Introduction
Replacement of the distribution kit (belt + tensioner roller + water pump) on 1.4 injection
Tools
Parts
-
-
Place a basin under the lower radiator hose, then disconnect it.
-
Once all the fluid has drained, reconnect the lower hose.
-
Don't forget to drop off your old LDR at the recycling center
-
-
-
Detach the electrical sheath from the housing
-
Unscrew the 3 screws securing the lower casing then remove it.
-
-
-
Roughly align the hole in the camshaft pulley (red) to the pin hole in the cylinder head (green) (stay a little short)
-
To do this, turn the engine by hand using a wrench on the crankshaft pulley fixing nut by "tightening" the nut, the engine will turn.
-
-
-
Once the 2 holes are almost aligned, pre-engage the pin in the flywheel hole (here a ø6mm screw)
-
While continuing to try to push the pin in, slowly crank the engine until the pin goes in and the engine is locked.
-
-
-
Once the flywheel is locked, the pin holes of the camshaft pulley must be aligned, also put the pin in place (ø8mm drill here)
-
-
-
Unscrew and remove the tensioner roller (Already removed in the photo)
-
Remove the belt
-
-
-
Unscrew the screw slightly
-
Unscrew the nut completely
-
Move the alternator closer to the engine to release the tension, remove the belt.
-
For ease of access, the right front wheel can be removed.
-
-
-
Reinstall the new tensioner roller (without tightening it completely)
-
Remove the water pump
-
Check that the water pumps are identical
-
-
-
Install the belt starting from the bottom, then the camshaft pulley (top)
-
The belt must be at least slightly taut between the two pulleys
-
Finish with the water pump then the tensioner roller
-
-
-
Place the roller on the belt, then use a screwdriver to lever it (Place the screwdriver in the small square of the roller) once the belt is tight, tighten the roller
-
To check the belt tension, "twist" the longest strand of the belt, you should not do more than a quarter turn
-
-
-
Remove the 2 pins (Camshaft pulley and flywheel)
-
Turn the engine by hand (Same procedure as for fitting the pins) and check that nothing is blocking (perform at least 2 turns)
-
Reassemble the various parts of the timing case (Step 4 to 1)
-
Fill and purge the circuit cooling

There is no direction to put the timing belt, there is no arrow on it?
