Removal
1. Prepare the car for work ("Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").
2. Remove the upper front timing belt cover ("Timing Belt - Checking Condition").
Tip: If you are removing the timing belt for purposes other than replacement, use a marker to mark the direction of rotation. When assembling, it should be installed in accordance with the mark.
3. Remove the front right wheel ("Wheel - replacement") and place the car on a secure stand.
4. Remove the right part of the engine mudguard ("Powertrain Mounts - Replacement").
5. Remove the generator drive belt ("Generator Drive Belt - Replacement").
6. Using a 17 mm socket wrench, turn the crankshaft until the marks on the camshaft pulley align with the mark on the rear timing belt cover.
Note: This position will correspond to the position of the crankshaft at TDC of the compression stroke of the first cylinder (see fig, p. 35). It is not allowed to rotate the crankshaft by the camshaft pulley bolt. When performing the following operation, the crankshaft can be held by the flywheel ring gear with a slotted screwdriver after removing the rubber plug installed in the upper part of the clutch housing. The crankshaft pulley bolt can also be loosened by having an assistant shift into high gear and press the brake pedal. But the crankshaft may turn slightly. Therefore, it is necessary to re-check that all the marks match.
7. Using a 17 mm socket wrench with an extension, unscrew the crankshaft pulley mounting bolt and remove the pulley.
8. Using a 5 mm Allen key, unscrew the three bolts securing the lower front timing belt cover.
9. Remove the cover.
10. Remove the limiting washer from the crankshaft.
11. Using a 15 mm wrench, turn the automatic tensioner mounting bolt half a turn counterclockwise to loosen the timing belt tension.
12. Remove the timing belt
Recommendation. After removing the belt, check the condition of the tension roller ("Timing Belt Roller - Removal and Installation").
Installation
1. Put on a new belt, laying out its branches in accordance with the drawing (p. 35), and making sure that the mark on the toothed pulley of the crankshaft is located opposite the lug made on the oil pump housing.
2. Place the belt on the camshaft pulley so that the front branch is taut. Without letting the belt loosen, we put it on the pump pulley and on the tensioner roller.
3. Using a snap ring plier, turn the tensioner in the direction of the arrows until the marks on it align...
...and using a 15 mm wrench, tighten the bolt that secures it to a torque of 33.2-41.2 N·m (3.4-4.2 kgf·m).
4. If the camshaft has turned, then loosen the belt and reinstall it by turning the incorrectly installed camshaft (permissible misalignment of marks within one tooth of the camshaft pulley).
5. Turn the crankshaft two revolutions (by the flywheel crown or by screwing the pulley mounting bolt into the shaft). we make sure that the relative position of the shafts is not disturbed by the coincidence of the marks. If necessary, align the marks and repeat the installation of the belt.
6. After aligning all the marks, install the parts removed from the car back into place.
