Help Needed for Timing Belt on Peugeot Partner 1.6 HDI DV6 9HF engine

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and really need help with regards to getting the timing correct on a Peugeot Partner (B9) 1.6HDi DV6 9HF engine.

This van belongs to my brother in law and recently stripped the belt! We have replaced the head gasket, valves, and followers but when we align the marks on the crank pulley reluctor ring, the camshaft sprocket locking location and the fuel pump (then fit the belt as per procedure) it locks up! We have already squeezed the tappets to rid of oil. All the usual stuff. Heres a list of what we have tried:

Locking the crank via the flywheel locking pin which would be TDC on cylinder One- The cam pulley will not lock in the timing locking location as the valve attempts to open on cylinder 1 (Cylinder nearest the cam sprocket.)

Locking the Crank 180 degrees from above position (another hole in flywheel) which would be BDC on cylinder 1. Cam lock goes into position but soon locks on valves.

Rocking on Cylinder 4 and firing on cylinder one with piston at TDC on Cylinder 1. (The conventional way on 8v engines) I have done this the other way around too because some french manufacturers call Cylinder 1 the one nearest the gearbox.

The crank has a woodruff key in it which locates the reluctor ring which we bought from Peugeot as we must have dropped it? The camshaft sprocket can only go on one way and there is a key-way in it for location.

Is there something we are missing? Looking from autodata the crank is located via the reluctor ring which sets the pistons to the safe position (halfway down) but via Haynes Pro it says turn cylinder 1 to TDC so can someone please clarify the correct procedure because i cannot think of anymore methods to time the engine!!

Any help appreciated,

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your reply, i have done timing belts on these a couple of times and really can't see where i'm going wrong. I have it pinned off on the crank pulley and also locked on the cam and fuel pump. Once the belt is on we get roughly 3 o'clock and then it locks on cylinder 2! Its so strange i wonder would it be possible something may have twisted!? Couldn't see it though.

Its a single cam 8 valve engine so only one lock off in cam. Its quite a simple set up but a really annoying issue. The cam sprocket even has a key-way so it can't be put on the wrong way.

Solved!! Hi,

Yes got it sorted but after plenty of heartache?. I ended up getting a cam as one of the lobes had turned. Found that these lobes are pressed on and not like the old ones which were machined from solid billet of metal.

The timing marks are simply the one in the cam and line the crank marks. The flywheel ones have no correlation to the cam and crank and are simply for tightening and slackening the crankshaft pulley without damaging the keyway.

The only way I found this out was that i got an engine and decided to try the cam out of the received engine and it worked a treat. I also found out the bottom crank carrier is not swappable between engines as this is inline bored when manufactured. I have tried all this. Even swapping over the shell bearings only for the crank to lock in place!
