What is the problem with removing a subframe whilst the car is on jack stands/working on your back? Or is it mainly just time allocation that makes you pass on certain jobs?

I bet your vans got a wet belt being a citroen

Work colleagues Shitreon Van had engine light on recently, AA said the oil to thick, said it was because its not had service which okay it hasn't but neither has mine, wonder how thick oil is because of bits of belt in it😂

Accidents happen

17:30 wouldn't just turning the engine crack over by hand confirm if its timed? As the valves wont be touching the piston ?

Loads of knowledge although his whining and self depreciation gets on my nerves, probably something to do with his age

Need to see more of faith rather than a dirty man- canic!

Ces gens n ont jamais fait de mécanique ou démonté un moteur sur une voiture.😂tout le monde sait que l on ne met pas d huile sur une courroie

Stuff like this made me go to a EV was so sick of paying hand and foot for manufacturers built in flaws in every Ford or Vauxhall.

Just use correct oil, change at regular service intervals and get warranty, any type belt can go but people are skimping on services/using wrong oil

All Peugeots are garbage

Marv gives Faith the smallest wrench in his tool box …… now remove a 100nm bolt, simple 😂😂😂

Once I forgot to tight the union on clutch slave cylinder pipe inside the gearbox on insignia 2.0 cdti 😂😂😂 I noticed that while I was trying to bleed the clutch😂

Hi I’ve got a grand land from Vauxhall with a wet belt. I had the same problem a couple of months ago. I only had the car a month. I replaced it with an upgraded belt with a two-year guarantee that’s not bad but I’m not gonna keep the car.

This is a simple fix, just change the belt to steel design, the steal belts in a CVT transmission rarely fail...

Chevy does this as well... Unfortunately but some hope, the belts are a polyurethane /Kevlar made material belt. Oil resistant. We will see... 😮 That engine there was abused I'm sure, that should last at least 100k miles at the least! I change the oil frequently!

No one and I mean no one will ever convince me that a wet timing belt on a engine is better than the standard system, it’s got nothing to do with economy or efficiency, all those people who have been misled by these car manufacturers should be reimbursed and given a better vehicle just as a courtesy but we live in a world where that’s never going to happen.

driving 4 answers has made the best video about this.

Loving the content and watching you grow, I spent two years self employed as a mobile mechanic and did roughly £115k in my first year in gross sales before rejoining the workforce, 4 years on working full time at a specialist garage I’ve taken what I’ve learnt and having another go first week part time £700 in gross sales

If the engine is run without oil, you save another 1% in fuel costs according to the car manufacturers, possibly the durability may be slightly worse than wet belt. Possible irony.

We all know the real reason, manufactures want engines and cars to break down after warranty is exceeded, that way they can get continuous sales for parts and cars

Where are you based, anywhere near Sandhurst , cheers mate.

That’s how they make their money and they don’t give a schitt

Buy a car that doesnt use that belt. -Bear

I think I would have removed a crank and main cap while the sump was off to check if oil starvation (and contamination) had affected the bearings (or even crank journals)

So ask do it have a Wet Belt if yes Say No Thanks I'm Good. What a Nightmare that Job is.

PLEASE!!!!!! Buy some 6 ton jack stands. The day those cheap stands fail you will die, literally.

Loads of clowns in tyre shops over-tighten wheels, with air impact-guns, and then go through the pretence of setting the tightness correctly by applying one 'click' of a torque wrench.

Cheaper to build that's a company bonus only

Wieso hat dieses Video so ein schlechte Übersetzung in´s Deutsche.

What w*nker ever thought running a cambelt in oil was a good idea ???

By design to get more control having everyone in electric cars.

Nice video, but it would be better if you could just reduce the bitchin. Stay technical. It's what we come to watch, not your feelings. ✌️

The reason is easy to understand, but NOT accept, manufacturers are obliged to comply with EPA rules,laws etc, to do this they used wetbelts as they are less friction than chains, dont stretch as much and are easier and cheaper to install, yes, some will fail agreed, but Ford found that faulty tensioner mechanism was a large factor in the engine failures,coupled with incorrect oil type used on changes. ! Owners are also involved and they are economical with truth expectedly, Manufacturers just make the car and owners have little understanding on the complex thing they bought, many still think ah ,should check oil,water , tyres , lights etc, OH, im late, ill check it tomorrow. AM I WRONG !

Fun fact dry belt is cheaper to make. A few rubber seals are cheaper than belt cover.

Guys, spend a little and buy some 6T jack stands. Those stands you have will kill you one day....

