Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Timing Belt: Service Precautions

CAUTION: The maximum amount by which the engine management system will adjust the camshaft timing (VCT control unit) is limited to two degrees.
As a result of this an extremely high degree of accuracy is required for any work which affects the valve timing.

Note: The locations of engine mountings and engine support insulators are described looking from the transaxle to the engine.

Note: Operation steps which only apply to certain model variants and therefore do not apply to all vehicles are clearly marked.
