Very good video, shows all the difficulties you will have while trying to do the job. Well explained.. Don't know if I will have the patience.. 🤔👍

Brilliant video mate - you have patients thats for sure - Im sure the designers TRY to make things as hard as possible for mechanics !! Thanks for posting

Thanks. Yes, such jobs are far more awkward than they should be....especially when it's a 5 yearly maintenance item.

I think you did well everything considered ... it's easy to criticise others when you're familiar with the job

Thank you for the video, lots of useful info. However I found that you dont need to take the fluid reservoirs or bracket out or slacken the chassis engine mount nuts because the engine lowers just the same on the 3 very accessible 18mm head bolts that attatch the engine to the mounting. the clearance from the chassis to the auxilary belt tensioner and idler pulley is only about 40mm so i needed to buy long cranked 13 and 15mm ring spanners to fit the space, as you said it is very challenging. If I were doing the job again i would weld 13 and 15mm sockets on to flat bar to make removal much easier and i would drill the flat bars to use a luggage scale to torque them up on reassembly. I also found the timing belt cover is best wiggled out and removed underneath. there is a plastic pipe mounting clip that marginally touches the cover so i cut the end off it and used a nylon tie to hold the pipe into the clip. Hope that helps someone.

Once you start it, you have to finish it. Still it was my first time doing one of these. If I ever have to do it again (which I wont), it will take less than half the time.

Hello.There is a twin cam timing chain on the other side of the engine head.Thats what the two camshaft locking pins are for.Changing this little timing chain 😊sorted no problem.

@GP-pw5wb 3 ай бұрын

And that timing chain wears and stretches in length, resulting in the chain jumping a tooth. The valves then come in contact with the pistons with one awful mess occuring. So be warned if your Ducato has a rattling nose when cold and the engine power has fallen away a tad change the chain quick. Could save you the cost of a new engine.

Wait what? What do you mean there is a timing chain? Why and how does that work exactly? I though these engines had timing belts which is what the video is all about. How and why is there a timing chain as well? I'm completely confused now.

@terrybrowne459 Ай бұрын

@ Hello again. Yes absolutely,there is a small timing chain on the opposite side of the engine .The two small locking pins in the kit lock the camshafts (2 of them is twin cam16v)so you can renew the camshaft timing chain keeping the camshafts in unison.simples🤓 Yes you still have the toothed timing belt on the front of the engine.It drives one camshaft and through the chain the other is driven. Hope this clarifies things a little. Take care T.

@swunt10 Ай бұрын

@@terrybrowne459 Makes perfect sense, thank you. Still, fuck Fiat for putting a stupid timing belt on the engine instead of a proper twin timing chain that lasts forever.

@GP-pw5wb Ай бұрын

@@swunt10 Only thing is chains do not last forever either, they wear as well. The small drive chain at the rear of the cylinder head failed on my 5 year old ducato at only 33k miles. Cost me a fortune to put it right.

@stephen846 Ай бұрын

You should really have slackened the cam sprocket when changing the belt. That is why you lock the two cams. It makes fitting the new belt a lot easier and more importantly distributes the load evenly across the belt.

If i had a non air conditioning ducato 2.3, would it be possible to change the single belt camshaft damper pulley to a double pulley (buy a spare part) by simply removing the old pulley and replacing the new? i know i need to fit all the other components, compressor, evaporator etc but you can buy a universal kit for this, i just need the drive pulley supplied from the engine crank.

@GoGreenAutos Ай бұрын

I'm not the best person to ask, as this was the first time I'd worked on the Ducato engine. But I can't see why not. As for fitting the air con...I'm surprised it's worth the effort.

Hi thanks for the video, Ummm I’m a little confused sorry I’m in the middle of doing my timing belt on my iveco daily van and I’ve been watching lots of videos and well some are saying when you tension the belt that you first do on the loser mark,then turn the crankshaft full 8 times étc, then re-adjust the tensioner to the tighter top mark on the tensioner ? You do it the opposite way round? ( Help) I don’t want to screw this up? Cheers curt 👍