One of your best videos in a long time Loved it

I question if the system is designed to shed the debris after the belt hit it's last days and then send enough of a critical sensor value to shut down or protect the engine. This one looked ok to repair for time and struggle. But it's the difference between the belt getting tossed around and breaking down or destroying your motor and breaking down. This being said breaking down and not getting a warning on a interference motor. So then you got the science into it it is designed to prevent catastrophic failure with sensors to use the belt as a system to prevent that. Or if it is used as I would see it like it clogs up the oil system and lets you ride your bearings to death. The whole service just done to change the belt is going to be a experienced / knowledged person only repair and if it's done wrong you have clogged systems. So that being said, this car here is a good way to look at certain important things during service like loose rods, clean the oil pickup and clean the vac system for the brakes. I also noticed on a car even like that it would be a important part of the oil change to remove the oil filter, drain the oil and then install new filter and drain plug after all the oil came out to release the fluid in the pickup. The hole was going vertically up because someone knew the conventional sideways pickup with the screen in a side hole or similar would be clogged and not have a chance to come out. But then we get stuff like ford and their "wet belt" oil pump causing a whole timing chain and tensioner assembly or whatever inspection when you loose oil pressure. So, all these years of bad chain gears and tensioners causing catastrophic failure might be reduced in the future as those vehicles get older. It's also going to make you clean the pan for oil crud and I guess other stuff you ignore with a chain. But I would say that if this wet belt system has a expectancy of 60k and it is designed to shed if it's past its interval to prevent failure. With say oil light flickers and then it shuts down when there is no oil like the computer was saying. Instead of bent valves, cracked heads and even other damage from dry belt or chain failure. Then I myself would highly consider the same value in knowing it's a timing belt that is not going to let itself explode and destroy the interference way. Non interference motors that can handle a belt blowing like a 4 cylinder 90s Camry .etc are not as beneficial as old school. But, if I can poke at it with a check tool and if someone can predict it with signs along with the most important part of it being a more faster / easier job with the right tools. Then this in my perspective would be better as long as and only as long as it is not starving the system significantly enough to cause severe bearing damage. Seeing all the black material and the contents that came out. Then it's concerning about how much longer your gonna get from the thing. Instead of setting a warning light to indicate it's approximate time to replace the timing belt. or if the timing chain is giving slack .etc like a out of correlation code vw can have when the timing belt is on it's last leg or a tooth off. Then you got the thing where if that gauge can read the belt you would think a sensor could do the same thing to determine before shedding point. Other things like timing chain tensioner plastic will block a oil pickup completely. I know the bio sticker on the belt is like a eco friendly biodegradable belt. So maybe there is a new tech system being created for this design. But in all reality it's a system that pollutes the oil system and probably damages the engine along the way. Especially if the oil pump is chopping it up as it goes. I remember seeing my first car repair on the same engine they use in the Pontiac Aztec. You got a mix of oil in the coolant for the water pump and then you got a retainer to hold the timing chain gear to the timing cover so you can unbolt the water pump and hold the chain gear from falling off. So someone thought this was a good idea. Just like eco boost did their water pumps. Volkswagen also mixed into ford around early 2000. So as it goes with everything, there will be things you either do your research on before you buy it. Or you buy it and end up with something like this to have some weird system that basically gives the engine cancer over time. The only way that wet belt system would be good is it the oil got pulled from the pickup to the filter then the pump and motor. Along with something to give you a light that your timing belt / wet belt / oil system / and brake system is in need of immediate service. I completely agree that it could cause a crash and the design is very poor. So I guess over time we will see if this has a value to it or if it just destroys everything and is too problematic. It's amazing to see this one and try to comprehend how to think of it. The only thing I did notice was the engine codes might have been there to say it needed service. But at the same time it's not my vehicle and not my experience with how it got to that point. So just another reason why I don't care about new cars. They are nice and fancy to a certain extent, but I know what I see in them and it's not all as good as what it used to be.

It's one of the worst clutch I have ever seen in the trade. Well done, lads, keep up the good work

WAKE UP.. this is all a push to get you to buy EV'S

Klick Klicick klickklickklick No Boy.

Wet Belt Bullsh

Good job - well done - I wont be buying one of these motors in the near future that's for sure.

An extension bar on the end of the ratchet would have helped the poor girl out,of course......

Uhhhh!!! Puretech 😢

Oil services obviously rare on this car. Oil shouldn't be like porridge

Ex bmw tech great job guys

"I don't understand" You sir, need to look at your government then. That's why.

ratchet = UK wrench = US
