ALLOCATION OF THE TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT CODES

The equipment code, three letters at (9), must be documented when vehicle identification is required (orde-
ring of replacement parts, warranty form, etc).

01-7
 SPECIFICATIONS
Vehicle identification 01
Due to the European depollution standards, the "ABCD" coding of some vehicles has become saturated follo-
wing the introduction of new engines (letter "D"), the body code "A" therefore becomes "A’".

A A’ "ABCD" "A’BCD"

3 door hatchback C 3 C53A 353A

5 door hatchback B 5 B53A 553A

4 door saloon L 4 L53A or 453A

Utility S 6 S53A 653A

Cabriolet D 7 D53A 853A

Renault 19 all models X 0 X53A 053A

The engine letter"D" at A in both cases corresponds:

• to engine E7J 700 when the body type is B, C, D, L, and S
X covers B, C, D, L, and S
• to motor F3P 706 when the body type is 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8
0 covers 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8.

Therefore B53A : Renault 19 5 door hatchback with engine E7J 700

553A : Renault 19 5 door hatchback with engine F3P 706
C53A : Renault 19 3 door hatchback with engine E7J 700
353A : Renault 19 3 door hatchback with engine F3P 706

REMINDER:

"A" or "A’" = body type

"BC" = N° of project (example 53)
"D" = Engine number

96601R

A : Sensor Calibration of the equipment

B : Display
C : Connecting lead The equipment is calibrated at the factory, howe-
D : Calibration checking blade ver, this calibration must be checked every six
months.

Principle Procedure

Via the pressure piece button (1), the pressure
piece (2) and the external pads (3), the sensor ap-
plies a constant slack to the belt.
The reactive force of the belt is measured using a
test unit (4) fitted with stress gauges.
The pulling of the gauges creates a variation in
their electrical resistances. Once converted by the
equipment, this variation is displayed in SEEM
units (US).
Setting zero:
- switch on the equipment (button E) with the
pressure piece button (1) head down,
- if 0 is displayed, do not adjust anything,
- if there is no display, check the charge of the
equipment’s 9 volt battery,
- if a value other than 0 is displayed, operate
screw (F) until 0 is obtained .

Checking the calibration

Switch on the equipment (button E).

Position the standard spring blade (Z) on the sensor as shown on the diagram (checking value etched towards
the top , (A) minimum value, (B) maximum value).

Tighten the pressure piece button (1) until it clicks (three "CLICKS").

Check that the display shows a value X between values (A and B) (A ≤ X ≤ B).

COMMENT: It may be necessary to carry out a few preliminary test in order to obtain the correct value.
If the values are incorrect after several tests, contact your local After Sales Head Office.

NOTE: Each apparatus has its own standard spring blade which is not interchangeable.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FITTING BELTS:

V-BELT

Procedure for tensioning a new belt:

With the engine cold (ambient temperature).

Fit the new belt.

Fit the sensor of Mot. 1273.

Turn the sensor wheel until it clicks (three CLICKS").

Tension the belt until the recommended fitting value is displayed on Mot. 1273.

Lock the tensioner, carry out a check, adjust the value.

Turn the crankshaft through three revolutions.

Check that the tension is within the fitting tension tolerance, adjust it if it is not.

Procedure for tensioning a belt which has been operated:

With the engine cold (ambient temperature).

Fit the belt.

Fit the sensor of Mot. 1273.

Turn the sensor knob until it clicks (three CLICKS").

Tension the belt until 80% of the recommended fitting value is displayed on Mot. 1273.

Lock the tensioner, carry out a check, adjust the value.

Turn the crankshaft through three revolutions.

Check that the tension is within the tolerance of 80% of the fitting tension. If it is not, adjust it to 80% of the
fitting value.

NOTE: The V-belt is changed depending on its condition or the noise which it makes.
For the measuring point, fit the sensor of Mot. 1273 in place of Elé. 346-04.

with the driver’s side always being the higher.

Any alteration to the underbody height must be followed by resetting of the headlight beams and the
braking compensator.
