Baz, thank-you so much for working on my (this) car. After seeing your videos you were the only guy I wanted to do this job and I'm glad i made the journey over. I was pleased to see the belt was in 'ok' condition and the oil pick-up was clear; I've known this car from new and know it's always had the right oil in it, goes to show its makes a massive difference following the manufacturers guidance, particularly with this engine. If I carry on with the same service routine I'm sure this belt will last the life of the car. A great video with great content. Showing problems, common issues and how to overcome them is the sign of a true professional, awesome work!
Mines suspension components Barry , as the roads in sunny Bolton are shite , we call it pot hole city 😂😂😂nice drilling out of the top quality exhaust studs
Also just noticed it has Michelin Cross Climates all round , same tyres as my C-Max & my work van has them & they are like a 4x4 in the snow just grip like hell best tyres on the market like Goodyear all season very similar, expensive but safety is paramount & my company has them by default no exceptions .
I do enjoy your wet belt video’s. I find it strange that some get clogged up at the oil pick up (even with regular servicing) and some are completely fine.
Haven't had the pleasure of doing one of these yet. Have done the Transit Ecoblue a few times though. What's the repair time on the ecoboost? Everything now seems so labour intensive. Why do they make it so hard nowadays 😂
Baz , no video you do is boring , far from it pal as these wet belt jobs constantly jogs my memory from when I did mine in June 2022 & took me all week as had to work on axle stands so under & throughing under the car which is time consuming but I think next time will be a lot quicker & it was a C-Max 64 plate so did have more room to manoeuvre as well , keep em coming, also have you done a Mondeo yet 1.0 ecoboost ? I bet there’s even more room in the bay I guess ? Seen loads of fiestas & focuses but no other C-maxes or Mondeos or a transit connect nore an eco sport either thinking about it 👍🤝👌🤔
@@bazmeredith I know you will buddy , I’m sure a Mondy will show up one day , be interesting to see you do one just for room , also Baz it was nice to see you , Marvelous & Jimmy on the RU-vid Vid at the NEC last weekend ( my depot is just round the corner from there btw) & congrats on winning 🏆, I think all three of you should have won 🏆🏆🏆 but anyway a toast to you all 🤝🤝🤝
I look at my classic mini 998cc engine in place and its all accessible two hand tight thumb screws and the rocker cover is off and rockers and valves just there in front of you starter motor two bolts and its off alternator three bolts and a clip and its off one bolt and the distributer is off ..spark plugs in front of you two minutes to take out ..time to take entire engine out for a trained person 1 hour and that is generous...so ford how did you manage to get this bag of crap so messed up oh just forgot £2000.00 pounds for ford to change a cam belt... think on that folks
Hi Baz, I'm getting prepared to renew the wet timing belt on my 2016 Fiesta 1.0 Ecoboost next year. Could you please tell me the size of the cobalt drill bit you use to drill out exhaust flange studs. Also, what size are the bolts you use when refitting exhaust flange - they look like M8 or M10 ?
There's a reason for this, I don't want to be the person on the internet that does it for ex amount, I like to keep it fair for those that are quoting the jobs
