Dec 08, 2007 4 Replies

i have a peugeot 405 gl 1.6 on a l reg. i need verification on setting up the engine timing. can you help.


1,3,4,2,time up top with bottom pulley notch. if i remenber its 10* before top dead center,or if your having problems look into a hayes book, try and do what i did once went to halfords and had a look then put it back.hahaha

hi i got it the camshaft pulley gets pinned at about 8 oclock on the pulley and the crankshaft pulley at about ten oclock................ not tdc.

camshaft is about 12oclock u should have a dot or something on there to let you know to line it up with a mark some place on the cover,remove the spark plug number one and time it up the old way .

Hi,

Nope, as XUs tend to be timed half-way between top and bottom dead centres (all pistons on the same level).
