  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).
