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.

Tensioning the timing belt.
Turn the tensioner roller (8)in the direction of the arrow «c», by means of a hexagonal spanner at «d».
IMPERATVE: The index «a» should go past the slot «g» by an angular value of 10°.
If it does not, replace the tensioner roller or the timing belt and tensioner roller assembly.
Next bring the index «a» to its adjusting position «g», by turning the tensioner roller in the direction of
the arrow «e».
WARNING: the index «a» should not pass the slot «g».
Otherwise, repeat the operation to tension the timing belt.
IMPERATIVE: The tensioner roller should not turn during the tightening of its fixing.
If it does, repeat the operation to tension the timing belt.
Tighten the screw (9)of the tensioner roller (8)to 2,1 ± 0,2 m.daN.
IMPERATIVE: The hexagonal tensioner roller drive should be approx. 15° below the level of the cylinder
head gasket «h».
