Hi
My wife's -04 Getz 1.3l G4EA, won't start. Replaced the starter-motor, due to my own ability to ignore the obvious symptoms of "startermotor works, but engine doesn't fire, could this be due to the cam-belt should have been changed?"
Anyway, time to remove the fan-belts and such.. (A pure PITA in my opinion, I'm used to Peugeots. The Getz is certainly not work-hour-friendly in comparison.)
here is a pic of the cam-belt:

all the teeths at countershaft sprocket are worn of, probably (hopefully? ) all att the same time in the first start attempt.
The local Hyundai dealer told me they just used to change cam-belt, and "look and feel " for faults. As a customer I would like my garage to do it the right way; disassembly of top end , visual and technical inspection of valve/cam/pistons. As a DIY I am probably going the "install new belt and see how that works out"-way.
Questions:
Anyone can confirm if the Getz experience any damage (valves/pistons/) from cam-belt faults?
(the engine was shut down , and wouldn't start again. Was not a catastrophic "at speed" failure.)
Going to check compression of each cylinder. Anyone with the 'cold' spec's for compression?
Where is cyl. #1 ? (near transmission or near cambelt ?)
How do I find TDC at compression stroke? Or more exactly how to recognize compression stroke.
(rememebemer the car have been tried to be started many times. The timing marks are easliy read, but i'm worried about getting everythin 180 deg. off.)
Can I use the TDC-sensor readout on a multimetre ? If so , where is this placed?
Or can I use the ignition spark ?!
Any help would be appriciated. Found the .ru pages with manuals, but they seem a bit cluttered (?)
