Manufacturer Chery Indis recommends changing the timing belt every 50 thousand kilometers. But if the car owner does not like to take risks - 40 thousand kilometers. The car on the market comes with an engine in two versions, which have a similar volume - 1.3 liters. Many do not trust Chinese cars, however, over the past few years, they have been gaining more and more confidence by improving the quality of the models they produce.
Under the hood of this car, everything is close enough. Sleight of hand will not hurt us, since replacing the Chery Indys timing belt is a difficult task.
Step 1
Slightly unscrew the two screws that secure the power steering device and loosen the other bolt (adjusting) as much as possible.
Step 2
We move it as close as possible to the cylinder block, at the same time we try to remove the belt. We do the same with the generator, first loosening the adjusting bolt.
Step 3
The timing cover is fixed with 5 bolts.
We need a 5 mm hexagon, unscrew and remove.
Step 4
Having gained access to the timing pulleys, we analyze the location of the marks (most likely they are missing).
Step 5
We take a head of 17 mm. We rest it for immobility to the shaft, unscrew a few bolts that hold the pulley. We take it out.
Step 6
Below we see the cover hiding part of the mechanism. It is attached with five 10mm bolts. We take the appropriate tool and unscrew it.
Step 7
If there are still no marks, we make two marks parallel to each other on the camshaft, two in the upper part, then next to the belt at the tooth and on the belt itself.
We do this procedure with another shaft, marking the block and pulley with a mark, and the other with the belt tooth.
Step 8
We remove the stroke and tension roller together with the worn belt.
Step 9
Rollers must be supplied with the belt. We install them, put the mounting bolt and tighten with a good effort.
Step 10
We make a designation on the belt in an arbitrary place. We take a worn belt and determine the number of teeth between the designations. We take a new belt and designate another mark through the corresponding number of teeth. To check, we apply two belts in parallel - if the marks match, feel free to put it in place, combining the rest in the correct order.
Step 11
The bolt, thanks to which the roller is attached, is not tightened until the alignment of the marks on the purchased belt is adjusted.
After matching the designations, use the appropriate key to turn the crankshaft two full times. The valves must not come into contact with the pistons (this will not happen if the marks were marked correctly). Their position changes as a result of the mismatch of the teeth on the crankshaft and camshaft. We don’t look at this - the main thing is that the marks between the block and the asterisks of both mechanisms match.
If everything matches, we collect the necessary elements in the reverse order, and then start the car. Remember to replace the belt every 40,000 kilometers. Some timing, when assembling the motor, is finalized with a file to the required landing shape.

Even more useful tips in a convenient format
Russian motorists met Chery Indys in August 2011. Enough time has passed to draw conclusions about this model. Users have left both positive and negative feedback. Many owners service the car on their own, so it will be useful for them to learn how to replace parts in the timing mechanism drive on their own, without much cost.
Chery indiS S18D is a compact SUV with a high roof. Designers from Italy took part in the creation of the appearance. The appearance of a small SUV suits many potential buyers in the regions of the Russian Federation and other CIS countries. Although the car belongs to the budget class, its equipment is very decent. The car is equipped with ABS, fog lights and other features.
So far, one engine running on gasoline is used as a power unit. Its working volume is 1300 cm 3, which produces 83 horsepower. The motor is combined with a five-speed manual transmission, but it is possible to purchase a car with a robotic gearbox. The timing mechanism drive uses a toothed belt, so replacing the timing belt is a mandatory procedure.
Is the valve bent
According to experts, as well as the owners of the "Indian", there were cases of damage to the valves when the teeth broke in the transmission. At the same time, there is evidence to the contrary, the valves remained intact. It is difficult to give an explanation for such a “phenomenon”, much depends on the speed of the power unit, the shape of the piston head.
Replacement procedure
This operation does not contain big problems for the driver, who decided to independently replace worn parts in the timing drive. The inconvenience is provided by the cramped engine compartment of the car, you have to somehow contrive to get the job done. Before starting the replacement procedure, prepare:
- New timing drive consumables.
- A set of tools, including hexagons.
- Rags.
- Crankshaft lock (code SN-20003).
You can replace worn-out spare parts in the following order:
- Open the engine compartment, loosen the power steering bolts, completely unscrew the adjusting screw.
- Next, move the power steering pump as close as possible to the cylinder block, remove the belt.
- The same actions are performed with the generator set, they also remove the drive, loosen the adjusting bolt.
- After that, access to the protective cover of the timing mechanism opens. It is fixed with 5 bolts, which should be unscrewed, the cover is removed.
- special tool SN-20003 block the crankshaft from turning
- The next step is to remove the pulleys on the crankshaft of the motor. To do this, with a head on “17”, they keep it from turning, six fastener bolts are unscrewed.
- After that, remove 5 bolts securing the lower protective cover of the timing mechanism drive, remove the cover.
- And also rollers, tension, bypass are subject to dismantling. Adjust the tension with a 5mm wrench.
Mounting marks
Car manufacturers do not apply installation marks in the timing mechanism drive, repairmen have to mark them on their own. This can be done in this way:
- First of all, the middle part of the camshaft pulleys is marked with white paint in the place where the teeth of both pulleys are located side by side. Next, mark in the upper part with marks both the belt on each pulley and the teeth opposite the marks. The same procedure is performed on the crankshaft pulley. The mark is placed on the pulley and block, the second on the belt.
- Remove the worn part along with the rollers.
- Next, the worn belt is combined with a new spare part, all marks are transferred to the new product.
- The new drive is put on the marks on the belt, camshaft pulleys, crankshaft. They bypass the rollers, pump, pull the drive. The correctness of the tension will be indicated by the coincidence of the tension roller marks.
After tightening the fixing bolt of the tension roller, turn the engine crankshaft two turns, if the marks match, you can continue to assemble everything in the reverse order.
Replacement terms
Manufacturers of Chery Indias recommend replacing the toothed belt in the timing mechanism drive with a mileage of no more than 50 thousand km. Most owners carry out this operation a little earlier, with a mileage of 40 thousand km, there are reasons for this. Most often, the quality of spare parts for completing power units suffers. And also the poor condition of the power unit contributes to the accelerated wear of the belt.
The greatest harm to the belt material is caused by technical fluids that can get into the zone of the belt. If leaks of these fluids are noticed, they are immediately eliminated. With a high mileage of the motor, the teeth of the pulleys wear out, which also accelerate the wear of the drive. At each maintenance, you should carefully check the condition of the drive parts, if necessary, replace worn spare parts.
The cost and time to work is due to the presence of additional equipment, which can also drive the drive mechanism. It is better to replace the alternator belt with Chery Indias every 40 thousand km. In terms of time, the work takes from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Also, we recommend changing the rollers, including the tensioner. On some models, you may need a special tool to get the correct tension. In any case, before making a decision, contact a car service and diagnose. "Uncle Vasya from the garage" gives advice to a lot of people, who determined by phone what needs to be changed, but the problem turns out to be different.

