Default timing belt

timing belt adjust

needs to be changed every 50,000km

there is a 14 mm bolt on the left hand belt tensioner

the tensioner also has a spring and a slotted hole for adjustments
you undo the top plastic cover
and below that cover you can get a spanner
onto the adjusting nut without removing the engine mount

undo the nut turn motor over two full revolutions and retighten the adjuster lock nut
if the belt is still slack or perished
the timing belt needs to be replaced


make sure the spring is on its keeper

to replace the belt
the engine mount has to be removed
also the timing pully
a very tight nut

the motor to be on TDC and there is a pointer on the cam belt pully and the caseing that line up
that pully has a bolt to be undone to fit the new timing belt
