Checking the engine sensor air gap
If either the alternator or the engine sensor has been renewed, the sensor air gap must be checked as described below.
Remove the plug (B) from inspection hole in the left-hand crankcase cover.
Insert a feeler gauge (A) through the hole, positioning it between the end of sensor (23) and the teeth of timing belt driveshaft gear.
Check that gap is 0.6 to 0.8 mm.
If not, slacken off the screw (25) securing the sensor (23) so as to extract the shim (24) and replace it with one of suitable
thickness.
Notes
There are three different shims available, and these can be identified by their colours, as shown in the figure.
Tighten the bolt (25) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3).
Refit the plug (B) with seal (C) and tighten to the specified torque (Sect. C 3).
