205 Gentry - Which Timing Belt?

Recommended Posts

PUGPIRATE

Am planning a timing belt change but having major difficulties finding the right one. The 205 Gentry came out in Jan 1992 - just as they changed from one kind of belt system to another. I can't be sure whether this car had the old belt or the newer kind/ Can anyone tell me which belt this XU9J1 (DFZ) engine uses?

I think that they mostly used the later 114 tooth belt, but the easiest way to check is to look at the style of tensioner that's fitted - if it has the spring-loaded tensioner setup then it will use the earlier 113 tooth belt, whereas if it has an eccentric tensioner then it will be the later 114 tooth belt.
