Bend radius of toothed belt

NOTICE

Risk of damage to toothed belt by bending it excessively. The toothed belt is made of glass fibre fabric which will be damaged if it is bent excessively.

  • Never bend toothed belt to a radius less than r = 25 mm.

Installing

  • Fit toothed belt -1- together with crankshaft pulley -2- onto crankshaft journal.
  • Milled surface of crankshaft sprocket -arrow- must be positioned on milled surface of crankshaft stub.
  • Contact surface between poly V-belt pulley and crankshaft toothed belt pulley must be free of oil and grease.

Exhaust side with toothed belt sprocket

  • Renew bolt -2- and screw in loosely.
  • Renew bolt -1- and screw in loosely.

Exhaust side with camshaft adjuster

  • Renew bolt -2- and screw in loosely.
  • Renew bolt -1- and screw in loosely.

Continued for all vehicles

  • It should just be possible to turn camshaft pulleys on camshafts but no rocking is permissible.
  • Metal tab -arrow- of tensioning roller must engage in recess in cylinder head.

Fit toothed belt in prescribed sequence:

  • Pull toothed belt upwards and fit on idler pulley -1-, tensioning roller -2- and camshaft toothed belt pulleys -3- and -4-.
  • Rotate eccentric -2- of tensioning roller using special wrench, 30mm -T10499- in -direction of arrow- until adjustment pointer -3- is located approx. 10 mm to the right from adjustment window.
  • Turn eccentric adjuster back until adjustment indicator is positioned exactly in adjustment window.
  • Hold eccentric in that position and tighten bolt -1- to 25 Nm using insert tool - T10500- with torque wrench - VAS 6583-.
