  • Observe all tightening torques.

Removal

  1. Remove:
      • Engine steady bar.
      • Auxiliary drive belt.
      • Engine control module (ECM). DO NOT disconnect cable.
      • Engine control module (ECM) bracket.
      • Crankshaft pulley bolts [1] .
      • Crankshaft pulley [2] .
      • Timing belt covers [3] & [4] .
  2. Turn crankshaft clockwise to setting position.
  3. Insert timing pin in camshaft sprocket [5] . Tool No.(-).0132RZ.
  4. Insert flywheel timing pin [6] . Tool No.(-).0132QZ.
  5. Slacken tensioner nut to release tension on belt [7] .
  6. Move tensioner away from belt. Lightly tighten nut [7] .
  7. Remove timing belt.

Installation

  1. Ensure timing pins located correctly [5] & [6] .
  2. Fit timing belt in following order:
      • Crankshaft sprocket.
      • Camshaft sprocket.
      • Water pump sprocket.
      • Tensioner pulley.

    NOTE: Ensure belt is taut between sprockets on non-tensioned side.

  3. Attach tension gauge to belt at warning. Tool No.SEEM C.Tronic 105.5 [8] .
  4. Slacken tensioner nut [7] .
  5. Turn tensioner anti-clockwise until tension gauge indicates 44 SEEM units.
  6. Tighten tensioner nut to 22 Nm [7] .
  7. Remove:
      • Timing pins [5] & [6] .
      • Tension gauge [8] .
  8. Turn crankshaft four turns clockwise to setting position.
  9. Insert timing pin in flywheel [6] .NOTE: DO NOT allow crankshaft to turn anti-clockwise.
  10. Ensure timing pin can be inserted easily in camshaft sprocket [5] .
  11. Remove:
      • Timing pin [5] .
      • Cylinder head cover.
  12. Install valve spring compressor. Tool No.0132AE [9] .NOTE: Tighten bolts of tool sufficiently to free the cam followers from camshaft. Excessive tightening will cause damage to valves or pistons.
  13. Attach tension gauge to belt at warning [8] .
  14. Hold tensioner pulley in position. Slacken tensioner nut [7] .
  15. Release tension on belt. Turn tensioner clockwise until tension gauge indicates 29-33 SEEM units.
  16. Tighten tensioner nut to 22 Nm [7] .
  17. Remove:
      • Valve spring compressor [9] .
      • Tension gauge [8] .
      • Timing pin [6] .
  18. Turn crankshaft two turns clockwise.
  19. Ensure timing pins can be inserted [5] & [6] .
  20. Install components in reverse order of removal.
