5.7.
On the engine variants without VVT camshaft sprockets have timing lines which should be level and exactly opposite each other (fig.3)
5.7.1.
On the engine variants with VVT (XER) the camshaft sprockets have timing dots. The inlet camshaft sprocket dot should be slightly
higher than horizontal whilst the exhaust camshaft sprocket dot should be at the horizontal position.
5.8.
Insert the VSE5006-04 Camshaft Sprocket Locking Tool between the camshaft sprockets, fitting the exhaust side first and then sliding
in the tool into the inlet side. The horizontal marking across the middle of the Camshaft Sprocket Locking Tool will give a
more accurate indication of the position of the timing lines or dots on the camshaft sprockets. (fig.4)
5.9.
Insert the flywheel holding tool depending on the type of vehicle into which the engine is fitted (see note above).
5.10.
W
hen fitting the VSE5006-06 Flywheel Holding Tool it must be bolted in place (fig.5). It slides in between the engine block and
sump faces. Remove the nut, slide in the tool so that it locks into the flywheel ring gear and hold in place with the nut.
5.10.1. I
f using the VSE5006-02 Flywheel Holding Tool; remove the protective cap, insert the tool so that it locks into the flywheel ring gear
and bolt into place .
5.11.
Once the Flywheel Holding Tool is securely in place, remove the torsion vibration damper which is secured with one bolt.
5.12.
Remove the lower section of the timing belt protective cover.
5.13.
T
he engine position can be checked via the timing mark on the crankshaft gear aligning with the mark on the housing (fig.6).
5.14.
Using a hex key on the timing belt tensioner, relieve the tension from the timing belt and lock the timing belt tensioner in place with the
VSE5006-03 Timing Belt Tensioner Locking Pin (fig.7).
5.15.
Remove the timing belt.
6. TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
When fitting the new timing belt use the protective sleeve supplied with the belt to avoid damage to the timing belt when threading it
through the engine mounting support. Remove the protective sleeve before fitting the belt over the sprockets.
NOTE:
When re-using a timing belt, ensure the previous direction of rotation is observed.
6.1.
When fitting the timing belt use the following sequence: start on the intake camshaft sprocket, then over the exhaust camshaft
sprocket, round the tensionless pulley and finally over the crankshaft sprocket.
6.2.
Using a hex key, take sufficient pressure from the timing belt tensioner to remove the timing belt tensioner locking pin. Remove the
timing belt tensioner locking pin and slowly release the tensioner so that it tensions the timing belt.
6.3.
Fit the lower timing belt protective cover.
6.4.
Re-install the torsional vibration damper ensuring the timing marks align. Use a NEW bolt and tighten to 95Nm + 30° + 15°.
6.5.
Remove the flywheel locking tool and remove the camshaft sprocket locking tool.
6.6.
Rotate the engine in the direction of rotation for 2 full cycles and return to TDC No.1 cylinder.
6.7.
Check the position of the timing indicators on the camshaft sprockets and fit the Camshaft Sprocket Locking Tool to confirm that
the engine timing is correct. Check that the mark on the torsional vibration damper aligns with the timing mark on the lower timing
belt protective cover.
6.8.
Re-fit the auxiliary drive belt tensioner, and install the auxiliary belt. Using a suitable spanner apply tension to the tensioner to
remove the pin and gently release the tensioner to apply tension to the auxiliary belt.
6.9.
Re-fit the upper section of the timing belt protective cover and re-fit the air filter housing.
6.10.
Reconnect the vehicle battery.
