Fair play for doing first belt on video,, it will be fine,, done loads over the years even with the cam locks and bottom pulley locked when you turn by hand always waiting for that smack on a valve,,to this day even with lockers i still put couple marks with tippex just for a visual reminder,,,,,

Fair play to you, I’ve been fiddling with cars since I was in my mid teens and have only just done my first timing belt at the age of 50, on my step daughters Ka (Fiat 500 engine). Back in the day cars had chains, not belts, so I never had to do a belt when I was fpdoing my own maintenance on my 60s Triumph back in the 90s, and I’ve always left my more modern cars to the professionals since then, but I baulked at the price quoted to change the belt on the Ka so I thought I’d do it myself. After a 3 day long week plus this evening I now know why they cost so much to do, it’s not the parts but the hours and hours of labour! I probably took about 12 hours altogether…

Cracking work pal... no harm in a little extra sealant when fitting water pump... however you literally need a smear to work in harmony with the factory seal... too much can sometimes have an adverse affect when tightening down...also you don't want to risk it spilling into the Bolt holes as this will also affect tightening and at worst can cause fracturing. Great videos !!

That timing belt was a disaster waiting to happen, and more likely an expensive one. Well done for doing a great job.

[@dinatarkteruz]

I remember my first timing belt, you're right they are scary at first until you do a few. Enjoying the channel mate👍

[@gandhi1078]

I’m the same..I left school & started mechanics but as I hated school I didn’t want to go to college. Like you say bills need paying & the pay wasn’t great so ended up in factory work..now 44 & I do all my mechanics (good job as I own a T5) wish I would’ve stuck at it.

[@spencewatts2667]

Good on you chap. I did my first cam belt on a audi a4 tdi some years ago. I was nervous after for the first couple hundred miles. Then I relaxed. Keep going mate. Your doing well.

[@billhutton7766]

Well done for having a go i’am sure you’ll be ok . Like you said first time for everything you followed the procedure so fingers crossed 🤞. Great content 👍👍

[@kirwanjohn101]

Hello, juts stumped accross your channel. I'm interested in the 500 fiat. I admire your courage in tacking these jobs, like you I wish I had trained to be a mechanic. Greetings from Dublin 😊

[@sid111sid111sid111]

Huge amount of work 😳, you're putting the graft in 👍🏻

[@NathanHiley]

Well done nice video and fair play to getting stuck in on a cam belt change for the first time made it look easy 💪🏻💪🏻

[@AngelaJohnson-dv8fj]

Well done. The presentation is very informative,and the music is lovely.

[@bryanohara445]

Thanks, followed your video and thats mine done as well. Brilliant guide.

[@bigplum1957]

[@Love500]

Frightens the B’Jesus out of me but you made it look quite simple. One day I’ll try it.

[@martinjones849]

Wurth pump had mine ages for brake cleaner

[@andrewlightwood3895]

Old setup on that cam belt ford and vauxhall was using that set up 30 years ago , I would be tempted at some point to do a coolant flush with the crap that came out with the water pump

[@johnmclaughlin6683]

Your doing a fantastic job on your channel love the content the videos are great

[@dinatarkteruz]

Ah i was hoping to see your face when you turned the key🤣. On my first belt some bastard workmate hid under my ramp hitting something with a spanner quick🤣 i shit myself and turned it off haha

[@christinamurray2912]

Well done with that! It’s a scary job I should know 🤣 I would recommend you take rocker cover off again and put some sealant on the shoulders of the dips where the pulleys are located either side fiat do this as you will leak oil on the corners otherwise….500s are a real issue with space to work on eh!
