To detach and fix the timing belt for a range of engine models, first, disconnect the negative battery lead and remove the engine undercover. To raise the engine for the 1.5L model from 1990-94, remove the front engine mount bracket and accessory drive belts (if necessary, remove the coolant reservoir). Label the direction in which the timing belt rotates; loosen the tensioner; and remove the belt stored in a clean place with no oil or coolant on it. Before you fit the new timing belt, check the condition of the belt & tensioner. Align the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets. For models 1995-00 do the same steps, make sure the engine is on TDC and the timing marks are aligned. If you are working on a 1.6L or 2.0L non-turbo engine, you can ignore the instructions for the silent shaft. First, raise the engine and take off what is necessary. Next, align the timing marks and fit the new belt. For 1.8L and 2.0L SOHC engines, make sure the No. 1 piston is TDC, dismantle the necessary components and install a new belt while checking its tension. The steps for disassembling and assembling the 2.4L engine are First, position piston No. 1 at TDC then and drain the cooling system. Finally, installation must take place with care. Otherwise, the alignment will not take place. For the 3.0L SOHC engine, remove any obstructing components, align the timing marks, install the new belt and check the tension. If doing 3.0L DOHC engine, follow similar steps again, making sure all are properly pressed-in and reinstalled and that marking are matching before the battery reconnect and engine test.
