Belt drive with two part injection pump sprocket

Removing

  • ‒ Remove ribbed belt .
  • ‒ If fitted remove ribbed belt tensioning roller.
  • ‒ Remove upper toothed belt guard and cylinder head cover.
 
V23-0169
  • ‒ → Turn crankshaft to TDC No. 1 cylinder -arrow-.
  • ‒ Lock camshaft with setting bar.
  • ‒ Centralize setting bar as follows:
    Turn camshaft so that one end of setting bar contacts the cylinder head. Using feeler gauge establish the gap at the other end of the setting bar. Place a feeler gauge corresponding to half the gap between setting bar and cylinder head. Turn camshaft until the setting bar contacts the feeler gauge. Place a 2nd feeler gauge, of same thickness, at the other end between setting bar and cylinder head.
 
V17-0314
  • ‒ → Lock injection pump sprocket with pin.
  • ‒ Loosen tensioner.
  • ‒ Remove vibration damper and belt pulley.
  • ‒ Remove lower toothed belt guard.
  • ‒ Mark D.O.R. of toothed belt.

Engines with semi-automatic tensioning roller:

  • ‒ Remove idler roller.
  • ‒ Take off toothed belt.

Installing

  • ‒ Check whether TDC mark on flywheel and reference mark are aligned.
  • ‒ Loosen camshaft sprocket securing bolt 1/2 turn. Release camshaft sprocket from camshaft taper by tapping with a hammer (using a drift through rear toothed belt guard opening).

Engines without semi-automatic tensioning roller:

 
V23-0098
  • ‒ → Fit toothed belts (note D.O.R.) and remove pin from fuel injection pump sprocket.
  • ‒ Tension toothed belts (turn tensioner with pin wrench e.g. Matra V159 -arrow- to right).
         Scale value: 12 ... 13
    measured between camshaft sprocket and injection pump sprocket.
  • ‒ Tighten lock nut on the tensioner.
         Tightening torque: 45 Nm
  • ‒ Tighten camshaft sprocket securing bolt to
    45 Nm.
  • ‒ Remove setting bar.
  • ‒ Turn crankshaft two rotations in engine D.O.R. and again check toothed belt tension.

Engines with semi-automatic tensioning roller:

  • ‒ Fit toothed belt (note direction of rotation) and remove pin from injection pump sprocket.
  • ‒ Install idler roller.
         Tightening torque: 25 Nm
 
N13-0027
  • ‒ → Turn tensioning roller with pin wrench (e.g. Matra V159) to right until notch aligns with raised portion (arrows).
  • ‒ Tighten lock nut on tensioning roller.
         Tightening torque: 20 Nm
  • ‒ Check again whether TDC mark on flywheel and reference mark are aligned.
  • ‒ Tighten camshaft sprocket securing bolt to
    45 Nm.
  • ‒ Remove setting bar.

Continuation for all engines

  • ‒ Install toothed belt guard, vibration damper, belt pulley, and cylinder head cover.
  • ‒ Install ribbed belt => Page 13-16 .

Engine codes 1Z, AHU, AFN

  • ‒ Checking injection pump commencement of delivery:

=> Repair group 23; Servicing Diesel direct injection system; Dynamically checking and adjusting injection pump commencement of delivery.

Engine code AAZ

  • ‒ Check injection pump commencement of delivery:

=> Repair group 23; Servicing Diesel injection system; Checking and adjusting injection pump commencement of delivery (static).

Removing

 
V23-0169
  • ‒ Remove ribbed belt => Page 13-16 .
  • ‒ If fitted remove ribbed belt tensioning roller.
  • ‒ Remove upper toothed belt guard and cylinder head cover.
  • ‒ → Turn crankshaft to TDC No. 1 cylinder -arrow-.
  • ‒ Lock camshaft with setting bar.
  • ‒ Centralize setting bar as follows:
    Turn camshaft so that one end of setting bar contacts the cylinder head. Using feeler gauge establish the gap at the other end of the setting bar. Place a feeler gauge corresponding to half the gap between setting bar and cylinder head. Turn camshaft until the setting bar contacts the feeler gauge. Place a 2nd feeler gauge, of same thickness, at the other end between setting bar and cylinder head.
 
N13-0058
  • ‒ → Lock injection pump sprocket with pin 3359.
  • ‒ Loosen injection pump sprocket securing bolts -1-.
  • ‒ Loosen tensioner.
  • ‒ Remove vibration damper and belt pulley.
  • ‒ Remove lower toothed belt guard.
