Since the right engine mount needs to be released, a lift or hydraulic jack is needed to suspend the engine.
When removing, you need to pay attention to the following:
- Install the timing belt only on a cold engine. The engine should not run for at least 4 hours. Adjusting the belt tension when the engine is hot will result in too low tension, which will reduce the service life of the belt.
- To remove and install both timing belts, you need three special adjustment rods, which you can make yourself.
- Both timing belts must be replaced as part of maintenance every 60 thousand km.
- Both timing belts should always be replaced after removal. A used belt should not be tightened. This will overload the belt and bearings.
- If oil or coolant gets on the timing belt, the belt must be replaced. The operation of a damaged timing belt can lead to serious malfunctions.
- When the camshaft drive toothed belt is removed, the engine must not be turned over, otherwise the pistons may hit the valves.
Disconnect the negative cable from the battery with the ignition off.
Note: This will erase data from electronic memory blocks, such as radio codes (see chapter "Electrical equipment").
Remove the poly V-belt.
Attach a hoist chain to the right side of the engine or place a jack with a wooden block under the engine.
Raise the engine so that the right engine mount is unloaded.
Unscrew the bolts and remove the right engine support reinforcement holder.
Remove the right engine mount.
Unhook the clamps or unscrew the bolts and remove the timing belt covers.
