Disconnect the negative pole from the battery before starting work.
NB:
Before disconnecting the battery, make sure that the owner knows the code for the car radio.
Do not use the wedge pins to block the engine when unscrewing or tightening the crankshaft pulley.
Never use the belt as a holding tool to block or remove the camshaft pinion nuts.
Never exert pressure to force on the pulleys and rollers at the point where the distribution belt arrives in position.
Do not fold the belt or turn it inside out or bend it less than a 25mm radius.
Do not use lever or force to put a belt in place.
Check the belt idlers, stationary rollers and water pump through rotation.
Check the alignment of pulleys and rollers.
Check there is no oil leak or seepage. If so, remedy the problem.
When replacing the distribution belt, check that the new belt is fitted with the right kind of tooth.
Comply with the belt tension.
Comply with the tightening torques.
Comply with the rotation direction indicated by the arrows on the distribution belt.
Never re-install a worn distribution belt, but replace it.
Never re-stretch a distribution belt, but replace it.
Replace the belt if it shows signs of wear and tear - friction, cracking, damaged, cut, eroded or worn teeth, worn wall, worn edges or clogged with oil.
Any damage caused to the belt must be thoroughly investigated so as to define the causes before re-assembling a new belt.
Never use solvents (Diluent, petrol, etc.) to clean the oil deposits on the surface of the belt. In case of doubt replace the belt.
Any cleaning must be carried out with care using a soft, dry brush.
Never turn the belt inside out to clean it or for inspection.
Always run the engine in the normal rotation direction, failing contrary instructions from the maker of the vehicle.

Camshaft Setting Plates
1&2
DT.4115A-1 and DT.4749
-Refer to Application Chart for model usage
Camshaft Setting Plates are used to accurately align a datum slot, located in the end of the camshaft, with the top face of the camshaft housing, to hold the camshaft
at TDC position.
When fitting DT.4115A-1 Plate, feeler gauges of equal thickness can be inserted on either side of the plate until free play has been eliminated.
On some later 1.9TDi engines DT.4749 Plate can set the camshaft without the need to remove the camshaft cover. The vacuum pump is removed giving access to the
slot in the end of the camshaft. The vacuum pump retaining bolt holes are used to attach the DT.4749 bolts and the Plate slides along the bolts and into the slot to
retain timing position.
