ENGINECHECKING AND SETTING THE VALVE TIMING
Engines: KFW - NFV
Refitting the timing belt.
NOTE :Check that the pegs [1]and [2]are in place.
WARNING: Respect the direction of fitting of the belt: The arrows "a" indicate the direction of rotation of
the crankshaft.
Position:
-The timing belt, belt "b"well-tensioned in the following order: Crankshaft pinion, camshaft pulley, coolant pump
pulley, tensioner roller.
- Tool [5]
(respect the direction of fitting relative to the valve timing).
- Put the tensioner roller in contact with the belt.
- Tighten the nut (2).
Pre-tensioning the belt.
Place tool [4] on the tensioned part "b"of the belt.
Slacken the screw (2).
Turn the roller (3)in the anti-clockwise direction using the drive square, to obtain a value of: 44 SEEMunits.
Tighten the nut (2) to 2 m.daN.
Remove tools [1], [2] and [4].
Rotate the crankshaft 4 turnsin the normal direction of rotation.
IMPERATIVE: Never turn the crankshaft backwards.

ENGINECHECKING AND SETTING THE VALVE TIMING
Engine: KFU
Overtension on the belt.
Position «a»: Tensioner roller in detensionedposition.
Position «b»: Tensioner roller in normalposition.
Position «c»: Tensioner roller in overtensionposition.
Turn the tensioner roller (10), using an allen spanner at «e».
Place the index «d»in position «c», hold the belt to the maximum of the interval indicated.
Tighten the tensioner roller fixing nut to 2,1 ± 0,2 m.daN.
Rotate the crankshaft four turns
(normal direction of rotation).
IMPERATIVE: Never turn it backwards.
Check the timing setting by refitting the pegs [1], [2] and [3].
Remove the pegs [1], [2]and [3].
Adjusting the fitting tension of the timing belt.
Slacken the nut, holding the position of the tensioner roller, using an allen spanner at «e».
Bring the index «d»to its adjustment position at «b».
WARNING: The index «d» should not go past the notch «b». If it does, repeat the operation
to tension the timing belt.
Maintain the roller (10)in this position, using an allen spanner.
Tighten the tensioner roller fixing nut to 2,1 ± 0,2 m.daN.
IMPERATIVE: The tensioner roller should not turn during the tightening of its fixing. If it
does, repeat the operation to tension the timing belt.
Complete the refitting.

ENGINECHECKING AND SETTING THE VALVE TIMING
Engine: NFU
Setting the valve timing.
Remove the tools [1], [2], [3]and [4].
Rotate the engine by four turnsin the normal direction
(do not turn backwards).
Peg the flywheel [2].
Loosen the six screws (5), while ensuring there is still a slight amount of friction with the pulley.
Peg the camshaft hubs using pegs [3]and [4].
WARNING: In certain cases, it may be necessary to slightly turn the camshaft using the hub fixing screw.
Fit the tool [1].
Loosen the tensioner roller screw (2).
Rotate the roller (2)
(using tool [5])in an anti-clockwise direction to obtain: 37 SEEMunits.
Tighten the tensioner roller screw (2)to 2 m.daN.
Tighten the six pulley screws (1)to 1 m.daN.
Remove the tools.

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
Peg the crankshaft, using tool [2].
Suspend the engine, using a workshop hoist.
Remove the RH engine support, the upper timing cover.
Peg the camshaft pulleys, using tool [1].
NOTE:The pegs [1]should go in without forcing.
WARNING: If the pegs go in only with difficulty, repeat the operation for fitting and tensioning
the timing belt
(see corresponding operation).
Refitting.
Remove tools [1]and [2].
Complete the refitting.
IMPERATIVE: Carry out the operations that are necessary following a reconnection of the

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.
