How can it be half a tooth out?! A tooth isn't a variable amount! You cant adjust where the teeth on the belt are! To do that you vernier pullies.

I had problems with it being done by monkies and 2 different places did it wrongly for me! It was 3 teeth advanced on the inlet and 2 retarded on the exhaust. It ran, wouldn't idle, used loads of fuel and was 20bhp down on what it was after it was fixed.

If that was all that was needed your only looking at about 50 bucks at a guess. I suppose vauxhall would do something fancy that would cost an arm and a leg and you'd be no better off.

If he is a mechanic couldn't he sort the timing out for you.
Surely its a just case of removing the timing belt, Realigning the cams and replacing the belt.

yeah it is run shit
he reckons its about 1/2 a tooth out by the sound of it
n e one had vauxhall sort there timing?? how much was it??
cheers

even if its 1 tooth out, u will certainly know its out mate, will b runnin like a bag of shit

my g/f's bro is a mechanic and done a full service and clean down on my car at the weekend but reckons the timing is slightly out.
how much will it cost from vauxhall 2 sort it out??
or can n e other garage sort it properly??
cheers :thumbs:
