Thank you for watching and even more for leaving me a message 🙌

Sorry it took me a while to get back to you, I have 240Nm or 177ft-lb for the drive shaft nut

Replied to your DM 🤓

Did you get the seal to seat correctly ? Also needs doing up to the correct tightness, sometimes if the cap of the filter is damaged you have to buy a new cap

I’m not a mechanic either, these cars are very simple and easy to work on the main issue you’ll probably have is stuck bolts that shear off. Thanks for watching 👀

That’s cool let me know how you get on

That’s my Dad who at this point has been a welder for around 50 years so I think at this point he’s probably ok 👍

@PuntoHowto people use,sunbeds, they don't all get C but it's not recommended, same with welding. I'm not someone who usually follows all safety procedures but this is so easy to do what's recommended. You can't say uv light is good for you...

Gloves. Good tip, thanks, never actually thought about it. Only tend to wear them when a spark lands on them.

I’d suggest a cold engine, really you are looking to see if there is a difference between cylinders but if you do it on a warm engine then you have to contend with hot spark plugs and hot engine and risk burning yourself

@@PuntoHowto okay cool … so I’m curious whenever you have bent valves or slightly bent valves, that cylinder won’t be able to hold compression right?? I drive a mk7 gti and I know that the loud bang I heard under my hood was me jumping time.. I replaced the timing chain then later saw this video and did a compression test all cylinders were pretty much the same between 147-149 .. but the car runs like crap the car idles at 600 but after a drive it starts idling at 900 rpm so I’m just lost

@@nequanlucas2162 yes if you have bent valves then you’ll not have compression in those cylinders. That engine would be direct injection? It’s quite a lot more complex than the engine in this video I can’t really suggest what you can do to fix the problems you are having?

I'm guessing you drive like an utter bellend as well then !!

Lol written like a BMW driver 🔔🔚

@@ant060495 🤣 😂🤣😂😂

This is a mk1, they are surprisingly very similar despite there being a big difference in the cars

@@PuntoHowto oh ok ,,, thanks for the heads up, great work btw

That’s worth knowing especially at the price they charge for replacements, I wonder if I could fit a spring somewhere to give the extra oooph to hold the boot up

@@PuntoHowto I lift the boot up then place a piece of hose pipe or similar, about 2 inches long split down the middle lengthwise around the strut middle.

Hi I have the same one I’m hoping to get back on the road any advice on anything would be welcomed

@@yelba100 these are pretty simple cars but keep watching an I will try and cover most jobs on the car.

Well it came off, one way or another

Really cheap to buy some as little as £10

I saw that happen to our wall mount in school, and I've refused to do that job since If the customer really wants to save that little bit of money they can come disassemble the struts themselves lol

You prove the point well that these things are not to be messed with and you can’t be complacent

Thankfully these days you can get pretty much any tools you want even budget versions of specialist tools, I remember my mk1 Mondeo needed a “special” spanner to remove the steering rack which consisted of a normal spanner bent in a certain way as to go round a corner you’d not normally get a spanner into, Ford wouldn’t sell you one so you just take any old spanner and bend it yourself to fit

Yup

Fairly common sense…. Makes refitting the battery really hard if it’s still plugged in, inside the house 🏠

You will need to do that in software, you’ll need a program like MES (Multi ECU Scan) to do it. I should have included this but the service tokens on my car had expired so I no longer got service light warnings (also I didn’t do enough miles between oil changes anyway)

Nope going to keep posting… I hope this doesn’t annoy you too much 😜

I know what you mean such terrible cars… I should start a Honda channel and post videos about Hondas to all my Honda bros…. Actually I think I’m happy sticking to European cars

@@PuntoHowtoYou can do whatever you want , the quality of Fiat cars wont get better. When you’re home in a location like me ( north sweden - snow - cold ) its a useless car with only issue.

The irony in that is fiat sell more cars in Sweden than Honda 😗

Yep just a normal socket I think it’s 17mm will do the job 👍

Let’s think about this logically… in order for the oil that you have soaked into the filter to be pushed around the engine, it needs something to push the oil out of the filter, as the oil pump is not an air pump and air in the system will be easily displaced the oil in the filter is reliant on oil pressure, so it’s not going to move that oil that you have soaked the filter in, until the oil pressure is up and moving around the system. Also, if you say the oil pressure takes a second or two, to build up and the car does that once a year for its annual oil change then it is only maybe 10-20 seconds over 10 years that the car is without oil, as there is always oil left on parts from the previous running, it is simply not worth my time or hassle messing about soaking filters in oil, getting oil everywhere and making even more of a mess just for the sake of 10 seconds in 10 years (when I won’t own the car anywhere near as long as that)

I won’t lie there is a huge amount of work involved to get it to this state

Yep, it’s just taking time to do as I want some conclusion to the video which means a finished suspension set up, I also need to get new discs and pads for the brakes and new shocks which I’ve ordered.

@@PuntoHowto something to look forward to!

It’s nearly done, so much video footage to try to condense down but it is coming very soon

Any time, so glad I could help

The compressor will cycle on and off all the time but this will get worse the lower the pressure of the gas it’s unlikely to an issue with the clutch or it woundn’t work at all

The colour is called steel silver, it is a specific wheel paint

I bought it at 7 years old with pretty much all that mileage already on it. It works out to about 25k miles a year and I think the first owner must have traveled a lot, probably up and down a lot of motorways.

It’s from a cortina, check out Jim builds Chanel youtube.com/@jimbuilds?si=zleLCcbgXQE7eVKt

It was a demonstration the head is probably only useful as a boat anchor at the moment.

Yup,🤣 what ever you do it probably wouldn’t be enough just one Jim had to hand for the demonstration check out his channel here youtube.com/@jimbuilds?si=DYWvSqlTJX5S3GDk he does some really good fabrication and custom engine parts
