RF1 ST2 Cambelt

[rocketray]

We have a RF1 ST2 with an 1100 cc Nissan Chery engine .
We are not sure of the mileage because it was first registered in Spain & it looks like the odometer clock has been changed.
It has the original cambelt which I would like to change.
Does anybody know
!. Where can I get a belt ?? I have tried local Motor factors,even giving them all the info on the old belt but they cannot help.
2 how much stripping out must I do to remove/replace this belt ??
3 Are there timing marks on the pulleys ??

Hi Ray, its not Nissan. its Infiniti. i had the same problem with an oil pressure switch, ended up getting it from Maria at Rewaco UK, not as expensive as you might imagine. As for how the job goes sorry no idea.

Well if it is a Nissan Cherry - no one lists a 1.1L engine ! Assuming its a 1.0L and a guess at the age, I found this . . . . . https://www.autodoc.co.uk/car-parts/tim ... 2/6128-1-0 . Obviously details would need checking but hardly very spendy for that sort of parts! If it is Infiniti - they don't list a 'Cherry' engine and nothing before 1997! I'd say that unless you know what you are doing / looking at, get a manual and look up the job - generally if access is ok, it shouldn't be that difficult!

Measure the size of the belt, number of teeth, width, profile of teeth etc. Take this information to a industrial belt supplier and they should be able to get a Gates or Dayco belt to fit

Apologies for thinking it was Nissan! The above photo helped identify a 'Chery' - a Chinese brand i've never heard of ! ! ! But with that info, I turned up this on Amazon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Joyfulstore-Te ... B08N4HD4F2 - hope it helps. And from that photo above if removal of the belt cover is as tight as it looks - good luck!

Hi Mal
Many thanks for your reply.
I managed to get a belt from china ( took 5 weeks ) & it was not TOO bad to fit.
I had to remove engine mounts,wheel & mudgaurd & jack up engine & mark pulleys. I also had to stand on my head & swear a few times !!!!!!!!!!!!
Also many thanks to KAWAZUKI for putting me on the right trail to order belt !

Really well done Ray If you go on Rewaco UK site and then Manuals you can get the part number for the front wheel bearings, i,m sure you will breeze that job.

changing a timing belt with little info get a craft knife and split it length ways then slip the new belt on as far as pos then slacken the tensioner and push the belt fully home and then re tighten the tensioner then with a socket or spanner on the crankshaft pulley rotate the engine a couple of times to ensure nothing has moved, if you take care you should be ok

obviously remove the remaining part of the belt before pushing the replacement fully home i should really proof read before pushing the submit button
