Vauxhall Astra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra F - Years 1991-1998
Part: Timing belt
Operation: How do you replace the timing belt of the Opel Astra?

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.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
