Engines: 8HX 8HW 8HZ
B1EP18KC
Setting the timing (continued).
Turn the tensioner roller to the right to bring the index «c»to position «d», using a
hexagonal spanner.
Tighten the screw
(9)of the tensioner roller, tighten to 3 ± 0,3 m.daN.
Remove the tools [4]and [5].
Rotate the engine
ten times(check that the timing pinion is correctly up against the
crankshaft).

Setting the timing.
Perform the preliminary operations for checking the timing up to removing tool [1]at «a»for immobiling the
engine flywheel.
Refit screw
(8).
Rotate the crankshaft to bring the camshaft towards its pegging point.
Peg the camshaft, using tool
[2](oil the pegs).
WARNING: Do not press or damage the track which is the target for the engine speed sensor (14).
Peg the crankshaft at «b», using tool [3].

king the setting.
IMPERATIVE: Just prior to refitting, carry out the following tests.
Check that:
the rollers and the coolant pump operate freely
(no play and no tight spot).
there are no traces of oil
(from the crankshaft and camshaft sealing rings).
there is no leak of coolant fluid
(from the coolant pump).
the target track of the engine speed sensor
(14)is not damaged or scratched
(if necessary replace the defective components).

ks (continued).
Reposition the timing belt, belt at «e»well tensioned, in the following order:
Guide roller
(17).
Camshaft pulley
(16).
Fuel high pressure pump pulley
(15).
Coolant pump pinion

Adjusting the fitting tension of the belt.
Action the tensioner roller (19)to align the marks «f»and «g», avoiding detensioning the timing belt,
with the aid of a male hexagonal spanner, at
«c».
If this is not successful, repeat the operation to tension the belt.Hold the tensioner roller in position
(19).
Tighten the tensioner roller, tightening to
3,7 ±0,3 m.daN.
Check the position of the tensioner roller
(the alignment of the marks «f»and «g»should be correct).
