Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra F - Years 1991-1998
Part: Timing belt

The procedure for replacing the timing belt of the Opel Astra is done by lifting the car with a jack or a lift, so that it is possible to loosen the screws that secure the front wheel to its seat: by loosening these screws, it will be possible to proceed by removing the wheel and the inner lining of its wheel arch. This will give access to the tensioner pulley, which can then be removed from its seat by inserting the new belt: this can be tensioned again by reinstalling the pulley and then checking that the engine turns correctly.

How to Open the Bonnet of the Citroen C3

A seemingly simple task that can be quite puzzling on some models is opening the bonnet, as each vehicle has a specific mechanism for this. In this model, you will find an orange lever at the bottom behind the small glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat.
