2. Ensure timing marks on camshaft sprockets aligned with outer edges of locking tool [10] & [11] .

   NOTE: Exhaust camshaft sprocket has a scribed timing mark and inlet camshaft sprocket has a dot timing mark.

3. Ensure crankshaft at TDC on No.1 cylinder.
4. Ensure crankshaft timing pin located correctly [3] .
5. Ensure flywheel locked with tool [5] .
6. Fit timing belt in clockwise direction, starting at exhaust camshaft sprocket.
7. Ensure belt is taut between sprockets.
8. Remove tensioner pulley locking pin [12] .
9. Check depth of crankshaft threaded hole [13] . Use suitable measuring tool [14] .
   • 42 mm: Use new crankshaft pulley bolt (M12 x 29 mm).
   • 52 mm: Use new crankshaft pulley bolt (M12 x 44,5 mm).
10. Install:
    • Timing belt lower cover [8] .
    • Crankshaft pulley [7] .
    • Crankshaft pulley bolt [6] .
11. Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt [6] . Use new bolt. Tightening torque:
