Timing belt
11 F3R ENGINE
REMOVAL
Put the vehicle on a 2 post lift.
Disconnect the battery.
Remove:
- the computer and its mounting,
- the accessories belt in the following manner:
Slacken the tensioner (4) by the central bolt,
using a 7 mm allen key, by a quarter turn (cut
the end of the tool to approximately 12 mm)
while holding the outer nut with a 22 mm open
wrench.
Slackening the tensioner using the 22 mm wrench
automatically damages the adjustment teeth,
destroying the air conditioning and/or power as-
sisted steering mounting.

Fit clamp Mot. 453-01 to the low pressure pump
hose.
Disconnect the high pressure pipe (take
precautions to catch the oil which will run out).
Insert union Dir. 803 (metric thread) between the
pipe and the pump.
For engines where it is fitted, remove the
pressostat on the rigid pipe (high pressure).
Connect the pressure test union
Dir. 1204 and the oil pressure gauge

Remove clamp Mot. 453-01.
Top up the pump level and run the engine to
check the pressure.
Wheels in straight line:
Regardless of engine speed, the pressure should
not exceed 5 to 7 bars.
Full lock to one side:
Hold the steering at full lock, the maximum
pressure should be 79 to 86 bars.
This operation should not be prolonged to avoid a
high increase in the oil temperature.
Remove union Dir. 803 and pressure gauge
Fre. 1085 or Fre. 244-03 , cutting the supply to the
pump with clamp Mot. 453-01.
