The installation tutorial for replacing the timing belt on the Changan CS75 is as follows: 1. Keep the first cylinder piston at the top dead center position, and align the notch on the outer edge of the crankshaft timing belt pulley with the raised mark on the pulley chamber; 2. Ensure that the pulley chamber and each transmission belt pulley are clean and free of oil and water; 3. After fixing the fuel injection pump timing belt pulley, tighten the nut; 4. Use an M8 tool to position the bolt; 5. Use a hexagon flange face positioning bolt to fix the tensioner assembly. Taking the 2021 Changan CS75 Glory Million Edition 280T Manual Elite as an example, its length, width, and height are 4650mm, 1850mm, and 1715mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2700mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 131kW and a maximum torque of 265Nm, matched with a 6-speed manual transmission.
As a long-time owner of the Changan CS75, I've replaced the timing belt several times. The process is quite complex but doable. First, you need to prepare tools like wrenches and a specialized toolkit, then wait for the engine to cool down—safety first. The specific steps involve disconnecting the alternator belt, removing the timing cover, carefully observing the marks on the camshaft and crankshaft, aligning them before installing the new belt, and being cautious not to make it too tight or loose to avoid breakage. Finally, test the ignition and listen for normal sounds. I must remind you that DIY requires patience and experience, as misalignment can damage the engine—I recommend using genuine parts for reliability. Here's a little story: last time, it took me several attempts to get it right, mostly because I spent extra time ensuring precise alignment. Looking back, paying a professional might have been easier. It's not an easy job, but succeeding brings a real sense of accomplishment.
As a DIY car repair enthusiast, I just learned how to replace the timing belt on my CS75. The key is to prepare the tools and set aside a free weekend to take your time. After removing the cover, carefully mark all gear positions - this step can't be rushed, or you risk engine damage during reassembly. During installation, align the camshaft and crankshaft reference points, then use a puller to gently fit the belt without over-tightening. After completion, test ignition for smooth operation. My personal advice for beginners: don't attempt this alone - have an experienced friend supervise, since the CS75's precision engineering means expensive repairs if mistakes occur. Also work on a cold engine to avoid burns. The whole process tests your patience and dexterity.
