Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Timing belt

Today's main steps will show us how to disassemble and replace the timing chain of the Opel Astra 1.4. First, we open the hood of the car and start disassembling and removing the cylinder head cover, accessing the top part of the timing system; we remove the air filter box and the side distribution cover, lifting the car and disassembling all the components to access it, as shown in the video. At this point, we take the necessary references for the replacement of the chain, installing the new original one and also replacing the water pump kit.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
