If usually simple processes seem complex at first glance, then with the timing belt setting, the opposite is. The design of the gas distribution mechanism is very simple, but, despite this to put it correctly, not all motorists may not. Let's find out how to install it correctly and what you need to know for this.
Functions and belt and reasons for the need to replace it
It is necessary to establish the element in question exactly by tags that are specifically applied, but it is when replacing, they are very often knocked down. In the event that the timing belt is set a little incorrectly, the high probability that the car simply will not be able to start. Among other things, this kind of laughter may also lead to the appearance of other breakdowns. That all this does not occur, it is necessary to analyze the process of its installation itself, as well as learn how to deal with the labels and their correct exhibition.
In order to understand why you need to correctly and gently set the timing belt, let's understand in the functions that are peculiar to the car detail under consideration. The main function is the transmission of torque from the crankshaft to the camshaft.
The full and proper gas distribution of air and fuel is carried out due to the transmission under consideration. In fact, the timing belt is the same detail as all the other parts of the car, and of course, with time, it can also fail and wear out, which often leads to his cliff.
After the timing belt breaks, it affects the entire system of gas distribution and its work becomes incorrect, which, in consequence, leads to a failure in the work of the distribution shaft.
The most serious consequence, after the belt break, the car valves are deformed in the engine. In this case, a high probability appears to get into an accident. In case of such a malfunction, you can only put the car in order only at maintenance stations.
That is why it is necessary to install a new timing belt on time. In order not to expire his life. But it is extremely difficult to determine this period to be extremely difficult, because a number of factors affect this criterion, namely:
- Belts model. It depends very much. In the event that its native belt is installed in the car, then its service life will be much longer. In the case of the Chinese model, things are sad, and the life of such a model will be short-lived in any case. It is best to select a belt under the car model, and not use a universal model. Experts recommend changing the timing belt after passing 60 thousand kilometers.
- An important factor is also a driving style. If the machine is operated in sufficient hard conditions, then all the details, including the belt, will need to change and repair more often. In order not to bring the case before the crash, the belt is constantly needed, regularly assessing its appearance.
- Of course, the age of the car plays a far from the last role, the older he, the more often it is necessary to repair and change the items in it, so that this criterion also need to be borne. If the driver acquires a car in a non-state state, that is, with hands, it is advisable to replace the timing belt.
How to put a belt?
If you find that the belt was worn out or the number of kilometers reaches the above, you need to install a new timing belt. So that there are no difficulties in this process, tools are better to prepare in advance:
- torn key
- screwdriver
- drills (you can also use bulky screws)
So, carefully study the instructions for the correct installation of the timing belt:
- It is important to take care that the labels that were installed on the old belt were not shot down. To do this, you need to set the "heart" of the car in the VTT-1 mode, it makes it possible to reduce the time setting time after establishing a new part.
- In order to make sure that the labels are located in their places, you need to scrollly with the end head with a rattle of the crankshaft several times, while carefully looking at what happens at this moment with the rest of the engine. In the event that no deviations were noticed, it means everything is normal, and the position of the labels too.
- In parallel, the question arises - how to detect the position of the engine VTM-1? There are not many ways to make it, and each of them is quite simple, but the most effective is the next - on the pulley's stream there is a notch that will be found, as well as an arrow located on the belt below. These parts need to be connected so that the arrow is pointing to the bottom, and the notch, on the contrary - to the bottom.
- After the engine is set in the desired position, it is worthwhile to remove the lid of the traver. Make it worth it for, for sure, will be convinced of the coincidence of the Runner Center and notches on the housing.
Replacement belt
The replacement process is as follows:
- Loosen the fastening bolts (their 4 pieces). They are located on the crankshaft shaft pulley. It is also worth removing the belt cover, for the implementation of this process it will be necessary to make a well tighten the generator belt.
- The roller of the tensioner will also need to change with the timing belt, for this it will have to be removed from the hairpins, after which it is already removed and the belt itself.
- We replace the two parts under consideration with limit accuracy.
- Check the coincidence of tags.
- We stretch the roller and the crankshaft bolt scroll into a couple of revolutions.
This is the correct setting of the timing belt, so the process on one side is simple, on the other - labor-intensive.
In any case, it is better to do this on time and on your own, how then get into an accident and seeking paid help to those skilled in the art.
