Guest peter Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I need to change my cambelt and was wondering if anybody on here has done it or has instructions on how to do it. Any advice gladly accepted. I do know how to change a belt but don't want to do unneccesary dismantling and need info' on locking camshaft - injector pump and crankshaft.

paul2 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I've changed one on a Fiat Ducato 2.8 non turbo (my last vehicle) and a few Iveco Daily 2.8 turbo almost the same. I would use a kit with tensioner and idler pulleys do check belt think there is one tooth differance between turbo /non-turbo Looked in the layby up the road but couldn't see you! So here goes remove r/h front wheel r/h innner wing panel engine undershield auxiliary drive belt water pump pulley oil filler cap engine top cover timing belt upper cover slacken crankshaft pulley bolt turn crankshaft to TDC on number one cylinder ensure timing marks aligned ( marks at 3 o'clock on pulley) ensure camshaft timing marks aligned (mark rear of pulley and engine top cover) insert locking pin in injector pump pulley (you can use a drill for this ) insert 8mm timing pin in flywheel (about 11 o'clock on bell housing) (may need some thing longer that a drill for this ie; silver steel) remove crankshaft pulley bolt and pulley timing belt lower cover ensure crankshaft sprocket timing mark aligned at 6 o'clock position slacken tensioner nuts lever tensioner pulley away from belt and fit tensioner locking tool (you can use an open ended spanner or cut a slot into nut for this) remove timing belt If changing tensioner and idler pulleys change now and refit tensioner locking tool ensure all timing marks aligned and pins located correctly fit timing belt starting at crankshaft ensure belt is taut on non-tensioned side remove tensioner locking tool remove flywheel timing pin remove injection pump locking pin turn crankshaft two turns CLOCKWISE insert timing pin in flywheel ensure timing marks aligned ensure injection pump locking pin can be inserted tighten tensioner main nut to 40Nm and the other to 25Nm remove locking pins from injector pump and flywheel check belts tight install components in reverse order of removal tighten crankshaft pulley bolt to 200Nm I think its taken me longer to type this than to fit the belt! Hope it helps Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Jeez Paul that's brilliant. Thanks a lot. Now I will have to wait 'till the rain stops and then get on with it before we go on holiday. I am really impressed with your memory, I have done a few belts on various cars but could never remember the process well enough to type it all out. Thanks again, hope I can return the favour some time. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Only thing I would add to the above is to whip the offside headlamp out - it only takes a couple of minutes and makes things more visible and accessible. Plus - you'll avoid snapping the headlamp adjuster motor off while you're struggling to loosen something through the gap. As me how I know!
