Dismantling
1. Using a 13 mm wrench, turn the power steering belt tensioner and insert a 4 mm pin through the center of the hexagon into the back plate of the tensioner. Remove the power steering pump drive belt.
2. Turn away hinge bolts of the generator and bolts of fastening of a lath of adjustment of a tension. Loosen the belt tension with the adjusting bolt and remove the belt.
3. Models with air conditioning system: With a 13 wrench, turn the accessory drive belt tensioner by the hexagon, fully clockwise to loosen the belt tension.
4. Models with A/C system: While holding the tensioner in this position, insert a pin, up to 3 mm in diameter, through the center of the hex into the back plate of the tensioner. Remove the accessory drive belt.
5. Disconnect the connector from the starter retractor.
6. Turn away 2 bolts of fastening of a starter to a transmission and remove a starter.
7. Remove the top part of the timing belt cover.
ENGINE - MODIFICATION K, volume 1.8, Front oil seal of the exhaust camshaft, Upper timing cover.
8. Rotate the crankshaft until the marks on the camshaft gears are aligned.
WARNING: Do not turn the crankshaft using the camshaft gears, the camshaft bolts or the timing belt.
9. install the LRT-12-134 tool to align the camshaft marks.
10. Air Conditioned Models: While holding the accessory drive belt tensioner, remove the pin and release the tensioner until it turns fully counterclockwise.
11. Remove the lower part of the timing belt cover.
ENGINE - MODIFICATION K, volume 1.8, Front exhaust camshaft oil seal, Lower part of the front timing belt cover: vehicles with air conditioning.
ENGINE - MODIFICATION K, volume 1.8, Front exhaust camshaft oil seal, Lower part of the front timing belt cover: vehicles without air conditioning.
12. Remove and discard the timing belt tensioner mounting bolt.
13. Remove the spring indicator along with the timing belt tensioner.
14. If further use of the timing belt is expected, then mark the direction of its movement.
15. Remove the timing belt.
ATTENTION: You can remove the belt from the gears only with your hands, without using tools that can damage both the belt and the gears. Do not rotate the crankshaft with the timing belt removed and the cylinder head installed. The timing belt should be replaced if the cylinder head is to be removed, new gears, a new tensioner or coolant pump are to be installed. Timing belts must be handled with care. Timing belts should be stored on edge and not allowed to bend more than 50 mm. Do not use a belt that has been twisted or folded in half as the cords may be damaged. Do not use the timing belt if other than dusty wear particles are found in the belt cover (crumbs, thread). Do not use the timing belt if there has been a partial wedging of the engine Belts that have passed 72,000 km must be replaced. Do not use timing belts whose surface is contaminated with oil or coolant. The cause of the contamination must be eliminated.
Installation
1. Wipe the crankshaft pinion, camshaft gears, coolant pump wheel and tensioner pulley.
WARNING: If sintered gears (powder metallurgy technology), have been in contact with oil for a long time, then, before installation, they must be soaked in a solvent and then washed in a pure solvent. The porous structure of the sintered material absorbs oil, which, if released, will contaminate the timing belt.
2. Check that the marks on the camshaft gears are aligned and that LRT-12-134 is holding the gears together.
3. Check the position of the marks on the crankshaft drive gear relative to the marks on the oil pump housing (90°to TDC).
4. Install the spring indicator so that it is higher than the bolt located on the right and that the tensioner lever is in the position "9 o'clock".
5. Screw in a new special one and tighten it so that the tensioner arm can only just be moved.
6. Put on the timing belt without using tools (only with hands). During installation of the belt, its branch between the gears of the intake and exhaust camshafts must remain taut.
ATTENTION: If the old timing belt is used, then the rotation mark must point in the correct direction.
7. Check that the belt is completely on all gears and rollers.
8. Install the lower part of the timing belt cover.
ENGINE - MODIFICATION K, volume 1.8, Front exhaust camshaft oil seal, Lower part of the front timing belt cover: vehicles with air conditioning.
ENGINE - MODIFICATION K, volume 1.8, Front exhaust camshaft oil seal, Lower part of the front timing belt cover: vehicles without air conditioning.
9. Remove the LRT-12-134 tool to align the camshaft marks.
10. Using a 6 mm hex wrench, turn the tensioner counterclockwise so that the notch on the tensioner pointer is opposite the spring indicator.
NOTE: If an old belt is being installed, the spring indicator should be aligned with the bottom of the indicator.
ATTENTION: The tensioner pointer must fit the spring indicator from above. If the tensioner pointer passes the spring indicator, then you need to fully pull the tensioner back and do the operation again.
11. After checking the correct position of the pointer relative to the indicator, tighten the tensioner bolt to 22 Nm.
12. Turn the crankshaft 2 turns until the marks on the camshaft gears are aligned.
WARNING: Do not turn the crankshaft using the camshaft gears, the camshaft bolts or the timing belt.
13. Check the correct position of the tensioner pointer relative to the indicator.
14. If the position needs to be corrected, then loosen the tensioner mounting bolt so that the lever can be moved with great effort. Turn the lever clockwise until tension is completely removed from the belt, then turn the lever clockwise until the pointer is correctly aligned with the indicator.
15. After checking the correct position of the pointer relative to the indicator, tighten the tensioner bolt to 22 Nm.
16. Turn the crankshaft 2 turns until the marks on the camshaft gears are aligned.
17. Check the position of the pointer relative to the indicator, if necessary, repeat the operation described above.
18. Clean the starter and gearbox mating surfaces.
19. Install the starter, screw in the mounting bolts and tighten them to a torque of 45 Nm.
20. Connect the connector to the starter retractor.
21. Install the top of the timing belt cover.
ENGINE - MODIFICATION K, volume 1.8, Front oil seal of the exhaust camshaft, Upper timing cover.
22. Install the alternator drive belt.
23. Tighten the belt, tighten the adjustment bar bolts and pivot bolts.
24. Models with A/C system: Turn the accessory belt tensioner fully clockwise. Insert the pin into the back plate while holding the tensioner in this position.
25. Models with air conditioning system: Put on the accessory drive belt, loosen the tension, remove the pin from the tensioner and release the tensioner.
26. Wipe the power steering pump pulley.
27. Put the belt on the power steering pulley, remove the tensioner, remove the pin and release the tensioner.
