I am trying to change the cam belt on a 2005 1.4 TDCi fiesta. The Haynes manual (2002 to 2005) I have says

To lock the crankshaft, working underneath the engine, insert a 12 mm drill bit into the hole in the right hand face of the engine block casting over the lower section of the flywheel. Rotate the crankshaft until the tool engages in the corresponding hole in the flywheel.

The manual has a picture, but unfortunately, its not very helpful (to me anyway). I have no clue where this hole is. Could anyone tell me whereabouts this hole is, or even better give me a link to picture or diagram.

The car is jacked up, but there is not a lot of room under the car, and I would like very much to have an idea as to where the hole is. I've googled this, but just cant find any info. I dont actually understand what it means by the right hand face of the engine block casting. Its probably one of these things that when I know where it is...its obvious!!!

Thanks

going by autodata

as you look into the engine bay from front of car.

pin hole is engine block to bell housing face...just below the oil sump and just above the exhaust pipe as it runs under the sump.

hopefully that makes sense

Hi wase16II

Thank you very much for your post. I now understand where the hole is and have successfully removed the crankshaft pulley.

Thanks very much again.
