chevy aveo timing belt part 2

Doing the timing belt on the Chevy Aveo is not so bad worst part is how Chevy decided to put a cover in front of the water pump to make it difficult. But this video will guide you through the timing belt replacement.

[@dansutton7748]

so, i love how you avoided exactly how to deal with the tensioner, as its the hardest part

[@freedomlibertyspirit9782]

preciate the pointer on the tensioner points lining up, that was a big help. thanks that was a great video

[@chrisco747]

Excellent video Cody! Thank you!

[@xplore7359]

That moment when you don't tighten an engine mount bolt tight enough it works loose and drops into the belt going down the highway -.- Also the correct way to set the belt tension is by first aligning the point on the tensioner with the further most notch on the back plate. Rotate the engine twice then relieve tension till both points line up.

[@reynierramos8381]

Nice video as always, thank you for taking the time and effort to share your knowledge with us, And reason I say this is because we all know that knowledge is not free, it cost and have a price. Thank you Cody keep it up god bless.

[@BJ-jl8ri]

Thank you Cody!

[@rorywynhoff1549]

Thank you for sharing this! A great help.

[@getsomebrownies]

The back timing cover doesn't need to be removed nor do the cam sprockets. The back timing cover can be bent upwards enough that you can remove and install the water pump without having to remove the cam sprockets or back cover. And you're suppose to evenly distribute the tension on the belt by running the mark on the tensioner to "C" then turn the crank twice to align the timing, then run the tensioner back to "B" and again, crank engine twice to align timing.

Very helpful video ! thanks from Australia (Holden Barina down here lol)

[@douglaskay9959]

The timing belt broke on my 2007 Aveo and the valves were bent and pistons marked where the valves hit. I bought a new set of valves and ground them in then compressed the springs with clamp and a home made device from a piece of galvanised pipe. I bought the new belt along with a water pump and other stuff. I had to make the special tool to turn the water pump because I couldn't buy one. The job is not easy, you have to take your time and get it right but when it was done the engine runs like a sewing machine.

[@daniellaboriel6100]

Magnificent explanation 🙂

[@robertmorales496]

great video thanks really helpful :)

[@user-vx4vf5dp6q]

nice work thank you

[@tassietony1226]

thank you for sharing your knowledge with us great I think I can do mine now

[@abrahamwashington8579]

How did this go? I changed mine about 4 days ago and put every thing back it ran for 5 mins and shut off. Currently still working on fixing it. The intake is blowing and exhaust is sucking

[@nomvete]

@@abrahamwashington8579 Hi, if i may ask, can the engine start if you miss the timing marks

[@abrahamwashington8579]

@@nomvete I heard if its off a tooth or 2 if should not be a problem but CHECK THE PIN ON THE CAM GEAR. IT POPPED OUT ON MINE AMD BENT MY VALVES

[@abrahamwashington8579]

@@nomvete changed water pump and put it together. Trying to start it for 2 days. Finally we get it to start for the timing belt to come flying off. Bent 4 valves. The small pin on camshaft gear was the culprit. Blew my motor up for a 3 min fix

[@nomvete]

@@abrahamwashington8579 thanks mate, its a Chevy Aveo, i reconditioned the head, now it has a rough idling and compression reduced to 40%

[@madeinjapan3485]

Do the camshaft sprockets intake and exhaust need to be held by a tool when you loosen the bolts? I have the Daewoo/lacetti Chevrolet, it looks identical the engine would this be the same process for removing and timing up the belt?

[@Monkeyman-nf4hv]

My daughter heard a very slight band and then she said it sounded like all the air was being let out of her tire. Within a block she was able to get off the road and park the car. It turned out to be antifreeze that had sprayed around the passenger tire and had left a trail but not around the radiator itself (left a trail for a short period but then the trail stopped, yet her reservoir isnt empty). Would a bad water pump cause this? I didnt see any disconnected hoses and the engine oil didn't look like it had water mixed in it. Any advise would be Great!!!

[@tommyluna9024]

I have a 04 aveo and I replaced the lifters. When I put my camshafts back in I’m not sure if I put the correct camshaft in the correct spot. One camshaft says 1 / 2 and the other camshaft says 2. Does the 1 / 2 camshaft go towards the front or back of the vehicle? Thank you

[@erichards8383]

good video have just one question. Was the water pump being changed because it was bad or just being changed do to having the area open and exposed,to keep from future replacement

[@sierraloo2126]

I had to bump start engine to get harmonic balancer bolt off, once the pulley was off, I reinstalled the bolt, but could only manually turn crankshaft so far, before it got stuck. Any way to get the crankshaft unstuck so I can manually turn engine and line up the timing marks?

[@virginiomorales]

You are good , loos easy bro thanks

[@romanstar7550]

great vid

[@pochetron2]

Thanks for the info ! Is it possible to change the belt without the need of a new water pump ?

[@moarts3733]

thanks alot it worked

[@magallaneroyo]

Hi, I have a Optra 2010, and the Timing Belt has broken twice, I think that the problem is in the Timing Belt Tensioner USED or NEW position. I hear a noise around the timimg belt and the mechanical checked the timing belt area, he saw that the Timing Belt Tensioner position was in USED, he change the position to NEW and the noise gone, but one month later the belt got broken. I would like to know how Timing Belt Tensioner has to be configure. Can you help me please?

[@marcmunoz8748]

Hey @cody the car guy do you by chance know what the torque specs are for the cam sprocket bolts are?

[@patriciahackney641]

does the water pump determine the tension? my mechanic said the kit i ordered, the tensioner was too loose.

[@FullUhFools]

Good to do water pump and timing belt because they're all in the area and preventative maintanence parts at 100K. Supposed to be anyhow. Until one breaks at 170K you'd see why its preventative.

[@AnthonyOrsan_revveduprider]

on Aveos, Chevy recommends every 60k replacement for the timing belt. but like you said, when you do the belt, its always a good idea to get the water pump and component kit. saves headache later

[@nomvete]

Hi, if i may ask, can the engine start if you miss the timing Marks

[@miguelsalas88]

Hi, why u didnt replace the camshaft and crankshaft seals?

[@thelowmein9143]

You've got to take the motor mount off to replace a water pump, holy crap. Cars sure have changed since my 80s era caprice classic lol.

[@nikrbawker]

Not as hard as it sounds. Everything is up front FWD simple motor mount. There's still 2-3 more mounts holding it in. Actually super easy to get to compared to RWD mounts.

[@purpledoge4466]

How much would this be if a shop does the timing belt,waterpump and all the seals?

[@sabahameer2620]

My chevy aveo crank but won't start after I changed the belt , I had pulley issue while I was driving the belt snapped out while I was driving due to the broken pulley , I changed every thing like in the video marks aligned. But it crank and won't start

[@jboy784]

About How Long Did It Take To Do This? If U Don't Mind Me Asking. I have The same vehicle and have to get my timing belt replaced. I know the main cost depends on the labor.

[@shawnhooper233]

How can u tell if the pistons cracked the heads when the timing belt brakes ?

[@rando889]

this is similar to daewoo lanos 2000 and i was having trouble installing the timing belt so i now realize that the water pump must be lose so tomorrow ill see if this video was helpful.

[@gabiaj71]

im doing right now the. car of one of my friends. but the old freaking water pump was so rusty and it was pain in the neck to take it off.

[@pablohalog6687]

I would take the cam gears off to look at the spokes. My sons car both sprockets had cracks.

[@zachmorgan8988]

Soo....when putting the cam sprockets back on and tightening them up and the sping jumps the sprocket 90 degrees what then? Just jump it back around once or what?

[@eustacevictor2177]

Hey I'm from the Caribbean and my car has a single cam any video on those the parts are also different bought this water pump and it is too big also the timing belt

[@dvdcolbert]

How did he tighten the belt back up

[@Afrocanuk]

I wish I could do that myself. My car is basically the same.

[@LizardWithTheWand]

do the gears have the marks on them already or did you paint them yourself?

[@nikrbawker]

They have grooves but most people paint those as well because one of the cogs has 2 marks and only one of those is the correct one. Also marking the valve cover with tooth mark like below is a good idea helps align it when at tdc with #1

[@monzadude]

Do you need a puller to get the lower sprocket off?

[@monzadude]

Thanks man, I tackled mine last weekend and yeah, the lower sprocket came right off. I was able to keep the upper sprockets on still wrestled the water pump out then back in. Thanks for your vid it sure was a help.

[@clintonarmstrong6353]

is that similar to a chevy sonic 2013? all i want to know is how i can replace it cant find any videos

[@biljanamihailovic246]

chevy sonic in some parts of the world is chevy aveo, same car, different type of motors.

[@TipTripsTech]

Under hw much km, we have to change the timing belt?

[@mopenstein]

60K miles

[@adzy43q20]

honestly every machanic that I've taken my holden barina to have refused to do my timing belt and water pump, they say it's a pain in the neck . I mean honestly is it really that hard

[@nikrbawker]

Lame back water mechanics without specialty tools. Not that hard but critical.

[@diegobellido6957]

good video easy as hek

[@LebannersHook]

Easy... lol. Go ahead, try it!

