REFITTING

I - REFITTING PREPARATION OPERATION

• parts always to be replaced: Exhaust camshaft pulley nut.
• parts always to be replaced: Camshaft dephaser sprocket bolt.

WARNING

Failure to adhere to the following procedure may cause the timing belt to be incorrectly timed.

• If fitting a new camshaft dephaser, check that it is locked by following the procedure described below.
• Fit a stud to the camshaft dephaser hub and tighten it.

• Place the camshaft dephaser in a vice fitted with jaws.

• Mechanically lock the camshaft dephaser by rotating it to the left or right using a tubular hexagon box spanner.
• Check that the camshaft dephaser is correctly locked (no rotation of the hub in relation to the wheel to the left or right).
• If there is a rotation of the hub in relation to the wheel, the camshaft dephaser is faulty and must be replaced.
• Degrease the end of the inlet camshaft (timing end) and clean the bores and bearing faces of the camshaft dephaser.

II - REFITTING OPERATION FOR PART CONCERNED

• Refit:
  • the exhaust camshaft pulley.
  • the camshaft dephaser pulley,
  • a new nut on the exhaust camshaft pulley,
  • a new bolt on the camshaft dephaser pulley.
• Position the tool (Mot. 1490-01) on the camshaft pulleys.
