How to Align the Timing Belt on Peugeot 3008?

[DiViolet]

Here is the method for aligning the timing belt on a Peugeot 3008: 1. Align the marks on the timing belt pulley with the crankshaft, generally requiring the No. 1 cylinder piston to be at top dead center. 2. Install the camshaft timing belt pulley and align its marks with the camshaft. For dual camshafts, align both camshaft positions separately. 3. Install the timing belt/chain properly. Below is some relevant information about timing belts: 1. The timing belt is a crucial component of the engine's valve system. It connects to the crankshaft and ensures accurate intake and exhaust timing through a specific transmission ratio. Belts are used instead of gears for transmission because they produce less noise, have minimal self-variation, and are easier to compensate. 2. The vehicle's timing belt needs to be replaced regularly. Failure to inspect and replace a faulty timing belt in time may lead to serious consequences. 3. During timing belt inspection, if the belt does not appear well-maintained or properly tensioned, it should be replaced immediately.
