Engines 1.0 and 1.2 l
Removal
1. Loosen the mounting bolts and remove the protective cover (2) of the cylinder head cover in the direction indicated by the arrow in the illustration.
Removing the protective cover

2. Disconnect the wiring harness connector (4), disconnect the PCV hoses (1) from the cylinder head cover and disconnect the ignition module wiring harness multi-pin connector (3) (refer to illustration).
3. Remove the ignition module mounting bolts.
4. Remove the ignition module upwards from the cylinder head. To do this, screw the special KM-574 grip (1) into the module. If there is no grip, screw in the corresponding bolts and pull out the ignition module by the bolts. Remove the oil filler cap (2).

Engines 1.4 and 1.6 l
Removal
1. Release the fuel pressure (see Chapter Fuel, exhaust and emission control systems).
2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
3. Remove the air filter with the MAF sensor and air intake sleeve (see Chapter Fuel, exhaust and emission control systems).
4. Drain the coolant into a previously prepared container (see Chapter Engine cooling, interior heating and air conditioning systems).
5. Disconnect the upper and lower radiator hoses (see Chapter Engine cooling, interior heating and air conditioning systems).
6. Unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the tank from the engine compartment bulkhead.
7. Remove the high voltage wire cover.
8. Disconnect the fuel supply hose (1) from the fuel line and the fuel return hose (2) from the fuel pressure regulator. Mark the fuel hoses with tape beforehand to avoid confusion during installation. Clamp the hoses.

17. Disconnect the CKP sensor (2) and the CMP sensor (3) connector c16XE engine disconnect the injector connector (1).
Sensor and injector connectors

18. Disconnect the negative cable from the bottom of the intake manifold.
19. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the fuel pressure regulator.
20. Disconnect the PCV hose from the cylinder head cover.
21. On x14XE and X16XE engines remove the auxiliary air supply pump from the engine together with the electrical wiring (see Chapter Fuel, exhaust and emission control systems).
22. Loosen the 10 timing belt cover mounting bolts and remove the cover together with the sealing elements.
Installation
1. Make sure the mating surfaces of the cover and head are clean and dry.
2. Install new gaskets (1) and new sealing rings (2) on the cylinder head.
Timing Belt Cover Sealing Elements

To prevent the sealing rings from falling into the cylinder head during installation, lubricate them with a small amount of Vaseline. Lubricate the corners of the camshaft bearing cover on the camshaft pulley side with OPEL L000 0295 sealant.
3. Carefully place the timing belt cover in its regular place, checking the correct placement of the seals. Screw in the mounting bolts and, moving in a spiral from the center to the edges, tighten them evenly with force 8 Nm.
4. Install the upper part of the intake manifold and tighten its mounting bolts with force 8 Nm.
5. Install the throttle body pipe with a new sealing gasket and tighten the bolts securing it to the top of the intake manifold with force 8 Nm.
6. Install the throttle cable onto the throttle body and check its adjustment (see Chapter Fuel, exhaust and emission control systems).
7. Further installation is carried out in the reverse order of dismantling the components.
