ENGINECHECKING AND SETTING THE VALVE TIMING
Engine: NFU
Adjusting the fitting tension of the timing belt.
Slacken the nut while maintaining the position of the tensioner roller, with the aid of a hexagonal
spanner at «a».
Next bring the index «c»to its adjusting position «e».
WARNING: The index «c» must not go beyond the notch «e». If it should do this, restart the
timing belt tensioning operation.
Hold the tensioner roller in this position with the aid of a hexagonal spanner.
Tighten the tensioner roller fixing nut to 2.2 ± 0.2 m.daN.
IMPERATIVE: The tensioner roller must not rotate during the tightening of its fixing. If it
does, restart the timing belt tensioning operation.
Refitting.
Refit the timing covers, the crankshaft pulley, the auxiliaries drive belt
(see corresponding operation).
Complete the refitting.
IMPERATIVE: Carry out the operations that are necessary following a reconnection of the
battery
(see corresponding operation).

ENGINECHECKING AND SETTING THE VALVE TIMING
Engine: RFJ
Tensioning the timing belt.
Refitting (continued).
Turn the tensioner roller (9)anti-clockwise, using a hexagonal spanner at «c».
Place the index «a»in position «e».
IMPERATIVE: The index «a» should go past the slot «f» by an angular value of 10°.
If it does not, replace the tensioner roller or the tensioner roller and timing belt assembly.
Then bring the index «a»to its adjustment position «f», by turning the tensioner roller in the direction of
the arrow «d».
WARNING: The index «a» must not go past the slot «f».
If it does, restart the operation to tension the timing belt.
IMPERATIVE: The tensioner roller must not turn during the tightening of its fixing.
If it does turn, restart the operation to tension the timing belt.
Tighten the screw (10)of the tensioner roller (9)to 2,1 ± 0,2 m.daN.
IMPERATIVE: The hexagonal tensioner roller drive should be at approx. 15° below the level
of the cylinder head gasket «g».
Otherwise, replace the tensioner roller or the tensioner roller and timing belt assembly.

CHECKING AND SETTING THE VALVE TIMING
Engines: 9HX - 9HY - 9HZ
Checking and setting the timing (continued).
Peg the crankshaft at «e», using tool [3].
Remove:
- The timing belt protector (13).
- The engine speed sensor (14).
Slacken the screw (12)of the tensioner roller and keep it slackened using an allen spanner at «d».
Detension the timing belt by pivoting the tensioner roller
(clockwise).
Remove the timing belt, starting with the coolant pump pinion.
Checks.
ESSENTIAL: Just prior to refitting, proceed to the checks as below.
Check:
- That the rollers and the coolant pump pulley turn freely
(without play and without tight spot).
- That there are no signs of oil leaks (at the crankshaft and camshaft seals).
- That there are no leaks of coolant fluid (at the coolant pump).
- That the track of the engine speed sensor target (14)is not damaged or scratched.
Replace any components that are defective
(if necessary).
