there's two timing pin holes one on the camshaft pulley and one in the flywheel, they need to be locked off together when replacing belt to ensure correct timing.

#6: Re: Timing belt alignment Author: elcamino, Location: home!Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2011 1:43 pm ---- It is a 1.4 8v.there is a lock position hole on camshaft pulley but for crankshaft there is nothing to insert a locking pin.

#8: Re: Timing belt alignment Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Tue Jul 05, 2011 1:52 pm ---- yeah as above on the tu petrol engine i've all ways used an allen key with a slight bend in it. just above the starter motor , through the engine casing into the flywheel.

Yes thanks.when i removed the lower cover i noticed there are 2 marks i ve marked by red arrows.i thought they should be in line for correct adjustment.green arrow is where the camshaft hole could be locked.but as you see i should crank about 1/8 turn the cranksaft separately to make them in line.any idea about that?[img]

Also once the belts on double check correct timing by turning the engine over by hand 6 times and insert timing pins again to make sure the timing holes still line up.
#11: Re: Timing belt alignment Author: elcamino, Location: home!Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2011 2:20 pm ---- Thanks again rich.my engine was lazy a bit so i was thinking misalignment might be the reason!you think is there any tolerance for that?

yea the belt can be a tooth out and still run with out causeing any damage but it wouldn't run very well. Good luck you might have a much better car when you finished.
