@@rhendry5832 it’s angle torque rather than NM , you need to turn the bolt 190 degrees basically

Thanks a lot. This helped clear up a few items, it's great that you also gave the torque settings. Good practice where you fill with coolant after fitting the water pump. This also prevents damage to the water pump seal as it is now lubracted when turning the engine during the final TB alignment check.

Hi what would happen if the crank did a extra turn? I have a feeling someone that did it on mine took the belt of but did a extra turn on the crank pulley. Obviously the crank is pinned and cam is pinned also fuel is within its hole. Car seems to be running weird like a weird exhaust sound like a missfire I thought maybe it's the fuel injection pump that's not timed but it is not out as all pins line up. Was told the crank may of had a extra turn but wouldn't make a difference. Car runs ok but just weird noise like a fueling burbling noise exhaust or engine when driving

[@gregorydobson4307]

Thanks for very detailed video, my peugot van with same 8v 1.6hdi engine had a snapped belt. Looking at my fuel pump pulley it has two cut outs 180 degrees from each other. Does it matter which one lines up with hole.

[@diydaly]

Glad it will help! only 1 should line up correctly , it is just a high pressure pump though so if both do Line up it wont matter which one

[@mixerfistit5522]

I found that you had to rotate the crank about 8 times to get the fuel pump with the 2 holes to line up (and when it did the the cam pin went in much further strangely) Also if iirc its neither of the 2 holes in the fuel pump that actually accept the pin; it's a hole further out to the edge on the same 'spoke' as one of the 2 holes. Roughly the 3 o'clock position I think

[@dannye6070]

Great step by step video, I have the same engine in my connect van and my belt snapped how would I know the position of the cam to the crank as the cam rotate twice the the crank ?

[@diydaly]

👍 you can just set then to the marks, the crank rotates twice to one on the cam, so the cam would be 180 degrees out.. just simply set them to the timing marks and you'll be fine 👍

[@johnmcculloch4009]

Further to my earlier comment. Hi, I 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

[@diydaly]

Always abit concerning if someone’s been in there and your not sure why.. it’s hard to say without seeing it but if your unsure I’d see about getting it swopped

[@johnmcculloch4009]

@@diydaly Thank you. I bought another belt tensioner (did not want to take the risk), and it worked as it should. Car is now all back and running nicely.

[@OuterSpaceHoppa]

Do you ever rotinely replace the cam shaft timing chain on the 16 valve Hdi engines? Apparently the recommended interval is 150k miles, same as the timing belt. Mine is at 162k miles, so the belt is over due, but the chain looks like a bigger job with another £100 for the kit. But i never heard of anyone changing the chain, or the chain breaking for that matter, so not sure if it is worth the expense?

[@diydaly]

I’ve never routinely replaced the chain tbh, I’m not sure if I’ve ever replaced one ha

[@OuterSpaceHoppa]

@@diydaly Thanks for your reply! It looks to me like nobody changes them routinely, there aren't many videos on KZbin of timing chain replacement other than when there is other damage. There are loads of these engines run at over 150k miles, so I think I'm going to presume it isn't routinely done. I guess there is too much risk of snapping injector bolts, etc to justify the benifit against the low risk of chain failure? Thanks again.

[@toolsmeca7004]

Thank you men i am french people

[@diydaly]

👍 thanks for the comment

[@toyotoe3732]

Thanks ofor video. I have a milwaukee 1/2 inch battery impact gun. Do you think this will be powerful enough to remove crank bolt. I have the 5ah battery. Iv'e heard that if you use the 9ah or 12ah battery, it gives the gun more power. On another point, is there any specific guidance or rules by DVSA that prohibits an MOT tester from doing MOT test on his own car?

