At higher temperatures, for example with engine at operating temperature or at higher ambient temperature, the needle is further to the right.
The illustration shows the needle position when adjusting the camshaft belt tensioner at different engine temperatures.
Tighten the timing belt as follows:
-
Turn crankshaft clockwise carefully until the camshaft belt is tensioned.
-
The belt should be tight between intake camshaft pulley, idler pulley and crankshaft.
-
Hold the belt tensioner center screw secure and turn the belt tensioner excenter counter clockwise until the tensioner needle passes the marked
position.
-
Then turn the eccentric back so that the needle reaches the marked position corresponding to the relevant temperature.
-
At 20°C (68°F) the needle must be centered in the window.
-
See figure above.
-
Secure the eccentric and tighten the center screw to 20 Nm (14.75 lb ft)
Check that the needle is in the correct position.
If this is not the case a new alignment must be carried out.
