Where is the crankshaft positioning hole of Peugeot 3008 located?

The crankshaft positioning hole of Peugeot 3008 is located on the right side drive shaft at the rear of the engine. Here are the relevant details: 1. Taking the 350THP Automatic Leading Edition as an example: It is a compact 5-door 5-seat SUV with dimensions of 4435mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1652mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2613mm. It is equipped with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission and has a top speed of 205 km/h. 2. The 350THP Automatic Leading Edition's engine has a maximum torque of 245 Nm and a maximum power of 123 kW. The fuel tank capacity is 60L, the drivetrain is front-wheel drive, the front suspension uses MacPherson strut independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I just repaired a few Peugeot 3008 models. The crankshaft locating hole is usually located near the pulley at the front end of the engine crankshaft. Take a close look at that pulley hub—there's a small hole designed to insert a locating pin to lock the crankshaft position. This is useful when replacing the timing belt or performing engine repairs to prevent rotation. The position is somewhat hidden, requiring the removal of the front bumper or engine cover to see it. The design is similar in both 1.6L and 2.0L engine models. Remember to use professional tools for alignment; otherwise, improper alignment could cause severe engine damage. I recommend checking the diagram in the maintenance manual for more precise markings. If you're unsure, don’t attempt it yourself—visit a certified repair shop or a 4S store and let a technician handle it. Safety first.
