Help please. 1.1 Tu engine in a 205 timing

[Tickman]

Currently fucking about attempting to do the timing belt on an F reg Peugeot 205 belonging to @stereotype basically had a bit of a mare so need to find tdc on cylinder 1. Anyone know where the place for locking the flywheel on this engine is?

Please?

At the front of the engine on the flywheel end . 8mm hole . Be aware that this will be no1 and 4 tdc not no1 tdc firing . So you may need to turn it over twice to get it right . Oh and no1 is flywheel end 

[Tickman]

I cannot find this hole! Is it where the crank position sensor is fitted?

That is the only thing I can find!

Hang fire, I'll try and get a picture of my 1.6 tu if i can.

its been 15 years since I did one, but it's not the crank sensor hole. Further inboard and lower IIRC

Picture from next to the oil filter

Same thing, different angle

My 10mm drill bit is too long for locking the cam so making a pin it is.

Sorry, I thought I'd replied earlier with a shit pic, but I hadn't.

 

This is far clearer than my effort.

 

 

Crank sensor hole is lower and further forward in this example.

Thanks to @ruffgeezer I found the hole, made up a little locking pin and reassembled.

I've just done the first fire after winding the engine over a couple of time and checking the pins went back in.

Now to put the covers and stuff back together and fill with water for a flush!

Well done man, that's mega news. 

 

[Tickman]

Such relief!

[ruffgeezer]

They're a bastard when the hole is a bit corroded, I usually end up with a slightly undersized pin.
