(PART 3) Something WASN'T Right Under The Timing Cover - 2010 Vauxhall Astra J

🚗 2010 Vauxhall Astra J 1.6 Customer reported coolant and oil leaks on a 2010 Vauxhall Astra J 1.6. The engine had been steam cleaned before the vehicle came to me.. I started with a pressure test and removed the front bumper to pressure test the A/C system, where a very small pinhole leak was later found. While pressure was held in the system, I replaced the rocker cover gasket. I then replaced the side coolant housing and two coolant pipes, refilled the system and carried out a full cooling system bleed. At this stage, I noticed oil dripping, which I initially thought was excess oil residue that would be cleaned later — but it wasn’t. Due to slight oil contamination, I proceeded with the timing belt replacement. Once stripped, I discovered the intake and exhaust cam pulley timing marks were misaligned, so the timing was reset correctly. After refitting, just as I was draining the oil and refitting the bumper bolts, oil appeared again. The timing belt had to come off again, where I found the camshaft oil seals leaking. The cam seals were replaced, VVT pulleys secured correctly, everything reassembled, and all oil thoroughly cleaned from the engine. The job was then completed with a fresh oil and filter service — with no further leaks. 🔧 Repairs Performed: A/C System Pressure Test Rocker Cover Gasket Replacement Coolant Housing Replacement Coolant Hoses X2 Replaced Timing Belt Kit Replaced Camshaft Oil Seals Replaced Oil & Filter Change Carried Out 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe for more automotive repair guides and maintenance tips! 📱 *Follow us on Instagram:* [spark.motor_wurks](  / spark.motor_wurks  ) 📘 *Like us on Facebook:* [SPARKMOTORWURKS](  / sparkmotorwurks  ) For expert car repair advice or services, feel free to reach out #vauxhallastra #opelastra #mechanic 00:00 Intro 00:15 Visual Check Of Timing Belt 00:31 Note 01:06 Timing Belt Removal 21:16 Wrong Timing Marks 22:20 Timing Belt Removal 26:14 Rocker Cover Off Again 32:56 Timing Belt Removal 48:00 Cleaning