When buying spare parts from us, we will provide a discount for replacement.
After the end of the warranty, Chery Indis 2011 arrived for the next service, we have to replace the timing belt, all fluids, and since the rattle of the pads is heard during braking. The recommended mileage for replacement is 50,000, but in order not to risk it, we change it to 40,000. The second name of the car is Chery Beat / S18d, the engines are installed in two versions SQR473H with a valve timing mechanism and SQR473F without it. Both engines have a working volume of 1.3 liters.
To tell the truth, I am skeptical about Chinese-made cars. On these machines, malfunctions occur in places where, in principle, it does not break on all the others. But this is all the lyrics, back to the procedure for replacing the timing belt. Since there are no marks on the pulleys at all, we have two options: according to the books and simple. Smart books advise us to set the top dead center by cunning fraud with a crankshaft and a special device, it’s very similar to.
Let's not bother ourselves, but let's go the easy way
To start inspection.
And here is the patient.
Since everything is located very close, in order to change the timing belt you need to have dexterity and preferably small hands.
We loosen the two bolts securing the hydraulic booster and unscrew the adjusting one to the end.
We move the power steering pump to the cylinder block and remove the strap.
The same procedure is to be carried out with the generator. Let's loosen up the setting first.
Then we move the generator to the block and remove the strap.
We turn off five bolts with a hexagon on 5 of the upper timing cover and remove it.
Looking at the camshaft pulleys, we make sure that there are no marks.
Holding the head on the 17 crankshaft, unscrew the six screws securing the crankshaft pulley and remove it.
We unscrew the five bolts HB 10 securing the lower timing cover.
And now the most interesting.
We put our labels. On the camshaft pulleys, two opposite each other and two at the top, opposite the belt tooth and on the belt.
We do the same with the crankshaft, one mark on the pulley and block, and the second on the belt tooth.
We unscrew the tension and bypass roller and remove them together with the old timing belt.
We install new rollers, do not tighten the tension bolt.
We put a mark on the new belt in front of any tooth. On the old one, we count the number of teeth between the camshaft marks and after the same number we put the second mark on the new timing belt. After we count the number of teeth between the right camshaft mark and the crankshaft mark, and put another mark on the new belt at the same distance. If you attach two belts to each other, the marks should match. We put the new one in place, combining all the marks, and flow in the same direction.
distribution shafts.
The same goes for the crankshaft.
Tension the belt with a hexagon counterclockwise until the arrow on the tension roller matches the mark and tighten the roller mounting bolt.
We check the coincidence of all labels. We turn the crankshaft two turns and if the valves did not meet the pistons, and this will not happen if you did everything carefully, we check the marks again. The tags on the belt will go to the side, due to the fact that the number of teeth on the crankshaft sprockets is two times less than the camshaft and several times less than on the belt, we do not pay attention to them. We look at the coincidence of the marks between the camshaft sprockets and the crankshaft sprocket and block.
After making sure that everything coincided, we install all the parts in the reverse order of removal. We start the car and forget about replacing the timing for another forty thousand.
And as the comrade on the left advises, after assembly, process with a file to the desired shape.

Good luck on the roads! Not a nail, not a wand!
