HOW TO: Citroen Peugeot 1.6 HDi 16v TIMING belt CAMBELT waterpump coolant change IN DEPTH

[@daver3580]

I have owned my own Automotive Radiator repair shop since 1977 and in that time expanded the business to, not only repair or recore radiators but to offer a complete service on cooling and A/C systems which include fitting radiators, water pumps, condensers and oil coolers etc. and I must say that this video is one of the most informative and clearly explained instructions I have seen, keep up the great work 👍

[@PiggyPower]

That's some kind words there chap, thankyou. 👌🐷

[@PiggyPower]

@piggypower excellent video! Got mine finished tonight and it works a treat. Great detail and info! You saved me a few quid so thank you very much! 😉

[@PiggyPower]

[@jdickson242]

I was quoted £475 by a cheap garage. I managed to change mine and the water pump using this video as a guide in 4 hours. Hardest bit was putting the new aux belt on. I must stress the importance of making sure the timing belt is tight between the crank and cam gears. Contitech Timing kit and pump cost. Also did new Fuel filter, oil filter, air filter cabin filter and oil change and some new roll bar links all for £ 171. So timing belt and full service for less than half what the garage would charge! Thanks for the great video

[@PiggyPower]

Great work. All the best 🐷👌

[@jdickson242]

Back again just done my other car with the same engine. Tip for getting the belt on. Loosen the tensioner bolt so it comes out about 6mm. This gives the tensioner some additional play. Put the belt around everything else keeping it tight and slip it on the loosened tensioner, it goes on super easy. Again, this is such a good video

[@NikEastwood161]

this is possibly the best how to on a timing belt for this engine, very good thanks.

Good detailed video and should help loads of people. Did the cambelt on my 1.4HDi a few weeks ago, very similar to this. Job itself wasn't difficult but it just takes time taking many things off and being certain on getting the timing perfect. (Original 17 year old belt and water pump too so I think it was definitely due)

[@PiggyPower]

Definitely due!! 7yrs overdue! Well done! Yeah, cambelts are difficult really, just time consuming to get to them and to ensure they are timed correctly.

Thanks again Piggy! Another fantastic walkthrough that helped me through my first timing belt change successfully.... The car wouldn't start after the change and I couldn't figure out why. I double and triple checked the timing and it was perfect. Took a while to figure it out, but I damaged the magnetic (I think?) strip going round the crankshaft gear, upsetting the sensor. The belt change was perfect, but I need to replace the gear. Not the most expensive of parts to be fair and with a new pump, idlers and tensioner, it's probably not a bad idea anyway... In your experience, do they come out easy enough? I can see a removal tool/puller on Euro for a tenner Thanks again! You're completely redefining "pig of a job" Scott

How do you support engine with plastic oil pan?

[@PiggyPower]

Spread the weight. Wide/thick piece of wood. I have to admit I have yet to see a 1.6hdi with a plastic pan though. Some have covers. But not a pan.

[@OuterSpaceHoppa]

Great video! Do you ever replace the timing chain on the 16V Hdi engines? 150k miles seems to be the interval stated by the chain vendors. There are only a couple of videos on KZbin of the timing chain replacement, and never as a routine item. Looks like a lot of work and at least £100 for the gasket kit, chain, injector bolts etc. Do you think you would do it once past 150k miles on a otherwise clean, well serviced engine? Thanks!

[@PiggyPower]

I would check the chain for lash and tension. Go from there 👍

[@OuterSpaceHoppa]

Thanks for the reply, is there a way to check the chain tension without incurring the cost of cam cover gaskets, studs(injectors) etc. I'm really wondering if people bother at the 150k mile interval, or just play it by ear, listen for a rattly chain or wait for the final caboom! Perhaps I should buy a stethoscope and have a listen periodically!?

[@PiggyPower]

@@OuterSpaceHoppa is there no way to see it through the oil filler on those??

[@OuterSpaceHoppa]

@PiggyPower Nope, I just had the little cam shaft cover off that holds the filler cap (to fix a leaking injector) and I couldn't see the chain then either. I think the intake manifold(needing new o ring gaskets) and cam cover (needing new injector studs, maybe injector fasteners too?) . Two genuine studs and fasteners were £12.50, so £50 for the full set , say £10 for injector seals and about £90 for the chain kit and manifold, vacuum pump gasket and cam shaft oil seal. Quite a bit of work too and I don't see anyone else bothering unless there is a problem identified! My Haynes manual also doesn't give a chain change interval, the 150k mile interval i mentioned is cited by the chain kit manufacturers. Thinking about it I might leave if for now and reconsider if I get another injector leaking later on.

[@OuterSpaceHoppa]

At 163k miles I'm due a timing belt, so it will be a pain to have to do the belt again later on if I decide to replace the chain later on if an injector starts leaking! P.S. my exhaust cam looked good as new from what I could see of it even after 163k miles!

