Toothed Belt, Remove and Install

General Instructions:

Install toothed belt on cold engine (room temperature) only. Replacement of toothed belt must be documented on dedicated sticker. The new toothed belt has guide marks which must be observed on installation.

1. Single dash for camshaft sprockets.
2. Arrow marks indicating the running direction.
3. Double dash for toothed belt drive gear.

If these guide marks are no longer visible, the toothed belt must be replaced.

Caution

Do not remove toothed belt under any circumstances unless camshaft sprockets and toothed belt drive gear have been adjusted and locked in "TDC" position using KM-800. Improper assembly of toothed belt can lead to engine damage. Misalignment of one tooth on a toothed belt can cause damage to valves and pistons. Always turn crankshaft uniformly in engine rotational direction.

Object Number: 2391612  Size: DEFAULT

Caution

Before installation, the toothed belt must be checked for kinking and fissures and must be replaced if necessary. If any of the guide marks on the toothed belt are no longer visible, then the toothed belt must be replaced as well. The same applies to toothed belts, toothed belt guide rollers and toothed belt tension rollers which are contaminated with oil. Install the toothed belt on a cold engine – room temperature.

  Install

Install new toothed belt.

Note running direction of toothed belt – arrow marks on toothed belt point in engine rotational direction (clockwise).

Double dash (1) on toothed belt must align with groove (2) on oil pump and notch (3) on toothed belt drive gear.

To prevent toothed belt jumping during installation, wedge KM-800-30 (4) between oil pump and toothed belt drive gear.

Caution

There are various sequences for installing the toothed belt due to the various base plate assemblies (4) (toothed belt tension roller, toothed belt guide roller and base plate). The toothed belt tension roller and toothed belt guide roller can only be replaced as an assembly together with the base plate. It is essential that the appropriate toothed belt is installed for the base plate assembly.

Option 1:

Toothed belt tension roller (5) without front flanged wheel and with code letter "D" (3) on the base plate (4) – 60.000 km / 4 years.

  Install

Position toothed belt via toothed belt guide roller (2) and camshaft sprocket "4" and "3" – make sure that torsion side (I) is tensioned – the excursion of the tension side of the toothed belt between the toothed belt guide roller and camshaft sprocket "4" should not exceed 1 cm.

The positioning marks (one dash each) on the toothed belt must align with the notches of the camshaft sprockets and rear toothed belt cover. Install toothed belt above toothed belt tension roller (1) camshaft sprocket "2" and "1" as well as toothed belt tension roller (5).

Object Number: 2398634  Size: DEFAULT

Option 2:

Toothed belt tension roller (5) without front flanged wheel and with code letter "E" – "EA" (3) etc. or code number "01" on the base plate (4) – 120.000 km / 8 years.

  Install

Position toothed belt on toothed belt tension roller (5) and camshaft sprocket "1" and "2", toothed belt guide roller (1), camshaft sprockets "3" and "4" and toothed belt guide roller (2) – ensure that tension side (I) is taut – the deflection of the toothed belt tensioned side between the toothed belt guide roller and camshaft sprocket "4" should not exceed 1 cm.

The positioning marks (one dash each) on the toothed belt must align with the notches of the camshaft sprockets and rear toothed belt cover.
