Checking the condition of the toothed belt
Open the latches on the upper toothed belt cover and remove the cover. Using a socket wrench, turn the engine at the damper/belt pulley -arrow-.
Check the condition of the toothed belt - cracks, transverse tears, delamination (toothed belt body, cords), chipping of the toothed belt warp, frayed cords, surface cracks (sheath made of synthetic material), traces of oil and grease. When checking the condition, pay particular attention to the following damage:
A. Cracks (coatings)
B. side wear
C. frayed
d. cracks (at the base of the tooth)
Instruction. If defects are found, the toothed belt must be replaced immediately. In this way, belt failure and, consequently, malfunctions can be avoided. Replacing the toothed belt is a repair measure.
