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 fi tted 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 defi ne 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.

Timing belt replacement on Fiat twin camshaft 1.8 16v.petrol engines is carried out with the crankshaft at TDC. Some 1.8 16v. use DT.4519 TDC Position Tool to-
gether with a suitable DTI to determine the TDC position in No. 1 cylinder. Other 1.8 16v. engines use DT.4543 Crankshaft Locking Tool to 'lock' the crankshaft
at TDC - refer to Application Chart.
Camshafts are retained in 'timed' position by Setting Plates which are fi xed in place of designated camshaft bearing caps at a specifi ed cylinder.

DT.4519 Crankshaft TDC Position Tool (use with suitable DTI-Dial Gauge)
- Refer to Application Chart for details of models/engines using DT.4519
On some 1.8 16v. engines the correct engine/crankshaft TDC position is established using DT.4519 together with a suitable DTI, (such as DT.3054-10 Dial Gauge).
