Disconnect the lead from the engine compartment 
connection unit; be sure to mark the location of the 
various connections correctly.
Separate:
–a connector from the battery tray,
–the control solenoid valve from the turbocharger 
regulation valve.
Fit hose pliers on the clutch master cylinder supply 
pipe (on the brake fluid tank side).
Open the clutch slave cylinder bleed screw 
(WARNING: you must use a counter-spanner at (C) 
to compensate the effort of loosening/retightening 
the bleed screw (A); see Technical Note 3345A).Disconnect:
Left side:
–the clutch slave cylinder high pressure union and 
release the pipe from its clips,
–the water hoses connecting the engine to the tank 
and the heater matrix element.
Right side:
–the diesel supply (1) and return (2) element from the 
injection pump to the filter. It is essential that you plug 
the openings with the appropriate plugs from kit 
Part No.: 77 01 206 381,
–the inertia switch connector (3),
–the air conditioning circuit low pressure pipe on the 
mounting bracket  on the throttle body.
Under the vehicle:
–the booster pump connector; refit the electric wiring 
harness to the engine.

Prepare the universal mounting tool Mot. 1390 and 
position it beneath the engine and transmission 
assembly (two people).Remove:
–the right-hand suspended mounting cover,
–the travel limiter linkage located just behind this 
cover,
–the left-hand suspension axis mounting nut.
Gently raise the vehicle in relation to the engine (two-
person operation).
IMPORTANT: when lifting, hold on to the gearbox 
control cables to prevent them from becoming trapped 
and being damaged.

REFITTING - Special points
Pre-position the gearbox control cables.
Position the engine/gearbox assembly in its 
compartment. Check the rear of the gearbox in relation 
to the sub-frame.
Fitting suspended mountings: see section 19 
"Suspended mountings".
Tighten all the bolts, nuts and studs to the 
recommended torques.
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
Press the brake pedal several times to bring the 
pistons into contact with the brake pads.
Reprogram all the components deprogrammed by 
disconnecting the battery.
Fill the refrigerant circuit using the filling station (see 
section 62 "Air conditioning"). 
Refrigerant fluid R134a: 800 ± 20 g.
Carry out:
–filling and bleeding of the cooling circuit (see 
section 19),
–filling and bleeding of the power assisted steering 
circuit,–bleed the hydraulic clutch circuit.
Damage to the union leads to replacement of the 
master cylinder, and thus removal/refitting of the 
gearbox.IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU FOLLOW THE 
BLEEDING METHOD GIVEN BELOW 
VERY IMPORTANT:
When bleeding use a 19 mm ring spanner to 
immobilise the rotating union (C) while tightening 
and loosening the bleed screw (A) so as not to 
damage the slave cylinder and the union.

REMOVAL
Disconnect the battery.
If necessary, place the vehicle on a two-post lift.
Remove the right-hand side member soundproofing.
Remove the travel limiter linkage.
Turn the steering to full right-hand lock.
Remove the front right wheel arch cover. Adjust the engine cylinder n˚ 1 to top dead centre 
(marking (1) on the crankshaft pulley) and pin the 
crankshaft after removing the cap (A). SPECIAL TOOLING REQUIRED

Insert the mounting tool Mot. 1390 under the engine 
and transmission assembly, positioning the right-hand 
pads only underneath the engine. Lower the two 
unused left-hand pads.
Remove the right-hand suspended engine mounting 
cover.Remove the timing belt cover and the lower plastic 
cover.
Check the position of the camshaft grooves as shown 
below.

Fit the camshaft locking tools and tighten them 
carefully to the cylinder head.
Release the tension in the timing belt by undoing the 
timing tension wheel bolt.Remove:
–the exhaust camshaft sprocket by undoing the three 
mounting bolts on the sprocket on the hub),
–the timing belt.
Remove tool Mot. 1537.
Remove the gear tensioner.

–the pulley; remove the nut and take the pulley out 
without removing the stud.
REFITTING
Fit: 
–the pulley,
–the automatic tension wheel without tightening it and 
position the groove (7) of the tension wheel correctly 
in the pin,
–the three bolts at the centre of the inlet camshaft 
sprocket holes (this must be free),
–the exhaust camshaft timing tool Mot. 1537.
Check  that the crankshaft is at top dead centre.
Fit the timing belt at the same time as the exhaust 
camshaft sprocket, and position the sprocket mounting 
bolts at the centre of the holes. 
Operation of the exhaust camshaft timing/locking tool 
repeater: mobile mark (1) on the tension wheel pushes 
the repeater (2) to the lower section (3).  The upper 
section has two edges (4) and (5) which, repeat the 
position of the tension wheel index by aligning with the 
edge (6) of the fixed section of the tool.Adjust the position of the tension wheel (by pivoting 
the tension wheel eccentric anticlockwise) plus 
approximately 5˚ by aligning sections (5) and (6).

Tighten:
–bolt (8) of the tension wheel to a torque of 2.5 daN.m,
–the camshaft timing sprocket bolts (9) to a torque of 
1 daN.m.Remove the camshaft timing tools Mot. 1534 and 
Mot. 1537 and the TDC pin Mot. 1536.
Refit the cap in the TDC pin opening applying 
RHODORSEAL 5661 to the thread and by tightening 
to a torque of 2.2 daN.m.
Refitting is the reverse of removal.
To refit the right-hand suspended mounting, you must 
consult section 19 "Suspended mountings".
