[@terryrich4285]

I was just stranded on the m4 near Cardiff luckily I bought a belt last week as was squeaking.. this video literally saved me thank you

[@maxautouk]

Aw sorry that you broke down but glad to hear the video helped

[@kelvinlayton6978]

Great comprehensive, well explained, cheers mate. Keep up the good work

[@maxautouk]

Thank you for the comment!!

I should have finished watching this video days ago! seriously, you've given so much help in this video, im a fool for stopping it and not finishing it. CHEERS FOR THE UPLOAD, TOP STUFF.

[@maxautouk]

Thanks for the comment! ☺️

I am loving your channel! Sooooo helpful for me as my aux belt started crying for attention a little while ago but I was having difficulty finding out part sizes or being confident that the online part stores suggestions were accurate. Sometimes those sites gave me options of two products with different part sizes and labelled them as suitable for my van, which just made me more confused which one was right. Your video was crazy helpful. I'm just ordered the right size parts and belt and I'll let you know how it goes - thanks so much!

[@maxautouk]

Thanks for the comments... The aux belt is a nice and easy job you should get on just fine!

[@sproutyDP]

Thanks for upload - very helpful. My tensioner pulley bearing totally disintegrated and the belt fell off. Luckily it happened less than half a mile from home!

[@maxautouk]

That is fortunate you were at least near home they seem to go at the most inconvenient times!

[@Zippytie]

very usefull , thank you and excellent , calm , steady , polite delivery , brilliant , thank you .

[@maxautouk]

Thank you for the comment

Top right is vacuum pump with water pump under it. I couldn't get enough leverage on the tensioner to get the belt over the tensioner last so in desperation got it half on the crank shaft pulley and turned the engine over for 2 secs. Did the trick and wound itself on!

[@maxautouk]

Glad you got it done! They can be a bit trick I must admit

[@johncooper5293]

I think the new belt is slightly shorter than old hence why so difficult. Even allowing for stretch in old belt

[@maxautouk]

@@johncooper5293 I’ve had the same problem myself with these transits, I’ve found continental to be the best fitting belts

[@darrenwardell3079]

Brilliant video. Many thanks

[@maxautouk]

Thank you for the comment!

[@yankapoodle]

Really good video. Thank you.

[@maxautouk]

That's very kind, I'm not very good at making videos but I try my best

[@R1davies]

Can you help me please. The unit is stuck in the hole. The lug nuts appear to be holding the "sprung" section and i cannot pull it free. The bolt holding the tensioner pulley has gone. So it"s basicly just the two aluminum sections. Any help to get the unit out would be amazing. Thank you

[@maxautouk]

If its unbolted and held ip by corrosion a hammer is your friend

[@R1davies]

@maxautouk yeah I whacked it and it fell out. Thanks

[@nonyabusiness2703]

4:02 the trick is not catching it in the teeth when that bolt lets go!

[@maxautouk]

Yep that’s it!

[@catrevenger]

Thanks for upload mate, great video. My question is do i need to use the same newton/meters of torque for the tensioner and the idler pulley bolts for transit mk7 2007 2.4 tdci? You use 48 Nm for yours, are they the same 48 Nm for my transit as well? Thanks

[@maxautouk]

Yes it is the same thanks for the comment!

[@catrevenger]

@@maxautouk, thanks for the fast response mate.

[@maxautouk]

@@catrevenger no problem

[@yeahboiproductions7065]

Good video mate. Any tips for fitting the new belt? So tight!

[@maxautouk]

Big spanner and pull it as hard as you can and slip on the new belt… it’s tough!

[@yeahboiproductions7065]

@@maxautouk I ended up heating the belt up in some hot water and pulling on it a bit to stretch it. It wa still tough but that made the difference. Cheers for the reply bud!

На старом ролике полая часть смотрит на двигатель а на новом ролике полая часть смотрит на радиатор. Пологаю что разницы нет.🤔

[@johncooper5293]

Same for Mk7 transit rwd

[@maxautouk]

Thanks for the comment!

[@dunster10]

Sorry to sound silly but the last pully at the top is it supposed to spin freely

[@maxautouk]

It should spin but stop, and it should have no play when you wiggle it with your hand. It should NOT spin freely for more than a few seconds that's usually an indication of lack of grease inside the pulley or that the ballbearinga inside are worn. The pulley should also be virtually silent, if its noisy that's also a sign of wear

[@dunster10]

I just took mine of and the new one dose not spin what so ever

[@maxautouk]

Yeah if it had seized that's the other extreme! 😊

[@jamessission3152]

thank you mate that was very good mine does that noise why is your enging so dirty power wash it mate

[@maxautouk]

For where I live driving up and down farm tracks for work that’s as clean as it will ever be!
