Astra J 1.6 A16XER (115 hp) 2010 Outer Belt (and perhaps Timing Belt, too - Acond - 12:th-Aug-2020
So 77 000 km behind and 10 years, outer and timing belt not yet changed. Heard that when changing outer belt you have to release the tensioner by taking the right inner wing away etc. Is it so? Any tips. Perhaps time to do timing belt, too? Is it normal job (done V6 several times so basically I can do it but never touched 1.6). What is timing belt change interval? How about water pump? Recommendation for kits?

I don't see the wing has to come off the wheel and maybe arch liner for better access.
