Hi Donald,
I am actually having my cam belt changed today, I had to take my 200is to my mechanic as i am scared of messing up with the timing setting or bending valves as it happens with most motors. All I know is that you have to untire on of your side engine mounting, remove your waterpump system as it blocks the way, remove you timing covers, pullies and tensioners while making sure that your timing position doesn't move. They say its best to replace you cambelt together with your timing tensioners as older ones gives your belt a short lifespan.

Sorry I coun't help accurately.

The process is too long for here so get yourself a workshop manual ( aftermarket will do ) and follow the pictures and the instructions.

Opel Kadett 1600. How do I get my marks on the crankshaft and the cam shaft for it.

Question edited for clarity. The 'Addition Information' area is for us to ask you questions before committing to an answer. I incorporated that into your question and corrected spelling and tossed in a load of CAPS.
Question moved to model category.

The important thing setting up the cam timing is not only that piston 1 is at TDC, it must also be on the firing stroke, in other words both intake and exhaust valves closed.

I need help to set my timing op my opel kadett 1.4 1995 model ..please

timing marks are on the cam belt wheels and on the oil pump and camshaft housing. tension of the cam belt get adjusted with the water pump, replace water pump at the same time to save to do the job twice, because water pump leaks a lot of times a few 1000k's after cambelt has been replaced.
