Remove the suspended engine mounting.
Remove the timing cover, water pump cover and
suspended engine mounting cover on the cylinder
head .
Turn the engine in the operating direction until
the timing reaches its setting point (the camshaft
and crankshaft markings are aligned), whilst in-
serting pin Mot. 1054 into the flywheel.

PROCEDURE FOR TENSIONING TIMING BELT
Remove pin Mot. 1054.
Fit the spacer (1) of tool Mot. 1386 and tighten
the crankshaft sprocket bolt.
10881R
a)Fit tool Mot. 1273 and, using tool
Mot. 1135-01, turn the tension wheel anti-
clockwise until the value of 20 US is obtained
(turn the sensor wheel until it is tight, as indi-
cated by three clicks).

IMPORTANT: The camshaft sprocket bears five
markings, of which only the rectangular one on
the surface of one of the teeth represents TDC;
the other markings are intended as an aid for ad-
justing the valve rockers.

Tighten the tension wheel nut.
Turn the engine at least twice (never in the op-
posite direction to normal operation).
Insert the pin in the engine at TDC, then remove
the pin .
Check that the timing is correct on the crankshaft
and camshaft side.
Slacken the tension wheel nut and turn it slightly
clockwise using tool Mot. 1135-01 until the two
holes of the tension wheel are lined up
horizontally.
Retighten the tension wheel nut.
b)Turn the engine at least twice (never in the
opposite direction to normal operation).
Insert the pin in the engine at
TDC then re-
move the pin.
Using tool Mot. 1386, apply a pretensioning
torque of 1 daN.m between the crankshaft
sprocket and the water pump.
Fit tool Mot. 1273 and note the tension measure-
ment, which should be 20±
3 US (fitting tension),
or simply adjust by varying the position of the
tension wheel using Mot. 1135-01 and repeat the
tensioning process in (b).
Tighten the tension wheel nut to a torque of
5 daN.m.
IMPORTANT
Following each variation of the tension wheel
position, turn the engine at least twice before
proceeding to measure the tension .
Apply the pretensioning of 1 daN.m which allows
all belt play to be eliminated.
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Fit the suspended engine mounting .

Bring the engine to the setting point.
Align the markings (L) of the crankshaft sprocket
with the fixed marking (M); the marking (N) of
the camshaft sprocket must be in the position il-
lustrated below.
Slacken the nut (O) and and release the tension
wheel , then remove the belt.

REFITTING
An arrow indicating the direction of rotation and
two dashes for setting are marked on the surface
of the belt .
Check that the engine is at the setting point.
Bring the belt markings in line with the sprocket
markings .
Observe the mounting direction for the belt and
begin to position it on the crankshaft sprocket.
Carry out the tensioning of the belt using tool
Mot. 1135-01, until the fitting value is obtained
(see section 07 "Timing belt tension ").
Tighten the nut (O) of the tension wheel to a tor-
que of 5 daN.m.
It is essential to tighten the nut of the tension
wheel to a torque of 5 daN. to avoid any slacke-
ning which may cause a deterioration in the en-
gine .
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Refit the crankshaft pulley, being sure to tighten
the bolt to a torque of 2 daN.m with an angle of
68° ± 6°.
Refit and tension the accessories belts (see section
07 "Accessories belt tension").
Never refit a belt once removed , but replace it. E7J Engine
