage to the timing belt when threading it
through the engine mounting support. Remove the protective sleeve before tting the belt over the sprockets.
NOTE: When re-using a timing belt, ensure the previous direction of rotation is observed.
6.1. When tting the timing belt use the following sequence: start on the intake camshaft sprocket, then over the exhaust camshaft
sprocket, round the tensionless pulley and nally over the crankshaft sprocket.
6.2. Using a hex key, take sucient pressure from the timing belt tensioner to remove the timing belt tensioner locking pin. Remove the
timing belt tensioner locking pin and slowly release the tensioner so that it tensions the timing belt.
6.3. Fit the lower timing belt protective cover.
6.4. Re-install the torsional vibration damper ensuring the timing marks align. Use a NEW bolt and tighten to 95Nm + 30° + 15°.
6.5. Remove the ywheel locking tool and remove the camshaft sprocket locking tool.
6.6. Rotate the engine in the direction of rotation for 2 full cycles and return to TDC No.1 cylinder.
6.7. Check the position of the timing indicators on the camshaft sprockets and t the Camshaft Sprocket Locking Tool to conrm that
the engine timing is correct. Check that the mark on the torsional vibration damper aligns with the timing mark on the lower timing
belt protective cover.
6.8. Re-t the auxiliary drive belt tensioner, and install the auxiliary belt. Using a suitable spanner apply tension to the tensioner to
remove the pin and gently release the tensioner to apply tension to the auxiliary belt.
6.9. Re-t the upper section of the timing belt protective cover and re-t the air lter housing.
6.10. Reconnect the vehicle battery.

7. CHECK ENGINE TIMING
7.1. NON VVT ENGINES
7.1.1. Set the engine to TDC No.1 cylinder. Insert the VSE5006-04 Camshaft Sprocket Locking Tool.
7.1.2. Check that the timing lines correspond with the line on the Camshaft Sprocket Locking Tool and the mark on the crankshaft sprocket is
opposite the marker on the housing. If the marks are not aligned then it will be necessary to adjust the timing.
7.2. VVT (XER) ENGINES
7.2.1. The procedure is similar to that of the non VVT engines, but the VVT engines have dots instead of lines as described earlier (section
5.7.1.) which do not line up exactly with the centre line on the VSE5006-04 Camshaft Sprocket Locking Tool.
7.2.2. Remove the cylinder head cover and insert the VSE5006-05 Camshaft Setting Plate into the slots at the rear of the camshafts (g.8)
to see if the camshafts are aligned correctly. Check that the timing dots are aligned and the mark on the crankshaft sprocket is
opposite the marker on the housing (g.9).
7.2.3. If the timing dots are not correctly aligned, the Camshaft Setting Plate cannot be inserted or the mark on the crankshaft sprocket is
misaligned then it will be necessary to adjust the timing.
8. ADJUST ENGINE TIMING
8.1. NON VVT ENGINES
8.1.1. Timing adjustment is achieved by removing the timing belt, correctly aligning the crankshaft sprocket and the camshaft sprockets and
re-tting the timing belt.
8.1.2. Remove the timing belt as described in section 5.
8.1.3. If the camshaft sprockets are misaligned, adjust so that the timing marks are directly opposite. Use the centre line on the VSE5006-04
camshaft Sprocket Locking Tool to check the alignment (g.10) and check that the mark on the crankshaft sprocket is aligned with the
marker on the housing (g.11).
NOTE: The ywheel holding tool will have to be removed before rotating the crankshaft sprocket.
8.1.4. Once all timing marks are correctly aligned, t the ywheel locking tool and re-t the timing belt as described in section 6.
8.1.5. Remove Camshaft Sprocket Holding Tool and Flywheel Holding Tool.
8.1.6. Rotate the engine in the direction of rotation for 2 full cycles and return to TDC No.1 cylinder.
8.1.7. Check the position of the timing marks on the camshaft sprockets and t the Camshaft Sprockets Locking Tool to conrm that the
engine timing is correct.
8.1.8. Remove Camshaft Sprockets Locking Tool, remove Flywheel Locking Tool and re-t components as described in section 6.
8.2. VVT (XER) Engines
NOTE: The ignition module will need to be removed from the top of the engine to allow access to the camshafts.
8.2.1. Remove the timing belt as described in section 5.
8.2.2. Remove the cylinder head cover and adjust the position of the cams so that the VSE5006-05 Camshaft Setting Plate can be inserted
into the slots at the rear of the camshafts. Check that the timing dots on the camshaft sprockets are in the correct position (g.11).
8.2.3. Check that the mark on the crankshaft sprocket aligns with the marker on the housing (g.9) If the position of the crankshaft needs to
be adjusted in will be necessary to remove the Flywheel Holding Tool.
8.2.4. Once all timing marks are correctly aligned, re-t the Flywheel Holding Too and re-t the timing belt as described in section 6.
8.2.5. Remove Camshaft Sprocket Holding Tool and Flywheel Holding Tool.
8.2.6. Rotate the engine in the direction of rotation for 2 full cycles and return to TDC No.1 cylinder.
8.2.7. Check the position of the timing dots on the camshaft sprockets and t the Camshaft Sprockets Locking Tool and the VSE5006-05
Camshaft Setting Plate to conrm that the engine timing is correct.
8.2.8. Remove camshaft sprockets locking tool and the camshaft setting plate, and re-t components as described in section 6.
