Vauxhall Meriva - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Meriva Meriva B, MK 2 - Years 2010-2017
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How to change the timing chain of the Opel Meriva B

The lengthening of the timing chain with consequent noise and starting difficulty is a fairly common defect in Opel Meriva B equipped with an 81 kw 1.6 cdti engine, so much so that the relative kit has also been modified to prevent you have the same problem again; the greatest difficulty for this intervention is that it is practically necessary to disassemble the entire engine and remove it from its compartment since the timing system has been placed on the gearbox side and there is not enough room for maneuver to carry out this maintenance directly on board car, perhaps because the designers had not taken into account that it would be necessary to replace the timing chain.

How to open the seat of a scooter without the key

If we have to open the saddle on a scooter when we do not have the key, we can find the necessary information and useful information on how to move in the description below and also in the video. The saddle is normally opened by inserting the key in the dashboard and pressing the appropriate control. If we do not have the key available, we can still open it by removing the panel which is placed immediately under the saddle where we rest our feet and intercept the opening cable and then pull it manually. This way the saddle will open.
