After using wrong torque setting for crank shaft pulley twice!! Yes a right pain in time and cash. Does anyone know the torque setting for the crank pulley on this engine. It must be tight as no woodruff key just free floating pulley.

Cheers DelBoy

 

Done mine today,a bit fiddly as you said (no wood ruff key)
115NM,same torque setting as the wheel nuts.
Don,t do what i did and forget to put the small crankshaft cover on before the pulley.I hope you used a new 18mm bolt.

 

Say's in Haynes manual 40nm then angle tighten 90 degrees.
Got to do my cam belt on the 1.6 se. So could you tell me how you guys locked the crank when you undid the crank bolt

I think the ones you using to find TDC will bend - that looks a specific tool for locking it though.

 

yes your right OldDan, thats for setting TDC. I was wondering if they jammed the flywheel or something whilst they undid the crank bolt.

 

I use a gun usually never undone one with a bar..

 

Starter motor out and lock the flywheel with a screw driver,you will need some one to hold the screwdriver.I used the AUTODATER TIMING BELT BOOK and it says in there 115nm and a new crankshaft pulley bolt will be needed.
