This is the Renault scenic finally finished and running again In this video I replace the water pump and timing belt and replace the spark plugs, and I change the engine oil and filter. The engine started ok. Thanks for watching
Nice to see it back together Matt....I could see how a perceived lack of compression would be very worrisome indeed. 🤔 No worries, all good. Great work. Cheers Pal 👍
It took some time, although I enjoyed doing the job, once I got into it I was happy working away. That lack of feeling any compression with the ratchet was worrying but I could feel a slight compression after cranking the engine by hand with the ratchet a few times. Once it was running I could relax. Thanks for watching
your probably aware about the fix for the key card the coil becomes separated from the board i ve repaired by separating and resoildering appreciate the video
nice work matt those ptfe seals are terrible i done an engine rebuild on a focus 1.8 tdci last month and had a oil leak from the front crank seal (ptfe) what a nightmare had a new dealer seal/crank pulley timing cover alignment double checked still leaking in the end an old style crank seal with the spring on the inside from porsche 911 done it
Yeah I don't like them as much as the old type seal. Luckily you had a seal that fit from a 911. Not many people could say that they have one of them lying around. Thanks for watching
@@mechanicmatt871 yes after searching on euro car parts website (they give the seal size) the porsche 911 seal was the correct size just 2mm wider but it done the job perfectly .
Hello I wanted to ask you a question about my scenic 2 1.6 petrol 2007 when it is cold and I start it makes a noise. type of suction that lasts for about 2 then turns off the machine but starts normally on the second start what could it be?
Hi Matt! Great video as always. May I ask, what's the name of the tool you are using in 3:11? I changed my Megane's timing belt last month. While trying to loosen the exhaust side camshaft nut, I bent both of the locking tools! I had to buy a new set of locking tool to finish the job.
www.amazon.co.uk/ASTA-Locking-Sprocket-Camshaft-Crankshaft/dp/B00N1QNB6A/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=timing+pulley+holder&qid=1596350757&sr=8-2 This is the same timing pulley holder, I used some bolts with the heads cut off to work with the pulleys on this car. Thanks for watching
@@mechanicmatt871 Thank you. Also I don't know if you noticed, but your auxiliary belt has cracks. Wouldn't that be a problem? I heard, snapping the auxiliary belt can be as devastating as snapping the timing belt.
Good job, were you tempted to fit a new dephaser pulley while you were in there? I changed a rattling one on a Clio 172 and it's not a job I'd want to do twice!
This one was done spending as little as possible, and their was no noise on this one. Although if a little more money was available it would have been a good idea to change the dephaser pulley on this one too. Like you say it would save taking it apart again later. Thanks for watching Brendan
@@mechanicmatt871 looks like you've got the skills to get the timing right first time, it took me a few goes to get the belt tension set correctly so I could still fit the locking tool in the back of the cams after turning the engine over a couple of rotations. I wanted to make sure I had the full 172 bhp when it was finished, not 150 or 160 like many of them are after their first cambelt 🤣