[@carlkirk3467]

Brilliant video, just to confirm, do you not use sealant on water pump gasket?

[@PiggyPower]

No need to add goop when there's a nice new gasket. Ensure surfaces are clean. Gasket is there for a reason. 👍👍🐖

Have you changed the cam chain?

[@PiggyPower]

No, that's not a service item unless it's very high miles/had wrong oil etc.

I'm an engineer and I've got to say to say your work is very good. You can advise me - I'm doing my clutch next week and I'm pretty sure the cat has a DMF. Can I just covert to solid flywheel? There are lots of kits with single mass flywheels but I'm not sure if they are interchangible. The car is a Berligo 2014 with a 75 DV6TED4. Thanks

Hi, Great video! Is it the same procedure on my 306 1.6 motorcode NFT? Would be great to know

To clarify... You're asking if this modern 1.6 turbo diesel engine is the same procedure as an old 1.6 petrol?

[@DominiqueHodzelmans]

@@PiggyPower omg did not even see that is was a diesel engine. But yes thats what I was asking. But the chances are slim I think? Do you have a link of tutorial on petrol engine of the procedure isnt the same. Many thanks for your reply!!🙏🏼

[@PiggyPower]

@@DominiqueHodzelmans big hints are that it's an HDi ... And the fact it has a fuel pump on the timing belt 😜 Principles are the same... Lock the engine at its timing position. Remove belt, tensioners and water pump. Refit parts. Refit belt anticlockwise and tensioner correctly. Rotate twice with timing pins removed. Check timing is spot on. Check tension. Put it all back together. If you're not sure, basic DIY mechanic, I'd get a pro to help.

Hey Piggy , there is something we dont understand ! normally the piston must be at tdc if you place the belt but ..but if you place te timing tool in the crankshaft pulley and check with a screwdriver in the injector hole you nodice that the piston is not fully at tdc ! the piston is a little but lower ! if you want to set the timing on the crankshaftpulley and you turn the engine clockwise the hole in the pulley wil only be in time if you turn the engine so that the piston is further than tdc! ! how is this possible ? or is this normal ?

[@PiggyPower]

Belts aren't always done at exactly 0°tdc ... Put the pins in as I've shown on the video, and it will be in time. In time is just that the fuel pump, cam and crank are in time with one another. Usually yes it's at 0°tdc but some vehicles do it at btdc, some 90°> ... Trust the timing pins. They should all fit easily and smoothly at the same time.

I'm not sure if my crank is in the right position even tho it locks with the pin same as the cam. I think I messed up somehow. I turned the engine over 6 times by hands and there was no Interference so I finished the job and the car did run about rough but I did have the injectors out at the same time as I did the chain also. I have since moved the crank another turn 180 and again turned the engine by hand and was fine. Car runs but I just done know if it's running as it should.

@@PiggyPower the cam is timed both cams inside are linked using the arrows provided so both cams facing correctly I've always pinned the cam pulley and injection pully. I'm just worried if the crank/flywheel is 180 out even tho it is timed and pinned with the cam. As if the crank has had a extra turn that would mean it's not firing as it should or work it make any different as the cam and crank sensor are in sync so they determine what the injectors do. I'm very confused and over thinking I think 🤣 obviously nothing was obstructing with I turned the car over by hand 6 times and the car runs although today I found 2 injectors fueling low so I managed to fix 1 of them just the other to do which won't help. I thought if the crank/flywheel is 180 out I would notice some kind of running issues that I could determine it's wrong and needs changing 180 again when I'm next down there.

@@PiggyPower o and no fault codes at all with my autel. Am I wrong thinking about the crank being 180? Maybe 180 still puts the crank in the same position everyone ?

4hrs in and i still can't get the belt on 😂😂

Little by little.

You don’t need to remove exhaust ! The timing pin will fit if you pop it up knurled end first between the flywheel housing & the exhaust down pipe , then flip it straight & it should fit straight through the hole , then turn the crank pulley while holding the pin till it locks in place , same in reverse till it locks , using the compression cycle to tighten the bolt on stage 1 is not really advised as your straining the teeth on that section of a new belt with to much springing you need to do it while the crank is solid then stage 2 is 180 or 2 x 90 degree turns as you quite rightly say but again while solid 👍

I didn't remove the exhaust from memory? 🤔

Did you mean fuel pump pulley? Thought it was water pump

Going to need to reference a time stamp 😉👍

You must have been very excited when you typed that.... Because I can't make any sense of it... But I hope everything went well with the Jaguar on the ground resting with your bat on it 😂👍👍🐷

fuel pump timing on a common rail engine? hmmmmmmmmm

[@PiggyPower]

Yes. It's pretty common in modern vehicles due to pulses and efficiency.

[@HenryOCarmichaelSmith]

@ower Good to know. Having briefly read up on this apparently timing incorrectly can also lead to premature belt failure. Every day's a school day...

Yeah for sure. I always say, if you stop learning, we stop living!
