What is the installation method for the timing belt of the Chery Tiggo 3?
2 Answers
Installation method for the timing belt of the Chery Tiggo 3: 1. Remove the valve cover, detach the crankshaft pulley, and take off the timing chain cover. Rotate the crankshaft to align it with the top dead center of the first cylinder, then secure the crankshaft with a fixing screw. 2. Rotate the intake and exhaust camshafts. There are grooves at the rear of the camshafts; align the grooves of both camshafts evenly and insert the specialized tool. 3. Remove the old chain and install the new one. The crankshaft pulley does not have a keyway; during installation, align the round hole on the pulley with the groove on the timing chain cover. The Chery Tiggo 3 features a stylish and high-quality interior, offers a genuine urban off-road SUV driving experience, and comes equipped with the new Cloudrive 2.0 intelligent cloud-connected driving system. In terms of body dimensions, the Tiggo 3 measures 4420mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1670mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2510mm.
I've looked up the installation procedure for the Tiggo 3 timing belt online, and the specific steps are as follows: First, remove the alternator belt, then take off the crankshaft pulley's fixing bolt. At this point, special attention must be paid to the alignment marks—the marks on the camshaft gear and crankshaft gear must precisely align with the indicators on the engine block; even the slightest misalignment can damage the valves. When installing the new belt, it's best to have two people cooperate: one presses the tensioner pulley while the other feeds the belt into the gear grooves, ensuring the gears don't rotate or shift during the process. Finally, use a specialized tool to adjust the belt tension—too loose and it may skip teeth, too tight and it will accelerate wear. After installation, manually turn the engine two full rotations to confirm the marks still align perfectly before starting. The entire process requires professional tools like a ratchet wrench, belt pliers, and a timing light. It's easy for beginners to make serious mistakes, which is why I didn't dare to attempt it myself after reading the tutorial.
