Peugeot Bipper Timing Chain Replacement - Time Lapse

[@mihovilcota8761]

Thank you for the video. Do you remember torque specs for the upper chain sprocket bolt?

[@ttatimbo5830]

Hi I *think* it’s 150Nm according to my data program. And you must renew the bolt (can’t remember if I did in the video!) I did check online and it says 15 daNm which I believe is deca Nm (which is basically 15x10Nm = 150) but please make sure you double check - don’t want you to snap the bolt in the camshaft!

Doing a 1.3 bipper teepee can’t locate the front timing pin hole for the flywheel/crank

[@ttatimbo5830]

I can’t remember if the timing hole for those is the same as this one which is at the front of the engine near the gearbox behind the radiator area, or if they might be underneath the gearbox/engine like the Vauxhalls - good luck

@@ttatimbo5830 cheers mate is it a hole or is it a slot ? I’m starting to think they lock off behind the flywheel, we’ll I know they do lock behind the flywheel with it removed but I was hoping I had the option you had also

[@ttatimbo5830]

@@lewiscross7194 I think it’s just a hole Yeh I originally thought they locked off behind the flywheel, which they do, but there is a hole at the front of the block/gearbox same as in this video

Can you lock the cam at the front and without moving the turbo. Or can you lock it just from the back.

[@ttatimbo5830]

If you look at 2:25, you can see a large Allen key is put into the side of the cam cover behind the turbo. That’s the position of where it locks out the cam. I didn’t want to move the turbo so I used an Allen key instead. It’s not the best way to lock it but I have always done them like that. I may have used a lock tool/modified tool in there but I can’t remember. Sorry the video isn’t really mega clear or in detail. I just did it for my own entertainment really, but if it helps someone out a bit then great 👍🏼

[@chrishirst7716]

@ttatimbo5830 I was thinking if you lock it from the back, can you get away without locking the front with the cam's teeth locking together.

[@ttatimbo5830]

Ah yeh I see what you mean Yes you could probably do that Locking both cams is a bit belt and braces ….

[@chrishirst7716]

Sorry to bother you again. I'm just making sure you lock the top first and then lock the one on the gearbox.

[@ttatimbo5830]

@@chrishirst7716 I think I locked the bottom end first but I may have used the front cam as a reference to roughly find the locking point on the flywheel

Which engine is this ???

[@ttatimbo5830]

1.3 cdti Fiat engine that they fit in Peugeots and Vauxhalls

How long does it take to do that job,and how much would it cost?

[@ttatimbo5830]

If you have done it a few times, it takes about 4-5 hours With regards to cost, the timing chain kit came from a local motor factors but I think you can get them cheaper online now but from memory £150 should get you the timing chain kit, and oil filter and some oil if you shop around 👍🏼

[@ttatimbo5830]

If you have done it a few times, it takes about 4-5 hours and are fairly competent with the right tools. First time it may take a bit longer. I think the book time for that job is 7-8 hours but I can’t remember exactly.

@@ttatimbo5830 so if you cant do it yourself,labour charge of around £300 not including parts?was that a high mileage car? Whats the rough estimate on timing chain life on this car,as i have one myself and like to keep on top of maintenance

[@ttatimbo5830]

@@camperp195 yes £300 is a rough figure. The timing chains rattle if they haven’t been oil changed enough usually. This one had 125k on it and the guide was so bad that it had chewed it literally all the way down to the last few centimetres! That’s why it was making a noise!

[@camperp195]

@@ttatimbo5830 ahhh ok,mine had 47,000 on it,it now has 52 thou,it was owned from new by an old fella who passed away,anything that went wrong on it he stuck it into the dealer to fix( which i wont do) but iam servicing mine every 5 thou,instead of 10 thou,so hopefully should be ok for a while 👍

[@JonathanWilliams-gd2wn]

Where u based ?

[@ttatimbo5830]

Essex - I’m not touting for work, just a bit of an experiment with videos/KZbin - not really a guide but helps me remember exactly how I did certain jobs and highlights some of the procedure for people who might be interested 👍🏼

[@JonathanWilliams-gd2wn]

Give me a price to do mine

[@ttatimbo5830]

Would be around £700 off the top of my head, but as I said in reply to your other comment, I’m not really looking/touring for work, just showing what I did and experimenting with KZbin 👍🏼

I think it's you. I've messaged on Instagram.
