Fitting   Note t  When turning camshaft, crankshaft should not be at TDC. Risk of piston valves / head fault. t  Respect the toothed belt D.O.R. - risk of breaking.

–  Align camshaft sprocket mark with marking on cylinder head cover -arrows-. Engine installed:

–  Set the crankshaft to the TDC for cylinder 1 -arrow-. Engine removed:

–  Set the damper to the TDC for cylinder 1 -arrows-.

–  Carefully turn the eccentric with the rotation tool -T20197- clockwise, until the eccentric is almost at the limit -B-. –  Place timing belt on crankshaft sprocket (observe direction of rotation). –  Fit timing belt onto coolant pump, tensioning roller and camshaft sprocket. –  Install tensioner for timing belt.

–  Turn the eccentric with the rotation tool -T20197- anticlockwise (eccentric projection moves to the limit -A-) until the counterhold -T10008- can be removed without tension. –  Relax the counterforce of the tensioner clockwise (the eccentric projection moves to the limit -B- until reaching the dimension -a-. Dimension specification -a-: 4 ±1 mm   Note t  The dimension “a” reduces when tightening the tensioning roller securing bolt. Therefore, adjust generously with a drill of 4 mm of Ø. t  With a hot engine, the dimension “a” may reduce to 1 mm. –  Hold tensioning roller in this position and tighten to 20 Nm 45° (1/8 turn). –  Install lower and centre timing belt guards.   Note Place the bolts into the console support before positioning it. –  Place the console in the cylinder block and tighten bolts -arrows- to 45 Nm. –  Install vibration damper / pulley → Chapter.

–  Position the engine unit mounting, engine side -arrows-.   Note Tightening torques of the mechanical unit engine mountings → Chapter. Continue the fitting, following the reverse order of the removal process.
