Video tutorial

Watch this video for the removal of the timing belt on an Opel Insignia. Lift the car on a column lift (remove the front wheel using a screwdriver to take off the right wheel arch liner).

Remove the timing belt cover, then use a spanner to loosen the tensioner pulley and slide the belt off its seat. Use a socket to unscrew the tensioner pulley bolt, then remove the water pump as shown in the video.

Fit the new water pump (if removed), the tensioner, and the belt itself, tightening everything with the socket. Refit the rivets along with the wheel arch liner and reattach the wheel with the tyre to the vehicle.
