🔵 Dayco Ford 1.8TDCi timing belt 🔴 

"popular engine" Yeah - well popular mate. You'll never convince me a belt in oil is better than a chain. EVER.

and just look how easy it is to change......once the engine is out and at head height. I think garages preferred not to know.

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.

Alex gregory... you will have to remove the power steering pump & mount off the rear of the engine in order to be able to see or get to the tensioner which goes down through the rear engine case. Thats nornal procedure on a Mk4 mondeo 1.8 TDCi engine. Anything after 2007... should be running the wet belt setup... although in some cases.... cars have had an older engine installed because of engine failure and had an older type (chain) put in without the installer knowing. You have to check with these engines.

So we have dayco to blame for all these lower belt failures. Cheers guys.

Wet belt strippy strippy is what happened to mine 😢

I'd rather stick to a chain drive methinks :) In most cases you get a good 40,000 miles extra before that sucker drifts in timing or rattles if you keep the maintenance up... Which is better than snap, clunk, valves-go-byebye

The change interval for the chain is the same!

Very good information. I may have been conned by my garage. After a major service I was told my cam belt was changed. As my clutch was slipping a few months later I was booking my car in to have it replaced I said that I’m spending more money and would rather scrap it. The garage said the workshop opposite buys these cars for spares and would pay more. When the guy visited me he stated my January 2008 would have been the cam belt in oil so it was not worth as much as I had no proof it had been changed and the garage had only fitted a cam belt kit with water pump! Was I scammed?

at what mileage would the chain have been replaced would it be the same as the wet belt that replaced it or would it be more .

What a god damn STUPID fucking idea. Let's replace the heavy duty lower chain that NEVER fails with a wet belt, which like any wet belt is super sensitive to oil quality/cleanliness.

Do you know how much work ill have to do to remove the tensioner bolt to find out for sure which my engine has? Im gettin conflicting opinions as to whether my lower drive is chain or wet belt? With it being produced during the changeover period no one really seems to know definitively which it has. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Kindest regards, Alex

Ahora lo tenéis que hacer sin quitar el motor

I have a gates timing belt kit to fit to mk4 1.8 tdci

Впервые разработан ремень в масляной ванне. На этом преимущества закончились.

And then....they were all changed back to the reliable chain after many destroyed engines!

am interested ❤

Discusting! Chain is way better than belt

what a fu*king big mistake that was belt in oil durr

how often does the chain have to be replaced

Hi, is this applicable to 2.0 TDCI?

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
