Great video, very professional, are you local to Essex??

hi pal, your channel got recommended to me by you tube, great video by the way. Coincidentally I rebuild engines everyday, Im from the UK as well, couple of things I do different to you, but still has the same result, a running engine, lol. For once i'm pleased you tube sent me a channel that i'd enjoy watching. I've rebuilt so many of these, for various reasons, head gasket failures, wet belt failures, and when the belt fails, they DO spin the cam lobes on the camshafts, so be careful with that if you haven't come across it yet. Also done a few block failures, due to cylinder wear, because of lack of lubrication on the under side of the piston. They suggest using a torque multi=plier for torquing the crankshaft bolt up..... its called a dewalt 1/2 inch gun for me. never had an issue, and probably rebuilt 80-90 of these engines within last 2-3 years. . just subbed, cheers.

Quite impressive work to be carrying out on the side of the road ,is that the 2.2 very clattery engine but good I have one with 330 k miles on it, quite noisy in comparison to my peugot 2.0 blue and other fiat 2.3 ducato

Fantastic job ❤

Hi mate Quick question oiling the the bolts will that affect the torque settings as there will be slight difference due to resistance in the bottom of the threads ? Cheers

Just love watching these vids …. But don’t have a clue about engines but…. At 13.16 in the video, is that some sort of welding it’s had in the past??

Not a bad price for new head and fitting kit that eh. Could always keep that head and get it welded as a spare incase you happen to buy a broken van in the future if they don’t want it as an exchange. Nice job.

Weld it

great video what a mess of pipework on that transit

where did you get the new cylinder head

Excellent job well done looking at the engine in bits gave me a headache 😂

😳 done many a clutch and wish they were all as light as the bippers 🤣,work on mainly hgv and plant good vid hope you make more, i would give it a bash if known how to.

Nice job just wondering if you did another compression check once the new head was installed.

Hello mate great video. I have to do this to my nemo, no3 glowplug came up on my lexia. When you warmed up the engine, did you reconnect the wiring to the glowplugs while the engine was running . Thanks

First class video. 👍👍 So clear and well explained. Good to know it can be done without removing the turbo or exhaust. I have the same dash warning on my Nemo with the same engine and I’m wondering whether to do it myself. I can now do the check on the relay to rule that out first. What kind of price would I expect from a garage for all 4 plugs?

Make sure clean the shaft 😂

Quick tip - Try to tighten the glow plug slightly first. This usually breaks the bond that forms between the steel threads of the glow plug and the aluminum threads in the head. Tightening first works better as the twist exerted on the plug deforms it slightly and actually makes it contract ever so slightly, whereas undoing it may not. You are also less likely to get a situation where parts of the thread inside the head being to break off as they become welded to the plug. Another tip is to take your time! It doesn't mater if it takes you half an hour of gently working the plug back and forth to get it out, it's still faster and cheaper than removing the head! Just remember not to put too much pull on it at any point.

Bonjour, comment avez vous fait pour dévisser le pré catalyseur a l'arrière du moteur car il n'y a pas beaucoup de place ? Merci

The little test at the end against the battery was great, good to see how you can ensure that was the broken part 👍🏽

So how long are you a mechanic quite a.drame.to cope with on the side of the road ?

Hi, do you still take on work. Think your in the Chepstow area. Many thanks.

this is what happened to mine glow plug cylinder two had snapped and caused bad damage resulting in engine out new piston and rings full rebuild now

Hi, love the video well explained, we have the same problem on our crafter 🤞its able to be rescued ? I don't suppose you work anywhere near the Worcestershire area ?

Thx

That's how you destroy glow plugs

Hi ... i wonder if you can help ?????........(i,m a mechanic by trade but old with health issues) . My BMW 1 .....2005..... series 1.6 petrol (only £800 trade)......... had a rusted brake servo and was replaced at the MOT garage who are really nice blokes 🙂 . It drove perfect and i drove it home like a little old lady 🙂 . The battery went weak and i jump started off the front terminals and drove it to charge it up . I did a stupid thing by just letting my Fiat Punto "jump cable" to charge the battery in the boot (i know i,m not suppose to) . The steering has gone MAD .... (lol)......... it's jumping to the right and misfiring BAD at 2000rpm ....(yeh the tacho jumps) . As i pull left gently............ the "A" in the "@" sign lights up . THEY ARE MAN AND MACHINE IN PERFECT HARMONY .......... lol . (as we both hate each other) ......lol ................ Yeh after the oil change the timing chain went quiet and i drive it gently and keep it polished . I tried the "lock-to-lock" when stationary ...... no joy .... THANKS FOR READING

How much was the cam and rockers

This happened to me on a 1.6 hdi. The tips of the glow plugs all snapped off in the head. I tapped them into the cylinder and sucked them out with a hoover through the injector port.

Hi I have a 2016 transit mk8. I am getting sick of it can you help. 100k on it had it 3rd engine 2 turbos in less than a year and new injectors. Still sounds like a bag of nails when cold. Any ideas? Apart from scrapping it 😊

wow ! great vid

Thats my car 😅

Plz Tell me what the parts code is

I know it’s a few years old. But really helpful vid thank you😊

Im getting between 17km and 650kmph on all wheels even when standing still, even after I replaced all sensors

Man, what a ballache, well done

For many 8Ps, this works when the service indicator is only for the oil change. As you can see in the video, the procedure specifically restarts the oil change interval. When the indicator has instead come up for the major service - beyond just the oil change - it all looks similar, but resetting the oil change will not get rid of the annoying reminder. If you DIY your major service, you will need to plug in vcds or similar to reset that broader service reminder. I have the full Ross-Tech package, but it is still frustrating that Audi makes me haul out the laptop for this.

Cooling egene system

Ik ben nu ook met een vw crafter bezig ook distributie gebroken dankzij deze video ben ik hem nu ook zelf aan het maken nieuwe klepstoters en rockersarms gekocht ik ben benieuwd

Is it easier to change the whole drive shaft and sensor than to change the ring and sensor?

I'd have changed that plastic timing chain tensioner which I can see has gone orange and probably brittle.

cheers mate

I got ford dealers do mine,the get out a company to do them they heat them up for while and apparently they all come straight out. £360

Hello any solid advice on buying one of these vans, are they reliable etc thank you

Brilliant. How much would you charge to replace my cam belt and water pump? Also new front discs and pads. It's a vw crafter. Reg GJ65 CYP Regards Dean

Hi there Took off cam sprocket to change belt and mark How do I time up the 2.5 crafter engine ? Tdc and lock ? The lock cam at the back ? What about fuel pump ? Thanks

Hi, what's the going rate to get glow plugs replaced on a ford transit? Thinking of getting mine replaced but it could wait.. Thanks

Brave man, hats off to you , I’d hate that in the middle of winter!

deffo worth a sub this amazing work

Great video very informative.

Using a torque wrench to loosen+tighten repeat patiently (5-10 minutes) until glow plug moves then don't get cocky until removed.
