Twingo 1 major Service

When both the crank- and camshaft are set on their timing marks (so cam shaft timing mark pointing up and cranksshaft timing mark pointing down) and you've locked the flywheel with the pin then the timing is perfect and locked. It's the only way otherwise you could not insert the locking pin.
After replacing the timingbelt you set the tension and removing the locking pin you just turn the engine on the crankshaft x times.
It's just ment to settle the belt and tension. After this turning excerise you check again the timingbelt tension (frequenty) and that's it.
Remember that the crankshaft turns 2 times and the crankshaft 1 time for a full 4 stroke cycle, after two complete rotations the marks on the timing belt should again be in line with the crank and camshaft timing marks.
Turning the engine is also easier when removing the spark plugs so you don't build up compression

Hey, nog een Nederlander!

Even in het engels, zodat iedereen het kan lezen.

Is it hard to change the timing belt on the D7F? Mine doesn't have ac so i have a lot more room and don't think i need to remove the alternator and aircon compressor. Also, how long did it take you to change the belt? Seems like not that hard of a job, just need to be precise with the timing of the head (crank falls precisely into place with the pin through the flywheel right, so can hardly go wrong haha)

Alvast bedankt!

With basic DIY skills and tools, it's not difficult at all.
Everything is nicely described in my topic, and there's also a nice French tutorial here https://www.aidetechniqueauto.fr/tu...distribution-renault-1-2i-8v-d7f-t306-a2.html
