[turbo1600]

hi, i have a nubira 1.6 dohc,and noticed that some 1.6 engines have a cam belt tensioner that sits between the crank pulley and water pump , and some dont even have that tensioner...

any body explain this /?

thank, mark k

I think it may be age dependant - with most Daewoo engines there was bit of an overhaul (minor changes, but enough to make some parts incompatible as I've found out in the past) around 2000.

Usually 1997-1999 models would follow one setup and 2000-2002 models would follow another.

thanks for the heads up, any body got a part number for the tensioner used in my 1.6ltr ( tensioner between crank and water pump) halready had a pretty good look, but couldnt find anything...

Can you give us the first 11 out of 17 digits of your VIN?

hi, vin is : KLAJA356EWK139075 Build 1/98
. i cant find the tensioner anywhere, looked where i put all me parts.......now i`m wonderin if it did have a tensioner located where i said, or does the timing belt get tensioned up by the water pump ? thats what you get for workin on too many engines at once......

Your automatic tensionner is above the water pump on this 1.6DOHC. And you have to set the tension by rotating this water pump. Look for "Gates TB 022" here http://ww2.gates.com/europe/index.cfm?location_id=6180 .

Since you are replacing timing belt I hardly recommend you to change the whole kit (belt/tensionner/idler/water pump) since a broken part anywhere there is as bad as a broken belt. Look here, same engine concept: http://youtu.be/te40MAgtQQE

If you keep the water pump change at least it's Oring.

Certainly not! Idiot only doesn't ask question.
Should you need further doc about 1.6DOHC just ask. Or have a look at the "how-to" or "faq" sections.
