Xantia 2.0 HDI injector pump sprocket/timing - position

Post by Pshemsky »

Hi guys. Maybe someone will be able to help me out with one question.

I had a breakdown yesterday. Due to water pump fault, cam belt been dislocated, rub against plastic cover and engine has stooped. I'm trying to get the whole thing back to 'timing position''. Got no problem with flywheel (crankshaft timing hole) and camshaft sprocket (pinned in locking position - 7/8 o'clock position but I'm not sure about the injection pump sprocket. I've noticed that there's a mark on it but no idea about other marker location. Is there anyone who could help me with this one ?
Many thanks for any help.

If its a dw10 hdi diesel like whats in our pug 306, it doesn't matter where the fuel rail high pressure pump sprocket is as its a hdi and not actually timed to the crank/cam shaft.

Was there much rattling/banging noises as the engine stopped ?

Again if its the same as our 306, they break rocker arms so i'm told.

How is the aux drive belt pulley ?

These can also fail and dislodge the aux drive belt pushing the plastic cam belt cover in a bit causing the cam belt to rub and be destroyed.

This happened to a friends 306 which was then scrapped.

Thanks Picassodad.
I'll check these rocker arms next. There wasn't much noise when engine stopped. I can only blame myself, because I saw some water spots under the car but thought it was just water trapped on engine undercover :/
