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.

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).
|
|
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.
