    I cant find a definitve answer on google so hoping someone here knows! Ive an 06 astra sri cdti 150. Its due a belt soon and im wondering if locking tools are necessary, and if they are, are they the same as for the 1.4, 1.6 etc petrol astras as I already own that set. Thanks in advance

    No they are not the same. The 1.9 CDTI 150 needs these tools:

    The 1.6 petrol has different locking tools and the 1.4 petrol has a timing chain, not a belt.

    Cheers, bear in mind the 1.4 although chain driven still requires locking tools to remove the chain

    Get the locking tools for sure, holding back the cams while you install the belt is like trying to get a mad cat in a shoe box

    I was helping a friend with a water pump and timing belt on his truck, without the extra set of hands I would have never been able to install the belt on my own... lesson learned... get the tools :)

    oh yeah the cat, the four paws of claws won in the end
