FIRST TIME Wet Belt Replacement on a Ford RANGER | Liqui Moly DPF Clean & Full Service | 77K Miles

[@stevenklauke7797]

This is insane amount of work for a belt.

[@stinkypete2722]

Yep. Modern engines are an absolute pain in the ass!

[@boldertash]

Good to see a young man that enjoys his trade and talks you thru what he is doing. More of you young lads should take up a proper trade and be like this fella, I myself was in the building trade, it's all about applying yourself.

For the manufacturers these wetbelts are a boon. They’re the gift that keeps on giving.

My 3.0 Ltr PK Ranger...I'd did the timing belt, pulleys, and water pump...in 45 minutes ,in front of my shed,with the ute sitting on its wheels....my wife came down to see how I was going just as I fired it up for the test run...asked me if I'd started the job, because we had an appointment 😂😂......I'd never own a later model ....

As long as there's no body of water in the way - this is the kind of place you drive 100s of miles for - for the peace of mind knowing that it will be done beyond properly.

[@cameronmartin931]

How long before the aftermarket starts marketing chain conversions.

[@cameronmartin931]

Truly this has to be the stupidest system for moving cams and oil pumps. Good quality chain system and regular oil changes and you may never have to change it - ever. Even a normal dry cam belt even if you have to do it every 100,000 Km, is usually easier to access than that. Having said that you guys did a good job of it!

[@JamesBond-wy6sb]

I had a 3.2 Ranger. It was absolute crap and cost me a bloody fortune for multiple faults. The last straw was when the adblue system malfunctioned and nobody could fix it! Even a main Ford dealer!! Just managed 38k. I believe the newer 2.0 engine is even worse. Do not buy a Ford or anything else with a wet belt!

[@indy69541]

Sounds like the chev colorado i had way way way to many problems got rid of it

[@michaelw6277]

I think GM is using a wet belt to drive the OIL PUMP in their Duramax diesels. Absolutely insane.

[@Bangzy27]

[@thecareditionltd]

Thank you! 😊👍

[@Peugeot_Lion_Atelier]

For the sake of a little bit more noise from the engine I’ll take the timing chain idea over this any time. The day I heard about the wet belt idea years ago I never believed they would work. I’ll stick to Mitsubishi diesel thanks.

[@michaelw6277]

The problem with timing chains is that for OHC engines it seems like only Honda and Toyota have them figured out. Every other manufacturer seems to need them changed about as often as a belt. Dry belts were fine, and quiet, so I have no idea why wet belts or chains are used as often as they are.

[@Peugeot_Lion_Atelier]

@ agree 100 percent although I’ve worked on Mercedes Benz and Mitsubishi now for 17years, the timing chains we have done are all high mileage. 300000km plus

Isn´t an oilchange recommended after a forced regeneration ?

Yes absolutely

[@Scotty66]

Great videos guys, i managed to get the sump out, drop down the diff and rack, take the engine mount nuts off and raise the engine from above, sump just slides out of the back ( that was a 3.2 with chain, changing the oil pump ) not sure if it’s the same on this engine

[@TJBeats-x4o]

what an absolute shit design by ford that you have to remove all that for service items like a timing belt. Who ever designs these vehicles are the worst of the worst in the motor trade. Customers moan at the hourly rate , or think its a couple hours work, after seeing a youtube video. They have zero clue. The motor trade wages are shocking bad in this country , and this proves why techs should be earning min basic rate of 40k plus.

[@Ian-ic9lv]

Grab a few aerosol tins of Autosmart Gel Sol pal. It’s for removing chewing gum and stickers. It would work a treat on the sticky labels on the inside of the new sumps.

[@86andyw]

Don’t you replace the engine oil and filter after doing a forced regen? Won’t it be diluted? I know ford use a vapouriser but they also use post injection to bring temps up so there will still be fuel entering the oil no?

[@YZJB]

The 2.0L (this engine) doesn’t use a vapourisor. It only uses post injection. So, yes. The oil must be changed after a forced regen

[@thomasfrain2720]

The Bi turbo 2.0L has a wet belt,the TDV6 Ford Lion engine has belts that are are very difficult to replace,but not wet.We use Toyotas,all have timing chains,do huge mileage,no issues.The older TD 3.0L had a timing belt,very easy to change.Much smarter set up than Ford.

Gun these Rangers are only reasonably new in Australia haven’t seen many come through yet. They don’t have the vvt oil pump like the 3.2s?

[@TheEulerID]

Using wet belts is just about the dumbest design option imaginable. It combines almost all of disadvantages of dry belts, along with those of chain drives and adds some of its own. The wet belts, if anything, have a shorter life than conventional "dry" belts and replacing them has all the labour costs of replacing a failed chain. Personally, and I know it's unfashionable, I approve of conventional belts. Yes, you have to schedule in replacements, but you can budget for it and it's a lot simpler process than having to pull off and reseal timing covers, sumps and so on. If timing chains were good for the life of an engine, they I'd go with that, but too many are prone to failures, often without warning (unless you are skilled) and is expensive to fix, at best. At worst, it involved catastrophic damage. But in any event, I would never have a "wet belt" engine.

[@garyalford9394]

Thought most everyone went back to timeing chains for good reason. I would never buy one of these stupid ford ranger trucks !

[@yongamasotondoshe7518]

Is this applicable to these New Gen Ford Rangers (Wetbelt) I think they also share same engine with VW Amarok and they also made/assembled here in South Africa

[@cameronmartin931]

Yep

[@lrdisco2005]

Manufacturers don't give a toss when it comes to maintenance, so customers get to foot the bill.

[@zonie70]

Wonder what the cost of this "maintenance " is ?

[@harveysmith100]

I wonder how many Fords are running around with the stickers in the sump.

[@timal81]

On the 2.2L please ? Or 2.0 , thankx

[@haraldpost]

So you need to undo the steering tack and the sump to do the timing belts. This is not normal.

[@cameronmartin931]

No it's not, but neither is a "wet belt" design. As someone said below, all the disadvantages of dry belts and chains and none of the advantages of either!
