How to replace the timing belt on the Opel Astra?

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra H - Years 2004-2010
Part: Checks and maintenance

To replace the timing belt on the Opel Astra, open the bonnet and access the engine compartment to detach the covers on the side of the engine. This will allow access to the pulleys and the belt itself: to remove it, block all the pulleys and loosen the central bolt of the tensioner. This will reduce the tension on the belt, allowing you to unhook it from the pulleys and replace it with a new part. After the new belt has been fitted, reinstall all the other components.
