Refitting
- Position the compressor drive belt in its drive pulleys and tension by adjusting the compressor bracket retaining bolts. Use tool 1895762000 to check that new belt tension is 48 - 60 daN. If the same belt is refitted, the tension should be 30 - 41 daN. Then refit the parts removed previously, and also the alternator and power steering drive belts.
REMOVING-REFITTING TIMING BELT
Before removing the timing belt, disconnect the battery negative terminal, remove the auxiliary drivebelt guard and slip the power steering and compressor drive belts off the flywheel without removing from their drive pulleys. To slacken tension in the compressor belt, first slacken the alternator drivebelt (consult previous paragraphs).
- Unscrew flywheel retaining bolts and remove. Also unscrew the bolts securing the lower timing belt guard and release the rpm and TDC sensor lead from the belt.
- Remove the filter case assembly by unscrewing the retaining nuts and clip indicated.
