How to Replace the Timing Belt on a Chevrolet Aveo

Model: Chevrolet Aveo MK 1, T200 - Years 2002-2011
Part: Timing belt

Learn how to remove and change the timing belt on a Chevrolet Aveo. Lift the car on a column lift, remove the front wheel and the right wheel arch cover using a screwdriver (this facilitates the removal of the belts). Use a spanner to loosen the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off its seat. Using a socket wrench, unscrew the securing bolt of the tensioner pulley, then remove the water pump as shown in the video. Fit the new water pump (if removed), the tensioner and the belt itself; tighten everything with the socket wrench. Finally, refit the wheel arch cover and the wheel onto the vehicle.
