Refitting

Refitting

1. Position the compressor drive belt on the drive pullies and tension it acting on the bolts fixing the compressor mounting bracket. Using tool 1895762000, check that the tension of the new belt is between 48 and 60 daN; if the same belt is refitted, the tension should be between 30 and 41 daN. Then refit the components removed previously and the alternator and power assisted steering drive belts.

CHECKING VALVE GEAR TIMING

Before checking the valve gear timing, it is necessary to remove: the auxiliary drive belts, following the instructions given previously, the upper section of the inlet manifold, complete with fuel manifold and the timing belt shield, following the instructions given in the "Removing - refitting timing belt" paragraph which follows.

2. Rotate the auxiliary shaft drive pulley in its normal direction of rotation until the reference (1) is on the opposite side to the rpm and TDC sensor (3). This operation is carried out to bring the pistons approximately in line with one another.
3. Remove the sealing plugs illustrated in the diagram from the camshaft housing.
