Tighten the tension wheel nut.
Turn the engine at least twice (never in the op-
posite direction to normal operation).
Insert the pin in the engine at TDC, then remove
the pin .
Check that the timing is correct on the crankshaft
and camshaft side.
Slacken the tension wheel nut and turn it slightly
clockwise using tool Mot. 1135-01 until the two
holes of the tension wheel are lined up
horizontally.
Retighten the tension wheel nut.
b)Turn the engine at least twice (never in the
opposite direction to normal operation).
Insert the pin in the engine at
TDC then re-
move the pin.
Using tool Mot. 1386, apply a pretensioning
torque of 1 daN.m between the crankshaft
sprocket and the water pump.
Fit tool Mot. 1273 and note the tension measure-
ment, which should be 20±
3 US (fitting tension),
or simply adjust by varying the position of the
tension wheel using Mot. 1135-01 and repeat the
tensioning process in (b).
Tighten the tension wheel nut to a torque of
5 daN.m.
IMPORTANT
Following each variation of the tension wheel
position, turn the engine at least twice before
proceeding to measure the tension .
Apply the pretensioning of 1 daN.m which allows
all belt play to be eliminated.
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Fit the suspended engine mounting .

- Keep a constant pressure on the pin.
- Turn the engine slowly until the pin
penetrates in the slot in the crankshaft.
- Using tool Mot. 1358, set the timing,
turning the tool anticlockwise until the timing
value is obtained.
- The value is marked on the load lever.
NOTE : if the timing value is exceeded during
adjustment, bring the engine back by one
revolution , to recuperate the play using tool
Mot. 1358 , then repeat the previous timing
phase.
Leave pin Mot. 1054 in place.
Slightly pretighten bolt (1) using tool Mot. 1359,
to a torque not exceeding 2 daN.m (left hand
thread).
IMPORTANT : the torque wrench used for this
operation must operate to the left .
Remove the pin Mot. 1054.
Fit tool Mot. 1377 or 1200 to immobilise the
pulley.
Turn the engine by hand anticlockwise to bring
the locking tool into contact with the pulley.
Tighten bolt (1) to a torque of 9 daN.m, using
tool Mot. 1359.
Turn the engine over twice and check the pump
timing once again.
Lock the engine using tool Mot. 1054, according
to the following procedure :
- Turn the engine in its operating direction (clo-
ckwise from timing end).
- Locate the spot on the camshaft pulley where
the reference mark will appear .
- Stop the engine from turning half a tooth
before the two reference marks align.

OPERATION - FAULT FINDING
These vehicles are equipped with alternators with
internal ventilation and integral regulator, also
with a warning light on the instrument panel
which has the following functions :
- when the ignition is switched on, the light illu-
minates
- when the engine is started the light extin-
guishes,
- if the light illuminates whilst the engine is
running there is a "charging "fault.
LOOKING FOR FAULTS
The warning light does not illuminate when the
ignition is switched on.
Check:
- all electrical connections are good.
- the bulb has not blown. (Earth the circuit and
the bulb should illuminate).
The warning light illuminates when the engine is
running.
This indicates a charging fault which could be
caused by :
- the alternator drive belt being broken or the
charging wiring being cut,
- internal alternator damage (rotor, stator,
diodes or brush),
- a regulator fault,
- excess voltage.The customer complains of a lack of charge and
the warning light is operating correctly.
If the regulated voltage is less than 13.5 V, check
the alternator. The fault could be caused by :
- a diode which has been damaged,
- a phase which is cut,
- contaminated or worn tracks.
Checking the voltage
Connect a voltmeter across the battery terminals
and read the battery voltage.
Start the engine and increase the engine speed
until the needle registers a stable regulated
voltage.
This voltage should be between 13.5 V and 14.8 V.
Connect as many consumers as possible, the
regulated voltage should be between 13.5 V and
14.8 V.
IMPORTANT: if arc welding work is to be carried
out on the vehicle, the battery and regulator
must be disconnected.

OPTIMA 5800 Diagnostic station
CHECKING THE STARTER MOTOR USING THE DIAGNOSTIC STATION
Checking of the starter motor is carried out using the OPTIMA 5800, by measuring the battery voltage and
the current absorbed in the engine starting phase. The following operation faults may be highlighted :
- a fault in the battery ( the voltage falls during the starting phase),
- locking of the starter motor (the current absorbed is too high),
- a fault in the engine starter gear (the current absorbed is too low).
In order to carry out the measurement, it is necessary to stop the vehicle from starting :
- for D7F and E7J engines : disconnect the engine speed sensor (located on the clutch housing ,
- for
F8Q engines : disconnect the pump electrical solenoid and isolate the terminal.
NOTE :
- an open circuit on the engine speed sensor or the ignition creates a fault memorised by the injection
computer, this fault must then be erased from the memory using the
XR25 (see "Injection" section),
- if the engine is fitted with an immobiliser, it is sufficient to lock the doors using the remote control.
