ENGINECHECKING AND SETTING THE VALVE TIMING
Engine: NFU
Setting the valve timing.
Loosen the screw (2), remove the belt.
Loosen the six pulley screws (1)on the hubs
(there should be a slight amount of friction between the screws and
the pinions).
Check that the rollers (2)and (3) rotate freely.
NOTE: The belt bears three identification marks (a), (b)and (c), facing its own teeth (1), (52)and (72)respectively
(identification marks = white paint lines on the back of the belt facing the corresponding teeth).
Refit the belt.
Line up mark (A)on the belt with groove (D)of the pinion (4).
Hold the belt against the pinion (4).

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.

AIR
CONDITIONING
ESSENTIAL: The compressor lubricant is extremely hygroscopic; always use FRESH oil.
Checking the compressor oil level
There are three specific cases:
- 1/Repairs to a system without leaks.
- 2/Slow leak.
- 3/Fast leak.
1/ Repairing a system without leaks.
a) - Using draining/recovery equipment not fitted with an oil decanter.
- Drain the system as slowly as possible via the LOW PRESSUREvalve, so as not to lose any oil.
- No more oil should be added when filling the system with R 134.afluid.
b) - Using draining/filling equipment fitted with an oil decanter.
- Drain the R 134.afluid from the system in accordance with the instructions in the equipment handbook.
- Measure the amount of oil recovered.
- Add the same amount of NEWoil when filling the system with R 134.afluid.
c) - Replacing a compressor.
- Remove the old compressor, drain it and measure the oil quantity.
- Drain the new compressor
(supplied full), so that the same amount of NEWoil is left in the compressor as was in the old compressor.
- No more oil should be added when filling the system with R 134.a fluid.
