DON'T IGNORE THESE EARLY SIGNS OF TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE! | VW CRAFTER TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT

Welcome back to the channel guys, in todays video I'm back at a familar VW crafter van that I've previously fitted 2 starter motors in quick succession on, thinking its just faulty starter motors but there's a much more sinister reason they are failing, watch to find out why.
Hope you all enjoy a little more detail on this video compared to other ones, let me know what you think in the comments section, don't forget to also drop a like and maybe share this with someone who might also enjoy it.

Brilliant video. I cant believe he didnt have a fan.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

I know 😂😂 customer couldn’t believe it either

[@Altair885]

Had 2004 Transit that had done something similar, except the fan was still sitting there but the stub that it was held on by had eaten the viscus coupling away. Only happed to notice because I touched it while under it one day looking for an oil leak! Never did get around to replacing it and sold it 2 years later on 😁

Nice job done on VW timing belt.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Thank you 👍🏼

[@lrdisco2005]

In 40 years: 4 timing belts and 3 head gasket failed, all well before date/mileage. Never lend me a car. No clutch failure though.

[@JeffPower-dv3zl]

That's not bad for 40 years 😂😊

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Damn, on one hand that’s not bad but I bet didn’t feel that way at the time 😂

[@anonamouse9198]

You’re the Steve ‘boring’ Davis of mechanics mate in the best possible way! (Spitting Image reference, before your time 😂) Back in the Eighties he was winning literally every snooker tournament, making it look super easy! Just as you do in all your episodes. It’s hard to get across the years of blood, sweat & tears it took you to get to this level of knowledge. Total respect Sir 👊🏻

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Hahaha I’ve never had a Steve Davis comparison before so that’s a first 😂 but thank you and thanks for watching 👍🏼

Great to watch , love all your videos mate 👏👏👏

This is what is called an in depth video! great job!

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Knew you’d like it 😂😂👍🏼

[@litgibrotmg]

Love the videos , going to have to get myself one of those trolley's after seeing that, mind's blown. Been tempted to leave a comment about the intro for a while suggesting it's a bit too long (30s before the video starts adds up when watching loads) but instead was blown away by the volume of the new short one 😂 Think it's much better from a viewers perspective to get right into the content and probably for viewer retention also, just needs to be a bit quieter now and it's perfect 👍

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Exactly my thoughts about the intro, and noted about the volume, little fine adjustments 👍🏼

[@eddieMurphy11111]

the Landrover freelander 1 TD4 has that problem if it will not start when hot it is the cam shaft sensor nothing else just that thanks for the video

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Yeah hot start issues can be a number of things can’t they

Yeah I think I read that somewhere, they are slightly oval like ain’t they?

[@ClausiusTR]

That is better, helpful and detailed. Thank you. What grease did you apply on water pump seal?

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

It’s just red rubber grease

[@lucaslouro4021]

Im starting my mobile business, what do you recommend for car ramps? Should i keep some in the back of the van? What weight limit should I look for before just using a hydraulic jack? Thanks for the help

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Jack and axle stands are best but the Halfords ramps are very useful to keep on them van for uneven surfaces 👍🏼

[@spitNsawdust]

Like it! Better intro also. 👊😉

Nice one kerbie did he go and buy a fan?

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Not yet mate, it’s on the list 😅

[@neilpike4358]

Love the format Kirby! Keep them coming mate.As a Pro do you still get nervous on first start up even though you have checked and aligned everything correctly?

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Oh absolutely, every time 😅

[@fishmaster1960]

Why would the starter motor fail so quickly just because the timing is a little bit out....is it the length of extra cranking time taken to start the engine? Also I wondered if this van had been driven through water to loose the fan blade's.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Yeah extended crank time may have burnt it out is what I believe anyway

[@shanebrookes1878]

Kerby where did ya buy trolley from that’s mint!!! Is it sterdy!

[@patrickryan7385]

Would you say timing belts don't need changing as often as it says. I've done a few on different cars and the old belts have been as good the replacements.😊

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Very hard one that, for the risk involved leaving it another year or so I don’t think is worth it

ive got fiat scudo 2007 with no hot start do you think my timing belt is out thanks for the content

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Do you mean non start when hot?

[@ianfraser1215]

@@kerbsidemobilemechanic yes run it for a mile to shops come back out wont start have to wait half hour for engine to cool down before it starts

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Quite possibly, needs diag, could also be something like a temperature sensor

[@julianlangdon3456]

Why had timing slipped? Belt didn't appear to have shed teeth or been loose. Guessing original belt

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

No teeth stripped etc no, tensioner seemed ok, I’ve had it most commonly on these crafters for some reason
