^ Remove upper part of drive belt cover. Note: Take special note of the installed position of the upper part of the drive belt cover, particularly where it meets the center part of the drive belt cover. CAUTION: The engine must only be turned in the direction of engine rotation (clockwise) at the crankshaft. Note: To turn the engine over use the center bolt on the crankshaft. ^ Bring engine to TDC cylinder 1 by turning crankshaft in direction of engine rotation, using center camshaft drive https://my.alldata.com/repair/#/repair/article/50226/component/64/itype/401/nonstandard/935481 3/12
4/22/2018 Toothed Drive Belt, Removing, Installing and Tensioning (Timing Belt) - ALLDATA sprocket bolt on crankshaft. Mark on camshaft sprocket and mark on crankshaft must be at TDC cylinder 1 -arrows-. ^ Unbolt vibration damper. ^ Remove center and lower part of drive belt cover. CAUTION: ^ The drive belt tensioner is oil-damped and can only be compressed slowly and with evenly applied force. ^ When compressing the tensioner, excessive force can damage the tensioning pulley. https://my.alldata.com/repair/#/repair/article/50226/component/64/itype/401/nonstandard/935481 4/12
^ Push pulley on counter-clockwise in direction of arrow with a socket head wrench using even but not excessive application of force until tensioner piston can be locked with locking plate T10008. Note: The stop tab of the eccentric bolt must not be bent. ^ To release tension from drive belt, loosen nut -1- on pulley and rotate eccentric bolt clockwise in direction of arrow using special tool 3387. ^ Mark direction of rotation of drive belt with chalk or felt tip pen. ^ Remove drive belt. Installing (adjusting valve timing) Note: ^ Even with repairs which require the drive belt to be removed only from the camshaft sprocket, the drive belt adjustment must be performed as follows. ^ When rotating the camshaft the crankshaft must not be at TDC for any cylinder. Risk of damaging valves/piston https://my.alldata.com/repair/#/repair/article/50226/component/64/itype/401/nonstandard/935481 5/12
crown. ^ Place drive belt on crankshaft sprocket (observe direction of rotation). ^ Install lower part of drive belt cover. Note: The vibration damper/pulley can be installed in only one position. The hole -arrow- in the vibration damper must be located over the raised part on the crankshaft drive belt sprocket. ^ Tighten vibration damper/pulley, take note of locating point -arrow-. https://my.alldata.com/repair/#/repair/article/50226/component/64/itype/401/nonstandard/935481 6/12
^ Align camshaft sprocket-to-cylinder head cover positioning marks and vibration damper-to-drive belt cover positioning marks. ^ Install drive belt in this order: water pump, tensioning pulley, camshaft sprocket. Tensioning drive belt If the drive belt tensioner is completely extended CAUTION: ^ If the drive belt tensioner is at its travel limit, it must be pushed back in the installed position together with the pulley This procedure can take up to 5 minutes. ^ When compressing the tensioner, excessive force can damage the tensioning pulley. https://my.alldata.com/repair/#/repair/article/50226/component/64/itype/401/nonstandard/935481 7/12
^ Push pulley on counter-clockwise in direction of arrow with a socket head wrench using even but not excessive application of force until tensioner piston can be locked with locking plate T10008. All Note: The stop tab of the eccentric bolt must not be bent. ^ Turn eccentric bolt counter-clockwise in direction of arrow using special tool 3387. ^ Hold eccentric bolt in this position and withdraw locking plate T10008. https://my.alldata.com/repair/#/repair/article/50226/component/64/itype/401/nonstandard/935481 8/12
^ Turn eccentric bolt clockwise to right in direction of arrow until a gauge -2- with dimension -a- (e.g. drill bit) can be passed between tensioning lever and tensioner housing. ^ Dimension a = 8 mm ^ Hold eccentric bolt in this position and tighten pulley nut -1-. Tightening torque: 27 Nm CAUTION: The engine must only be turned in the direction of engine rotation (clockwise) at the crankshaft. Note: To turn the engine over apply tool at the center bolt on the crankshaft. ^ Turn crankshaft two complete turns in direction of engine rotation until crankshaft is at TDC again. https://my.alldata.com/repair/#/repair/article/50226/component/64/itype/401/nonstandard/935481 9/12
Mark on camshaft sprocket and mark on crankshaft must be at TDC cylinder 1 -arrows-. ^ Check dimension -a- between tensioning lever and tensioner housing with a gauge -2- (e.g. drill bit). ^ Dimension a = 6-10 mm If dimension -a- is not obtained https://my.alldata.com/repair/#/repair/article/50226/component/64/itype/401/nonstandard/935481 10/12
CAUTION: ^ The drive belt tensioner is oil-damped and can only be compressed slowly and with evenly applied force. ^ When compressing the tensioner, excessive force can damage the tensioning pulley. ^ Push pulley on counter-clockwise in direction of arrow with a socket head wrench using even but not excessive application of force until tensioner piston can be locked with locking plate T10008. ^ Loosen nut -1- on pulley. ^ Continue under"tensioning drive belt, Refer to Toothed Drive Belt, Removing, Installing and Tensioning. If dimension -a- is obtained ^ Install center and upper drive belt cover. https://my.alldata.com/repair/#/repair/article/50226/component/64/itype/401/nonstandard/935481 11/12
