I HAD A TRIP TO A&E AFTER I ADVISE EVERYONE TO BE CAREFUL WHEN DOING 1.5DCI TIMING BELTS......

[@mikeberry304]

Ive done a few of these , love the metal gasket , i was once doing a sill repair, cutting out the rot with a slit disc on a grinder , turned the grinder off , pulled out the rot patch , then leaned over ,10 secs later ,grinder spinning slowly picked the grinder up strait to the wood on me finger , blue roll ,masking tape new glove and cracked on , 3 days later almost healed , now have 30 mm white line on me finger 😂😂😂😂😂

[@mikejba]

Top job , as ever Baz. Hope you can still pick up a well deserved pint with the damaged hand 😁

[@keithstarr8213]

Smacked up knuckles ,crushed or cut digits bruised napper all part of the job.keep up the good work baz.

[@markanix]

Those metal gaskets are lethal. Had a few cuts over the years from them. Hope your hand heals up well.

[@ttatimbo5830]

Glad your hand is ok…. But, that’s what they made super glue for! Hands and feet bleed lots and makes you worry more than you need to, but as long as it’s clean and you have superglue to hand, you can be back working in 10 mins 👍🏼

[@fredders10]

Brilliant video! Im about to do the timing belt on my Megane IV 1.5 dCi Blue later this year. Any 1,5dCi Blue coming in that you could do a video on? They have watercooled charge air and a different number on the tool kit and timing belt kit so it would be interesting to see the difference 😊

[@user-ux9ll3yk5y]

Bought a brand new one in 2021 , it was the worst car iv ever driven . Steering was so dangerous and the dealer didn't have a clue . Sold it on to dacia retail after 5 months and was glad to see the back of it .

[@davidb8676]

Great vids cheers baz great for me as I am learning the trade 👍

[@cypeman8037]

I don't think I ever do a job whether its gardening, DIY or car servicing and I don't injure myself. Dropped a caliper carrier on my finger, the nail went black immediately, painting the garden fence, 1/2 splinter down thumbnail, cut insulation off cctv wire and sliced my thumbnail off diwn ti the flesh. All in the past month. Im a right clumsy twart.

[@Theorangeman.]

Top job baz

[@KeithPotter-ph4cp]

Baz, I am 60 years plus mechanic and really enjoy your videos my friend. Reference any wet cambelt engine they are a total design disaster. Rubber and Fibre does not work in oil and degrades the belt hence the problems. I advise anyone thinking of buying a car to avoid a wet cambelt engine. Looking forward to seeing you change a clutch on 6 speed EAT on a Citroen Vehicle plus any electronic setup. 😮

[@jackriddell3311]

Had a good laugh when you said “working gurn” have you also noticed everyone has a hammer face when they’re braying 7 bells out of something with a big lump hammer

[@gregshearer423]

A cut my pinky moving a toolbox and just done my usual taped it up and carried on wasn’t till a got home and gave it a proper run under the tap all you seen was the pure white of the bone 😂😂

[@billsheehy1660]

Safety first 😃😃😃

[@Theroadsidepatrolman]

Gaffer tape around you hand would have fixed it baz 😉

[@tonyc2837]

Crazy idea to use a metal water pump gasket isn’t it.

[@-sargntclashroyaleandmore-491]

I remember getting my pinky finger caught inbetween a weight hammer when trying to remove steel weights on a rim once... absolute agony and my nail ended up coming off later on...

[@ladalout245]

Sooooooo much easier than a wet belt change on an ecoboom!

[@kernchu]

Did exact same thing last week on a renault kangoo

Heard they are pretty reliable. Have you tried replacing the wife, replace it with a younger model, usually does the trick.

Great job, bad luck with the mishap. Do you know the torque setting for the auxiliary belt tensioner on these please?

[@bazmeredith]

Off the top of my head no I don't sorry

[@TimRobinson-u4z]

What garage do you work at baz? Would you do timing chains on an Audi a6 v6?

[@cabottaxi]

I think your workmate doing a wind up using the air tool when you start recording. He's standing smiling behind the wheel. 😀 Worst injury I got when removing drums on the back of an Astra. Caught my fingers behind the drum after replacing the shoes. Blood everywhere and at A & E a junior doc plunged my fingers into iodine. Hit the roof. 🤐

[@bazmeredith]

Worst I've had is spinning a mini rear wheel with 12 inch wheels on and smashing my fingers to bits on the subframe 🤢🤢🤢

[@georgedaville4662]

Just looking at my 70 yo mits and evaluating war wounds, amazing how you remember how they all happened. Great video as per Baz, really enjoy your content👍

[@garyatkinson5699]

How did you get the plastic water pump cover off as it runs behind the fuel pump

[@deancook4173]

Have you had many of these that the camshaft timing is half a tooth out and if you correct it, it make a horrendous rattle so you have you keep it half a tooth out

[@bazmeredith]

I've not no buddy

[@leesmith10uk100]

I tried to peel that same gasket off and pulled it and went straight across my digit filled my glove up 😢

Dont Be a puff - clean it out with brake cleaner and put cone sparky's tape over it !!

Baz ever snapped a crank bolt ,seems like it would be a nightmare 🙃?

[@mikeberry304]

I have on a 16 valve petrol clio , after doing a belt kit , not even gunned up tight I had to centre punch the new bolt out , put the old one back in no problem 😂

[@erolserif5357]

how do you start the car without pressing the clutch pedal?

[@bazmeredith]

Don't know buddy it just started, might not have that function

[@billtheplayers1]

Hi Baz, great work and advise. My son has a 2011 1400 Corsa d and keeps showing timing error "P0335 crankshaft position, sensor error. and P0011 Timing cam over advanced or system performance ban. We have changed the sensor but the problem remains. It drives well for a couple of days then stalls and becomes hard to start, but will then run well again. I beleive there is a vvt valve and ocv filter that may be a cause if intermitant failure. Your thoughts please.

[@bazmeredith]

Could be possibly the timing chain
