Vectra 1.9 CDTi Inlet Manifold and Cambelt Change

[djfuny]

I have a question.

How long does it take to change or clean only the intake manifold (if possible) and if it is very difficult.

Thanks ;)

Hi mate. Can you try and explain to me how the tensioner works? How you tension the belt when you've fitted the new one? The whole pointer thing and how you get it to stay in place? Mine is still in bits and starting to annoy me.....Thanks :)

how long did it take you? looks impressive :) mine needs doing can manifold be done without belt being removed?? thanks

@vanquis75 The whole thing including both jobs was about ten hours, but it wouldn't take me that long if I was to do them again. The belt doesn't need to be removed, as the fuel pump sprocket gets locked in place with a couple of 10mm bolts...

Great video - I have done this exact repair many times as I advertise on Ebay for replacing the inlet manifold but I goto to ask why was the front bumper removed and why didnt you use the 3 painted on white lines to "time-up" the cambelt ?

@RS2000CUSTOM I was planning on trying to figure out why my headlight washers weren't working, plus it gave me better access to drain the coolant. It's only a few extra screws anyway... The timing mark was lined up on the crank shaft at the bottom, but I didn't notice the one mark on the cam sprocket till I'd taken it all apart. It didn't really cause any issues as such, but I'll know for next time. Thanks for watching! :D
