All Vehicles
  1. General Notes.
    • In production, vehicles have been fitted with both automatic and mechanical camshaft timing belt tensioners.
      CAUTION:
      CAUTION:Only perform work on the timing belt when the engine has reached the ambient temperature of the workshop.
      NOTE:
      NOTE:Always renew the injection pump timing belt when renewing the camshaft timing belt.
    • Coolant pumps and timing belt tensioners with different idler pulleys have been fitted in production on vehicles with a mechanical timing belt tensioner. In service there are now only coolant pumps with two edges on the idler pulley available. When renewing the timing belt tensioner make sure that if the timing belt tensioner does not have an edge on the idler pulley it is not matched with a coolant pump without edges on the idler pulley. It is NOT permissible to convert from a mechanical to an automatic timing belt tensioner.
