How To Change Timing / Cam Belt - 2004 Honda Civic 1.7 CDTi Part 12 Vauxhall Astra Zafira Isuzu 4EE2
Phew! I think this is the longest I've worked on a single video. Not because of making it long or high quality, but the fact that it was filmed a couple of years ago on my mobile phone and I was unable to compile a video of such a size on it. That was until I bought some software on my PC. After doing so, I discovered I had no way of doing a voiceover on the computer (the microphone port must be faulty) so I was back to using my phone to record voiceover files, that I had to go back and forth and cause myself a right headache with editing. Honestly, it was harder to get the timing right on the video than this car! By this time, I'd already forgotten most of the technical details of what I was trying to demonstrate, but I got there in the end and hope it comes across okay. Please feel free to ask questions in the comment section.
In this video, I'm changing the cambelt on this 2004 Honda Civic with the 1.7 Isuzu based 4EE2 turbo diesel engine. It's also used in many Vauxhall applications and you should be able to do the same by using this video as a guide. If you did find it helpful, please like the video, be super awesome by subscribing or even more so, if I saved you £400 in garage bills, I also have a tip jar on PayPal--sadly KZread rejected my application for monitisation/membership.

Tip for anyone watching this -when you tighten the tensioner you need to hold the tensioner still with a hex key, known issue on these being overtightened as the tensioner moves when tightening the bolt, causing bearing or belt failure, dayco / gates etc have field bulletins on this. Even only a couple or so degrees movement (hardly anything) raises the load on the belt exponentially, from around 20kg to over 60kg

Correct. This is why I mention it at 22:45 and show the allen key in place (although it's hard to see) along with the ratchet. Unfortunately I couldn't hold the allen key, tighten the tensioner bolt and film with my phone all at the same time. Once it's tightened down hard by hand, you can torque it up without much risk of it moving, unless of course you made a feeble effort of tightening by hand, in which case you also won't be able to hold the allen key "in place" either.

Recently changed on my Civic. The garage used an INA set. Now, I hear a whinning noise. :( Maybe it's over -tightened. Some guys from forums say thats the feature of INA. :(

Unlikely to be overtightened making the noise. The torque is quite high anyway, plus it shouldn't affect the rotation. The tensioner is supposedly self adjusting, but Honda recommended doing the backwards and forwards movement before securing. Maybe they missed this step? Although I think that is more to seat the belt in more evenly.

See my comment on this video. Likely overtightened, a common mistake even in garages
Was it a Dayco belt set? NTN rollers are tasty goods. :D

Yes'sir. I noticed the new bearings were much larger than the "Isuzu" original kit. NTN do make good ones.
