Mastering the 1.6L Engine: Holden Barina Timing Belt Replacement Made Easy!

How to guide for a timing belt change on a 2005 to 2011 Holden Barina, Daewoo Kalos or Chevrolet Aveo (depending on where you are) with the 1.6L engine. I used a Dayco timing belt kit - KTBA186P. This includes a water pump in the kit which I recommend replacing. This pump has a dust shield which did not work on this engine, however I just cut it off, but you can order the kit with a water pump without the dust shield KTBA86P1.
Torque Specifications required:
Camshaft Position Sensor Bolt 12Nm / 106lb in
Coolant Pump Mounting Bolts 10Nm / 89lb in
Cam Pulley Bolts 76Nm / 56ftlbs
Engine Mount bracket (to block) 59Nm / 44ftlbs
Engine Mount 55Nm / 41ftlbs
Crank Pulley 95Nm / 70ftlbs - +30deg + 15deg
Timing cover bolts 10Nm / 89lb in
Timing belt kits required:
Gates TCKWP335 (includes water pump)
Gates TCK335 (no water pump in kit)
Dayco KTBA186(no water pump in kit)
Dayco KTBA186P (includes water pump - kit used in video)
Dayco KTBA186P1
These are cheap and cheerful cars and where sold in a few markets under different brands, here in Australia it was the Holden Barina, made by Daewoo and overall its a fairly ordinary car. Its old and irrelevant now but I'm sure theres still many people out there running around with these cars.

Awesome 👌

[@gdog1443]

Good work, I struggled to do one without holding a camera!

[@Shanes_Shed]

Yeah its a total pain to throw a camera into the mix

[@davidbaron1540]

One of the better videos i've watched to take you through step by step. Cheers Shane Really appreciated

[@Shanes_Shed]

Really appreciate your comment. Thank you for watching and commenting

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Great video dude this should help heaps Those stupid plastic idlers and cover

[@Shanes_Shed]

Would have been nice if it was designed so you didn't have to remove the camshaft pulleys and the back timing cover just to get the water pump out.

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

@@Shanes_Shed what was the steal plate for i didn't see

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

Dont worry its for the water pump Was making a coffee at the same time haha

[@Shanes_Shed]

love it when viewers answer their own questions!

[@downtheshedwithbyron]

@@Shanes_Shed sitting at the fuel bay watching it then i was like ill just make a coffee haha

[@andrew8502]

Great video mate. I found it very helpful. The fact they designed the engine with the plastic cover covering the water pump is so ridiculous. So much more work than it needs to be. Especially bad considering most people change the water pump with the belt and the belt intervals are every 60k on these engines!

[@Shanes_Shed]

Agree it’s the dumbest design idea around

[@gcoop7225]

Thanks for the video. Would a 2012 barina be significantly different? I'm Trying to see whether I can help someone out but worried about overcommitting myself Cheers

[@Shanes_Shed]

I’m not sure on any differences, if there is it would likely to be in the belt tensioning setup up and access requirements with cover removal.

[@Jack-uc1us]

Great stuff

[@Shanes_Shed]

Thanks

[@kyleboyer1074]

Got a 2000 Daewoo Lanos with this engine...I don't see any way to adjust the water pump with out removing the engine..

[@Shanes_Shed]

Whys that? Poor access to the front?

[@kyleboyer1074]

@@Shanes_Shed In a nutshell, yes. That cover you took off to remove the water pump, is a little different on the Lanos, where it actually blocks the ability to put the tool on the body of the pump to rotate it. You have to slide it in from behind that cover, but then that makes the alternator and intake manifold in the way...

[@garyharvey7905]

Does anyone know if this is the same water pump kit that would fit the later Holden Barina 2012 TM model? Been told that there are 4 different water pumps. Thanks

[@Shanes_Shed]

Couldn't tell you exactly how many different styles of pump there are, but it wouldn't surprise me having so many different variation's.

[@denzelnelson9848]

How do you tension timing belt

[@Shanes_Shed]

The water pump is the tension adjuster - which is one reason why I'd suggest changing it at the same time

[@gauguin007]

Does the Holden Combo have the same engine?

[@Shanes_Shed]

I believe its a different engine from what I can gather.

[@truckertwotimes7189]

that's a $250.00 job in Virginia USA

[@Shanes_Shed]

Costs more for just the new belt and tensioners here in Australia than that. And if your paying someone to do it add another $600 to the bill

[@lewiscarpitcher5131]

Little more English

[@Shanes_Shed]

Ok

[@JohnBoyBuilds]

Hey can you turbo one of these ?

[@Shanes_Shed]

Well you could turbo nearly anything. Although I fail to see why you would want to with these