[@diydaly]

yeah that should be man enough to undo it mate.. if ut wont someone has done it up far too tight! No there's nothing to stop at MOT tester testing his own car.. Some Garages may have a rule that staff members can't test there own but thats all

[@shutinyanks]

would you know anything about the fuse box? My horn/washer pump has gone and i've been told that its corrosion withing the fuse box under the engine

[@diydaly]

Some of them do suffer with fuse box issues

[@johnmcculloch4009]

Hello, excellent video thank you. Would appreciate your help please. I have measured my new belt and it is exactly the same size as the old one with the same number of teeth. However there is no way I will be able to stretch the belt onto the tensioner. The pin on the tensioner is in the middle of the slot (I bought a brand new Dayco kit) and the tensioner wheel looks too close to the other replacement idler wheel. I am reluctant to take out the pin on the tensioner before it is all set up to give me some more slack. Thank you

[@diydaly]

Sounds strange these are not usually too tight .. have you definetly got it really tight around the rh side.. I can be fidley sometimes

Great job, I think my tensioner gone as its knocking loudly, I'm loosing coolant need to check the thermostat and water pump although the top rad hose is hot so thermo should be fine, last the ds4 1.6hdi now has 81k do you think I should do cam belt now? Going by the book it advises to do it at 110k

[@diydaly]

Yeah officially that or 10 years , which ever comes first , up to you but I’d prefer to do them before the reach 100,000 👍

[@thisistheway1766]

Hello when you look at the fuel pump especially the locking tool there is quite a lot of play between the two knuckles sometimes one knuckle is closer to the hole sometimes in the middle so my question is do the knuckles have to be exact so that the locking tool is between the knuckles or it doesn't matter where the knuckles are as long as it is in that place

[@diydaly]

Anywhere in that gap is fine mate 👍

[@OuterSpaceHoppa]

Do you ever renew the crank shaft bolt? Roughly what do you estimate is the torque after the angular tightening, 200Nm? Could this stretch the bolt and require it's replacement, or is the bolt really chunky? I ask as i had one snap after 18000 miles on a 1.9d passat, but i think it may have failed as the vw garage didn't do it up tight enough, as by their own admission they had no tool to lock the timing gears.

[@diydaly]

I wouldn’t like to guess at the torque tbh, I do renew the bolt if one comes in the kit , I’ve never had any issues with any snapping tbf

[@OuterSpaceHoppa]

@diydaly Thanks for your speedy reply! On that advice, I will make sure to order a timing belt kit that includes a new crankshaft bolt. They don't all seem to include a bolt and there is a confusing price range! Not sure which make is best for my old engine.

[@unionflag9609]

Excellent as always mate. Have you ever done a cambelt change on a 2.0 tdci fitted to either the mk3 focus or mk4 mondeo . I've just done mine and after sparking it up there was this whirring noise coming from the cam sprocket,have you come across this before or can you think what the issue might be as so far no one can tell me.

[@diydaly]

Hi , If you check my timing belt playlist there’s one for a mondeo 2.0 tdci.. on the one. You did has in got the large keyway gap on the crank pulley? Allowing quite a lot of float? It’s easy to get them a tooth out when that’s the case.. if so you might find there’s a pin hole in the flywheel to lock it off properly

[@unionflag9609]

Thanks for replying.I did watch it and I did the same as you and every other video on the subject I watched. Yes there is a hole in the flywheel which I pinned up but what I have noticed since doing the job a few times is there's a bit of movement in the crank even when pinned up so you could be right in that it's a tooth out however, the noise did stop 30secs after I started It once but that was due to the tensioner not being located on the dowel and once correctly fitted the noise was back.Its all a bit of a mystery which I'd like more information on before pulling it apart again.

Thanks, cam belts are allways bit risky first time,, but if your fairly competent just take your time and there not bad to do really .. as long as you make sure everything timed up correctly and the tensioner etc are all tight you can't go too wrong .. always turn the engine over twice after replacement to double check the timing etc 👍

Thank you so much for your video. Everything went well with the change. But now I have some noise from the engine when I let off the gas and the car rolls.

Is there any specific torque for the tensioner of the serpentine belt?

Hi mate, can the water pump be changed here without the timing belt, or is it necessary to do both? I have a suspicion I'm being taken for a ride at the garage. My timing chain shouldn't be due for change but the water pump seal is leaking. Any advice appreciated! 👍

[@diydaly]

You can just fit a water pump without renewing the belt but the belt has to come off to do the job.. personally I would never fit an old belt unless it wasn’t very old at all .. just makes sense to renew it at the same time 👍

Wierd question probably, timed the cam and crank gear, but i ser that the fuel pump is not in Line with the hole that it should be alligned to!

