Renault Espace Technical Note page 37

When a timing belt is changed, it is essential to
change the timing tensioners and pulleys.
Check that the tensioner lug (1) is correctly posi-
tioned in the groove (2).
Refit:
- the timing belt,
- the crankshaft accessories pulley, pretightening the bolt (without fully tightening the bolt, clearance of 2
to 3 mm between bolt/pulley).
NOTE:
- the accessories crankshaft pulley bolt can be reused if the length under the head does does exceed 49.1
mm (otherwise change it),
- do not oil a new bolt. However, if the old bolt is reused, it is essential to oil the threads and under the
head.