[@AlmightyyCres]

i wish you didnt skip the tensioner

[@angeltrieber]

not like the Subaru if it's off 1 tooth it's hard to start I watched my husband change a timing belt and water pump in one lol

[@CodytheCarGuy]

That's why your suppose to rotate it by hand after you put the belt on and double check your marks. Whats that saying measure twice and cut once well same on timing double check the marks and do the job once lol

[@angeltrieber]

Cody the Car Guy well the person he was working with marked one of the gears wrong he was going by that then my niece had her b/f come in and told my husband on the 2 bigger gears 1 mark had to be up and the other had to be down he was supposed to be a pro. with Subaru's my husband figured it out though lol

[@CodytheCarGuy]

angel trieber Gotta watch out for some of those best friends and supposed pros lol

[@angeltrieber]

Cody the Car Guy yeah her b/f tried to make my husband look like an ass in front of my niece but it didn't work lol, now he does things his way if he takes it apart he puts it back together himself

[@jeremyjones2771]

You forgot the rear cover

[@richard1835]

You got to slow down. You are moving to fast. Explain the water pump and how to move it. There is alot missing from your video.

[@dirtyred246]

its not a chevy engine, nor did chevy have anything to do with the make. Chevy don't even make small engines at all. this is a daewoo engine that GM bought from daewoo in Korea in 2001. Then later became GM Korea. Just about every small engine now days comes from GM Korea.

[@johncamping1764]

Advice! Buy the 41MM Water Pump tool.. Who ever decides to do this job.. also get a impact.. no need to take off top 2 spockets.. you can pull the plastic piece away enough to get the water pump out... I had to do this because I did not have an impact to take off the cam gears, the impact I had was electric and was too long.. Note don't forget the gasket on top; cover.. forgot and made it longer than i had too... Get the 41MM tool! Hope I bleed the coolant right.. any tips on that? Anyone?

[@johncamping1764]

Jimmy S I just replace the waterpump.. ran it around hoping it would be okay.. it started over heating again.. I need to check the thermostat if not just take it out.. but i did notice that the coolant resevior is leaking from the seams.. could this be causing the system to fail.. I would also like to see if im getting well over 15psi in system if thats the case.. well.. engine drama..but.. the gremlin is still in the system. the system remain stable when I have the heaters running full blast..

[@johncamping1764]

Does not leak in the morning only after the coolant reaches boiling point.. I don't have pressure tester.. will need to rent one for autozone and there is no check engine light..but i need to check again... i may need a coolant cap.. its leaking at the seems of the coolant resevior.. but its late.. I'll have to check again on Tues.. tommorrow too busy.

Good Job!

Remember when your timing was off: - loosen nut below distributor cap, turn slightly left/right until sounded right, tighten nut, go on your way-. Your grandmother could do it while you were having a smoke and a beer with your kids in the car. Chev/dodge/ford have been making cars for over 100 years and there is absolutely no excuse for this kind of stuff to be happening to the power plant of their vehicles (let alone most of what happens to them).

[@Ka_Gg]

That's ignition timing, not cam timing. A bit different. This would be the equivalent of moving a few accessories, removing the fan/water pump, crank pulley and then taking off the timing cover behind that and lining up the crank and cam pulleys on the older cars. Yes, things were easier back then.

[@firdtlast2267]

plastic idler pulley fails.

[@nikrbawker]

Tensioner more likely to fail first. I'd love to have some one make high strength aluminum ones for my car.

[@richard1835]

Good Morning Cody, I have a 2007 Aveo in my shop. According to Alldata you have to loosen and move the water pump twice after the initials rotations to line up the timing marks. Is that what you did or do I need to rotate the engine only once and verify the timing marks. Please send me procedure you used for making sure the timing belt is tensioned properly. Thank you [e-mail] Have a Nice Day.

[@stephanieconroyslife]

[@80goal]

You don't show many things. I couldn't follow

[@g8way2k1]

Obviously, not a job for the faint of heart. Time and tools are key, I imagine. And somehow, I don't believe that a layperson can replace a timing belt simply by watching a video. I would need someone standing over me.

[@LebannersHook]

I've done all my work on my Aveo and I have no formal training. I buy tools when I need and learn from research. I've worked on all 4 cars I've owned from compressing suspension springs to change strut mounts (that's a not a job for the faint of heart), calipers, rotors, inner and outer ball joints, valve covers, timing belts, fuel filters, resonator, exhaust, all sorts of sensors, water pumps and pulleys, alternators (not fun on the Aveo)... I have yet to mess something up. Though I am meticulous about my organization, research and methods. I've learned a wealth of information applicable to many applications beyond cars, and I consider myself a an average joe. It's just that some people "do" while most "don't".

[@OffGridInvestor]

No idea why you would try to take the water pump off to release the tension and possibly BEND BOLTS TRYING instead of try to release pressure off the tensioner first. Apparently there's a lot missing in this video.

[@rm-we9xo]

ummmm, turning the waterpump is how you are supposed to release the tension. Its not possible to "BEND BOLTS" with this style. smh.

[@lokizyl7427]

You skip a lot of important parts of the video,not impressed at all
