The Holden Barina vehicle is primarily in Australia although there is always the option to import a vehicle if need be. The Barina has been awarded the highest possible safety rating of 5 stars.
It is not recommended that an amateur replace a timing belt in a Holden Barina. One would have to take everything off from the front engine cover to just remove the cover. Then, there are marks on the crank pulley that needs to be lined up to replace the timing chain. A licensed mechanic can help you with any questions.
Hi, I'm not sure how you would fix that, but I'm sure someone at www.holdenbarina.net would be able to help you. It's a forum dedicated to Holden Barina's and the members are really nice and helpful.
This diagram would be available with an image search. You can find some that are labeled and some that are not.
ACCORDING TO THE CHILTON MANUAL YES. EDIT: According to the manuals and parts description, they say these are interference engines. The SOHC versions are not interference while the rarer DOHC versions are interference engines. Since they are not aware of what engine you are working on, they would rather be safe and tell you it is an interference engine. I would have destroyed at least two of these engines if they were interference. I have changed timing belts and been off a few teeth at first.
If the timing belt broke on an interference engine, the open valves and pistons would collide and wreck the engine.
It would depend if the engine is a non-interference engine or not.
an interference engine means when the timing belt snaps it bends valves etc etc a non interference engine when the timing belt breaks u simply replace it to the best of my knowledge the 4e-fe engine is non interference as i had one break before and simply replaced it i hope my answer is of some use to you cheers..........jono ireland:) what do you mean by an interference engine and why would you want to know, it wont change the engine, which is bullet proof except for oil burning, which left unchecked results in big end failure....peter
Depends on if the engine is an interference engine or not, and how fast it shut down when the belt broke. Interference in this case means that valve and piston reach can overlap, which very often means that when they fall out of synch they smash into each other. If it's a non-interference engine it's no worries.
No, unless you have the really high lift, aftermarket camshafts (you would know if you did) the 3.0 and 3.2 SHO are non interference engines.
A damaged timing belt would stop the engine from running probably with no warning. If you should have an "interference engine" it would basically destroy the engine.
I would like to know who manufactured Deawoo engine Holden of The land down under for GM.
