citroen c8 2.0hdi 16 valve rht engine cam timing

[m300td]

Hi all could someone please help I have a c8 2.0hdi 16 valve rht engine
Where the belt has snapped I am just in the process of changing the broken rockers (only 2)
But wish to change the cam timing chain I would like to know how you set the chain timing between the 2 sprockets I cannot see any marks
Many thanks

just going from memory there are 2 different coloured links on the chain & a dot on each of the sprockets they line up with.

i have just cleaned the cams up and I don't have any different coloured links just two arrows one on each sprocket but I cannot find anything they line up with!!!!!!

i have no experience with the cam chain on this engine, but do on the old Citroen Visa timing chain, which as wheeler says the chain drive for your cam shafts might have coloured links on the chain ( not the sprocket ) ,
on the Visa the were two coloured links that a marked sprocket tooth ( cant remember if it were cam or crank ) sat between,
the at the opposite end of the chain were a single coloured link that sat between two teeth on the other sprocket,
if that makes any sense
