Hello,

Unfortunately you do state which engine is fitted to your vehicle.
Vauxhall fitted 1.6/1.8 petrol engines and 1.9L diesel engines to your type of vehicle.
Any other engine fitted will use a timing chain set up.

The 1.6 , 1.8 engine share timing mark layout. Please see first picture below .
For the 1.9 diesel engine, this unit needs to locked into place with locking tools. A good YouTube video link on how to lock the engine using the special tool kit is below. See 2nd picture below for the locking kit required and the 3rd picture for the belt routing.

Link for locking kit at Amazon.

Please let us know how you get along.

Cheers, Boris
