REPAIR
CAUTION: Ease timing belt off gears using
fingers only. Metal levers may damage the
belt and gears. Do not rotate engine with
timing belt removed and cylinder head fitted.
Timing belts must be stored and handled with
care. Always store a timing belt on its edge with a
bend radius greater than 50 mm. Do not use a
timing belt which has been twisted or bent double
as this can fracture reinforcing fibres. Do not use
an oil contaminated timing belt. Although the belt
has a service life of 96,000 miles, 160,000 km, an
existing belt should only be refitted if it has
completed less than 48,000 miles, 80,000 km.

REPAIR CHECK CAMSHAFT DRIVE BELT
Service repair no - 12.65.17
CAUTION: This check must be carried out
at the service intervals specified and
whenever carrying out any repair which
requires the timing belt to be disturbed. Pay
particular attention for signs of belt splitting at
base of teeth.
1.Remove 5 bolts securing timing belt upper cover
2.Remove upper cover.
3.Using a socket and extension bar on the
crankshaft pulley bolt, rotate engine to allow the
timing belt to be inspected.
CAUTION: Do not use camshaft gears or
retaining bolts to rotate engine.
4.Check timing belt condition, renew any belt that
shows signs of oil contamination, cracking,
fraying or splitting at base of teeth.
CAUTION: Cause of oil contamination, if
present, must be rectified.
5.Clean timing belt upper cover.
6.Position upper cover.
7.Fit upper cover securing bolts.

FAULT DIAGNOSIS ENGINE OVERHEATING
Before conducting any cooling system diagnosis:
See
Description and operation, Engine Cooling
1.Is coolant level correct?
NO - Allow engine to cool, top up level to
expansion tank seam.
YES - Continue.
2.Is drive belt tension correct?
NO -
See ENGINE, Repair, Drive Belt -
Check Tension
YES - Continue.
3.Is ignition timing correct?
NO -
See ELECTRICAL, Adjustment,
Ignition Timing
YES - Continue.
4.Is coolant in radiator frozen?
YES - Slowly thaw and drain system.
See
Adjustment, Coolant Requirements
NO - Continue.
5.Is air flow through radiator restricted or blocked?
YES - Apply air pressure from engine side of
radiator to clear obstruction.
NO - Continue.
6.Are there any external leaks, from water pump,
engine gaskets or the heater unit?
YES - Investigate and rectify.
See Adjustment,
Coolant Requirements
NO - Continue.
7.Are fan blades fitted correct way round, concave
side towards engine?
NO - Rectify.
YES - Continue.8.Is viscous unit operating correctly?
See
Description and operation, Viscous Fan
NO - Renew.See Repair, Viscous
Coupling, Fan Blades, Pulley and Fan
Cowl
YES - Carry out a pressure test on radiator cap
and system. Check thermostat type,
operation and correct fitting
See Repair,
Thermostat
If pressure test leads you to suspect coolant
leakage across gaskets, go to check 11,
otherwise: Continue.
9.Are the air conditioning fans operating correctly?
See Electrical Trouble Shooting Manual.K5
NO - Rectify.
YES - Continue.
10.Is temperature sender and gauge giving
accurate readings?
NO - Substitute parts and compare readings.
YES - Continue.
11.Carry out cylinder pressure test to determine if
pressure is leaking into cooling system causing
over pressurising and loss of coolant.
If problem is not diagnosed, check the coolant system
for engine oil contamination and engine lubrication
system for coolant contamination.
If the coolant only, or both systems are contaminated,
suspect cylinder head gaskets or radiator.
If only the lubrication stystem is contaminated with
coolant, suspect inlet manifold or front cover gaskets.

9.Reverse removal procedure. 1 to 3.
10.Check for coolant leaks around all hose
connections and joint faces.

ADJUSTMENT IGNITION TIMING
Service repair no - 86.35.15
Adjust
1.It is essential that following procedures are
adhered to. Inaccurate timing can lead to serious
engine damage and additionally create failure to
comply with emission regulations. If timing is
being checked in vehicle, air conditioning
compressor must be disengaged.
2.On initial engine build, or if distributor has been
disturbed for any reason, ignition timing must be
set statically to 6°B.T.D.C.
NOTE: This approximate setting is made
only to ensure that engine may be started.
CAUTION: On no account must engine be
started before this operation is carried out.Equipment required :-
Calibrated Tachometer
Stroboscopic lamp
3.Couple stroboscopic timing lamp and tachometer
to engine following manufacturer's instructions.
4.Disconnect vacuum hose from distributor.
5.Start engine. With no load, and without
exceeding 3,000 rev/min run engine until normal
operating temperature is reached. (Thermostat
open). Check that engine idles within tolerance
specified in data section.
6.Idle speed for timing purposes must not exceed
800 rev/min.
7.Run engine at idle speed and check timing using
stroboscope light on timing marker and pointer.
WARNING: Keep hands and equipment
away from belt.
8.If timing is not as specified, switch off engine.
Loosen distributor clamp bolt and turn distributor
to advance or retard ignition as necessary.
Tighten clamp bolt, start engine and recheck
timing.
WARNING: Personal injury may result if an
attempt is made to adjust distributor whilst
engine is running.
9.Upon completion, switch off engine and retighten
distributor clamping bolt securely. Recheck
timing, to ensure retightening has not disturbed
distributor position.
10.Refit vacuum hose.
11.Disconnect stroboscopic timing lamp and
tachometer from engine.
