Hi John and Karl, thanks for the video, good on ya Karl for giving up ya time, and as an old mechanic I can say you did a great job bonny lad, checking more than once that timing and everything was spot on, hope you got a full English out of it, lol. Cheers lad's, thanks for the video, best wishe's to all, Stuart Uk.
Piggy power is the bees knees ..just completed full gates cambelt kit overhaul thanks to piggy power ..he gave the best vid for this figment …thanks piggy❤
Ina, a good manufacturer of bearings, so a very good make to put in. Yes to doing the pump with the belt, and I would also suggest slitting the bottom cover, so it can be slipped off without needing to pull that crank pulley off. Was a common thing to do to Ford CVH engines, saving you at least a half hour on every belt change.
Im just about to do this job on my 3008 1.6Hdi, the workshop manual i have is vague about the crankshaft pulley bolt torque, is it 35Nm then 190 degrees?
Great vid John. To think back in the mid 70s I used to moan changing the over head cam belts on Vauxhall/Bedford engines especially the CF van were room was quite roomy compared to todays room. Cheers and stay well.
I thought you said you had a full kit. Where's the shots of the top and bottom seal replacement? Or like me you only replace the seals every 2nd belt? Retired mechanic/machinist in Land Down Under.
Full belt kit, not the full engine kit, which means all seals for there, both for cams and crank, but which also means you might as well put in a new clutch, release bearing and do the slave cylinder as well, because no extra work, it all comes apart anyway.
@@SeanBZA If you look at the Dayco catalogue, their timing belt kits for most cars provide a timing belt, tensioner, water pump plus top and bottom seals, one for the crankshaft and one for the camshaft. Those seals leak after a while. If the water pump is replaced as a precautionary measure, so do the seals need to be replaced. You can also buy kits with only belt and tensioner but here in Australia a full kit includes cam and crank seals. They have nothing to do with full engine gasket kit and seals.
@@bobhudson6659 Different countries different suppliers. By me the most common is all parts separate, and you buy what you want, though most spares places will suggest you buy all the parts together. Yes the seals do get hard with time, but in general I do not see them being sold as part of a kit. Plus if you are doing the crank seals you want to do both, so that will mean changing a clutch as well, as it, along with flywheel, will have to come out. In most cases that means sump as well, and then you are doing the full engine seal set with clutch and cambelt.
G'day John. Excellent Video. I have fitted quite a number of belts over my time, & to be honest these days, because of the complexity & the specialised tools required in some cases it's easier & cheaper to get it done like you have done. Changing the water pump at the same time is always the cheapest way to do the job. Thanks for a great video. It's like the old Bedford van, I think they just grabbed a chassis, put a motor into it, & just built everything around it. 😆 🤣 😂
That is how most vehicles are built, engine comes as a complete unit, all accessories on it, on a sub frame with steering and suspension, that is simply bolted into the frame and carries on along the line.
Hi, would appreciate your advice please. I bought a Dayco kit online. Strangely the belt tensioner plastic bag was open. The others in the box were sealed. Is it possible to damage the tensioner before it is installed by removing the pin ? When I came to line up the hole with the new belt on, I had to turn the allen key clockwise to line it up. However the arrow stated to turn it anticlockwise. I am concerned this could really cause a problem. What do you think , please ?
I guess this is the newer 8 valve 1.6hdi because it doesn't look anything like my Citroën Xsara Picasso or my friends Peugeot Partner that both have the 16 valve 1.6hdi.
I hate plastic impellers on water pumps. My buddy had a 5series bmw and no one could figure out why it was overheating. When I pulled the pump, there was nothing left of that plastic piece of shit!