[@diydaly]

There not strictly a timed pump (for running reasons) so it may still run ok.. it’s more for balancing .. it should really be set right through! I’d say someone’s not done it correctly in the past

Thank you so much . Peugeot it's very optimistic and tolerant when it comes about intervals. Here in Italy I heard some people having trouble with timing kit belt well before 100k km, 60k miles. It's a gamble. Some are also scared by the squeaky sound coming from the crankshaft pulley especially when accelerating after idling. Dealers always say it's normal, but some driver broke the pulley with costly damages. I appreciate your work, have a good Saturday.

Hello sir I have same engine 130k miles timing belt wather pump is done around 10k miles ago . In the morning 10 on idle I have a noise coming from timing belt area... What can be sir? Thank you

[@diydaly]

Impossible to say without hearing it tbh , you’d need to remove the auxiliary belt first see if the noise goes.. if it does you know the fault is on the auxiliary side

Hi Can you help. Put new belt on, all pins were used. Engine turns over but wont fire. Could my fuel pump be 180 deg out.

[@diydaly]

Are you sure you haven’t caught the crank sensor or damaged the pickup? (The ring that the crank sensor reads from)

[@gregorydobson4307]

I was very careful and have checked them. Think my OBDII readers would show a fault as the ecu would think they were out of sync

[@gregorydobson4307]

Also had all my fuel injector lines off so could it be air lock ??

[@diydaly]

@@gregorydobson4307 yeh the fuel may have ran back if you've had the fuel lines off.. try priming the fuel first then maybe a sniff of easy start.. if its not logging a fault your crank signal must be ok.. the fuel pump timing wont actually stop it from running on this engine

[@waynetyson3951]

If reusing the old timing belt tensioner, will it need to be pinned?

[@diydaly]

no you wont need to mate

Thanks 👍👍 Excellent video by the way, nice to see a UK car maintenance video with so much detail.

Hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me the answer to these questions, I have a Citroen C4 Grand Picasso 2008 , I have 2 questions ?? Are the Torque settings the same for the Water pump - and the Tensioner pully and the Idler Pully as for this car ? Question 2 - Do I need to set the position of the Fuel pump on the C4 Grand Picasso 2008 as with this car ? My car is the Diesel version. Thanks Ed.

[@diydaly]

Yeah if yours is the 1.6 hdi then it will be the same settings and you will need to set the fuel pump the same too

[@topcat7091]

@@diydaly Thanks I really appreciate the advice, my car is a Diesel by the way. I live in Ireland and I was quoted 700 Euro to do the timing belt and replace the Drive belt and another 220 Euro for a service, that's almost what the car is worth. So I'm going to have a go myself and hope for the best. Thanks for your help

[@diydaly]

@@topcat7091 sure you’ll get on ok mate , there not bad to do really .. just take your time 👍👍

[@topcat7091]

@@diydaly I COCKED UP, I made highly detailed notes so that I wouldn't mess up and I got distracted, Long story short , I didn't put the timing pins in place before I removed the Timing belt . What should I do now ???

[@diydaly]

@@topcat7091 have you just taken the belt off an not moved everything ? If so put the belt on and turn it to the timing positions.. if it wont turn over by hand all the way then the timing is quite far out.. get them to the marks and if there not 100% lined up (as you've got the timing slightly out) just take the belt off then move the pulleys to the positions and pin them up

The back plate on crank gear broke off mine and it’s scored the engine and the belts been running on the block lol, simpleish job always bites me on the arse

How do you time the injection pump?

[@diydaly]

Just pin it in the position shown

[@andys2856]

@@diydaly I changed the timing chain that connects both camshafts(the chain slipped 5 teeth during timing belt change due to slack chain and the engine was run and revved like this hence new chain and tensioner). After putting it all back together I get thick white smoke from exhaust, diesel spurting out of leak offs and possibly other diesel leaks from injector, engine covered in diesel. So I think raw diesel going into exhaust valves, any idea what would cause this? Rockers and cams looked ok on visual inspection but maybe valves got damaged on slipped chain. Any ideas?

[@diydaly]

@@andys2856 hard to say without looking tbh mate , sounds like your having a right disaster with that one!
