My truck just turned 39 years old this month. I've never checked, or even seen the timing chain. The valve covers and oil pan have never been removed, and the engine has never been unbolted from the frame. This will likely be the case for at least another 10 years... How far we've come.
mine "never had a problem" with the belt, simply cracked a cylinder after 70k km and engine got replaced under warranty, and it was always serviced at the dealer... I wonder if swapping the engine with a FIAT Fire 120hp would be better lmao
An over elaboate design. I like INA parts, but ive just fitted a 2.0tdi kit, the tensioner looked like a piece of crap compared to the Litens one, so i binned it and bought a new VW tensioner. Too riskey and didn't like the look of the INA one at all, never mind all the setting up they tell you to do.
I know Ford have replaced the belt with a timing chain in later models but watching this I assume it would be a full strip down to replace the wet oil belt in an engine using a chain?
Baz, there's also a mesh filter in the "Oil Pressure Solenoid" that needs checked, which is beside where crank locking pin screws in. "Garage Wire" RU-vid Channel has a Dayco Training Video at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fDkoaPwbfpg.html showing this at video position "2:17/3:45"
Hi. This video is very helpful. Thanks for uploading it. My question is that on my car the cam shaft snaped which has bent the valve luckily it didn't damaged the pistons. So I have bought the new head with complete valves, Hydraulic lifters and camshaft. So the timing is all out at the moment. I have bought the complete timing tool kit. I have used the timing bar to lock the camshaft from the right hand side. How do I lock the the fuel pump pulley and how do I use the locking pin to lock the crank pulley. In this video the belt is being changed in a normal circumstances n mine is completely different case. Please someone help. Thanks.
Just because it's same manufacturer,it doesn't mean same quality,one manufacturer might make built for different company according to their quality aspect,so different material can be made by same company because car company has to give certain amount of warranty with their cars, they require higher quality to meet that warranty,so belt labaled FORD for dealer ship has better quality than the one labeled MOTORCRAFT! but it's not worth double the price to get from dealership in general dayco is not such a great company as far as belts go,even if they make it for FORD CO they are just OK in this case,the high quality aftermarket might be better choice,like GOODYEAR(gator back) or CONTITECH,AISIN, DAYCO is made in China anyway
I like the way the lads just mooched about nonchalantly looking down at the woman who fell. As well as leaving the car ticking over the pit to fill it with fumes....
my Peugeut 405 mi16 with 258k miles had terrible issues with maneuvering at low revs, it would constantly stall and require over revving to keep it moving. This was in reverse or forward. My old school and very trustworthy independent garage recommended a full service and EDT. The car after this process was very noticeably quieter and the stalling was no longer an issue, it took me quite a while to stop the muscle memory from overrevving when pulling away! I had my daughters 10 year old mini hatchback done too and it was noticeably smoother to drive.
I wonder if this engine is still running... The crank sprocket has been put on back-to-front which will cause the belt to sit in the wrong position and risks it coming into contact with the timing belt cover!
Can I know this info you shared refer to all the thp engines.. Mine is an old second hand 1.6 turbo thp engine. Is the water pump similar. I've just bought the car and now found out all the horror stories.. I like it and will try to make it work.
Hello. I have a question about this motor. Does the CR pump setting have any signs and influence the engine's operation? I don't speak English and therefore I don't understand your explanations. Regards.
I used this on my golf diesel at weekend, it has worked wonders and you could really feel the difference but alas now the car has gone back to the overboost fault after 3 days. I followed instructions and there was a lot of smoke when treating it but it’s gone back to the way it was
Why on earth would you replace the timing belt when you can replace it with an orginal ford timining chain that will never need replacement? Even engines that were originally fitted with a timing belt can be fitted with a timing chain with only a slight modification! See ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E0cY8xbzfJk.html
