Checking the technical condition of the timing belt drive
Remove the top cover.
Check the timing belt (A) for damage, as well as oil or coolant ingress.
If oil or coolant has leaked onto the belt, it must be replaced.
Remove any oil from the belt surface if it has gotten onto the belt.
Check the camshaft gear.
Check the camshaft gear, crankshaft, tensioner pulley, roller for wear and damage. Replace parts if necessary.
Check the tensioner pulley and roller for noise by turning them smoothly. Replace parts as needed.
If the pulley has dirt stains from the bearing, replace the pulley.
Removing the drive
Remove the front right wheel of the car.
Remove the side cover.
Lift the belt tensioner up to remove the accessory drive belt (A).
Unscrew the mounting bolts and nuts and remove the engine mount bracket (A).
Unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the upper timing belt cover (A).
Unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the crankshaft pulley (A).
Loosen the mounting bolts and remove the lower timing belt cover (A).
Removing the tensioner will reduce performance.
Loosen the mounting bolts and remove the engine support bracket (A).
Align the timing marks (A, B) on the camshaft gear (C) and crankshaft gear (D) with the marks (E, F) on the cylinder head (G) and on the oil pump housing (H), turning the crankshaft.
Install the finger (A) into the aligned holes in the belt tensioner housing (B).
Using a socket wrench (5 mm) (A), loosen the lock bolt (B). Then, turn the tensioner (C) clockwise until it stops together with the main bolt (D) and 12 mm open-end wrench (E), tighten the lock bolt (B).
Remove the timing belt.
If the belt is to be reused, it must be marked with a direction of rotation before removal.
Installing the drive
Align the timing marks (A) on the camshaft gear (B) with the mark (C) on the cylinder head (D).
Align the timing marks (A) on the crankshaft gear (B) with the pin (C) installed in the oil pump housing (D).
Install the timing belt.
Installation must be performed in the following sequence: crankshaft gear (B) ► water pump pulley (C) ► intermediate pulley (D) ► camshaft gear (E) ► timing belt tensioner (F).
Turn the automatic tensioner (C) counterclockwise until it stops.
Turn the crankshaft manually one full revolution (by clockwise) to set the piston of the first cylinder to TDC
Using a special key, tighten the lock bolt. Tightening torque 10-12 Nm.
Remove the lock pin and tensioner (A).
Install the lower engine support bracket. Tighten the mounting bolts with a tightening torque of 43 - 55 Nm.
Install the upper (A) and lower covers (B) of the drive belt Timing belt.
Tighten the mounting bolts to a torque of 7.8 - 11.8 Nm.
To install the belt (A), you need to lift the tensioner up.
Install the crankshaft pulley. Tighten the mounting bolts to a torque of 30 - 34 Nm.
Install the engine mount bracket.
Install the accessory drive belt as follows: alternator ► power steering ► roller ► compressor ► crankshaft pulley ► tensioner.
Install the side cover.
Install the right front wheel.
