Before removing the accessories belt, check the
centreline of the automatic tensioner (see
section 07 "Checking the accessories belt
tension").
Loosen bolt (A), then bolt (B) to past the shoulder
while holding the automatic tensioner plate using a
9.35 mm square, then relax the belt moving the
ratchet in the direction of the arrow.
Remove the Top Dead Centre pin plug.
Position the engine support, tool Mot. 1453 with the
retaining straps.Remove:
– the suspended mounting cover and its movement
limiter.
– the bolt (1), and slacken engine tie-bar bolt (2),
without removing it.
Adjusting the timing
Turn the crankshaft to align the camshaft and housing
timing marks while at the same time inserting the TDC
pin Mot. 1054 (begin to press one half tooth on the
pin before aligning the camshaft marks to prevent
it falling into a crankshaft balancing hole).

Remove the timing gear cases.
Release the tension wheel, then remove the timing
belt.
Check that the tension wheel and pulleys turn freely
without play.
NOTE: Slackening the tension wheel bolt by more
than one turn may cause it to come loose.

REFITTING
Engine cold (ambient temperature).
Check that pin Mot. 1054 is in place.
Fit the timing belt by aligning the belt markings with
those of the camshaft, injection pump and crankshaft
sprockets.
Bring the tension wheel into contact with the belt by
tightening a bolt to the inner timing cover.
Remove pin Mot. 1054.Apply a pretensioning torque using Mot. 1543 (fitted
with cover N˚ 3) by using a torque wrench adjusted to
a torque of 1.1 daN.m on the edge of the belt to be
measured.

CLEANING
It is very important not to scratch the gasket faces
of any aluminium component.
Use the Décapjoint product to dissolve any part of the
gasket which remains attached.
W ear gloves whilst carrying out the following
operation.
– Apply the product to the parts to be cleaned; wait
about ten minutes, then remove it using a wooden
spatula.
W e must draw your attention to the care which
must be taken during this operation, to prevent
any foreign bodies from being introduced into the
oil ways (ducts located in the cylinder block and in
the cylinder head).
CHECKING THE GASKET FACE
Check for gasket face bow using a straight edge and a
set of shims.
Maximum deformation: 0.05 mm.
No regrinding of the cylinder head is permitted.
Check the cylinder head for cracks.Checking piston protrusion
Clean the piston heads in order to eliminate any traces
of deposits.
Turn the crankshaft in its operating direction, to bring
piston n ° 1 close to TDC.
Fit tool Mot. 252-01 on the piston.
Fit the tool Mot. 251-01 fitted with a gauge on the
pressure plate Mot. 252-01 (the dial gauge measuring
pin being in contact with the cylinder block) and look
for the TDC of the piston.
NOTE: All measurements are to be carried out in the
longitudinal axis of the engine, in order to eliminate
any errors due to tilting of the piston.
Max. piston protrusion: 0.72 ± 0.077 mm

Pressure adjustment
TURBOCHARGING PRESSURE LIMITATION
VALVE (WASTEGATE)
NB: the limitation valve operates in the opposite
way to the usual fittings.
The absence of control pressure causes a
turbocharging pressure limitation.
Check that there are no leaks between the vacuum
pump and the limitation valve.
Checking calibration pressure
Fit on vehicle.
Use a dial gauge which should be positioned at the
end of the wastegate rod (as far as possible in the
wastegate axis).
An underpressure is progressively generated on the
wastegate using a manual vacuum pump.Calibration values
Fitting on the vehicle
When checking the calibration pressure it may be
necessary to adjust the wastegate rod length (A) (if
the pressure is not within tolerance).
This adjustment is made with the turbocharger in
place.
Loosen the lock nut then loosen or tighten the
adjusting nut (B).
Validate the repair in a road test, checking the "RC0
turbocharging limiter valve" parameters and the
"turbocharging pressure" on the diagnostic tools.
