Peugeot / Citroen 1.6 HDI . Timing Belt & Water Pump Replacement

[@Lightescape1]

Absolutely magic - I'm just buying a Berlingo with 100 thou on it and an unknown belt change date so its going in ASAP to be done. Its good to see the work that goes into it. Great video. Thanks a lot!

For any American watchers to avoid confusion, in the UK the fanny is the front bottom not the back botton

[@samrodian919]

Lol!

[@woodant1981]

Doubt the Americans have anything as small as a 1.6HDi😂

[@nigelbennett316]

lol 😂

[@P51Maniak]

Hi guys you are good mechanics I also have an old 1.6 HDI Turbo Combi Van 2008 and I really enjoyed your video. You really did a good job !!! Congratulations and greetings of Switzerland Alan

[@Dark-Lord3386]

Very well explained video. The best I've seen on this job

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi John and Karl, thanks for the video, good on ya Karl for giving up ya time, and as an old mechanic I can say you did a great job bonny lad, checking more than once that timing and everything was spot on, hope you got a full English out of it, lol. Cheers lad's, thanks for the video, best wishe's to all, Stuart Uk.

[@Peter_Nottle]

you make it look sooo easy. I know, from years of experiance, its not as quick and easy as that, especially on a Peugeot😁

[@threeinone6977]

Great video, I've got a Peugeot 1.6 HDi enjoyed watching it.

[@ianaristotlethompson4186]

Good job. Karl deserves the breakfast. I don’t miss all those sharp edges and cable clips.

[@daverichardson5861]

Great vid John. To think back in the mid 70s I used to moan changing the over head cam belts on Vauxhall/Bedford engines especially the CF van were room was quite roomy compared to todays room. Cheers and stay well.

[@TedRoza]

G'day John. Excellent Video. I have fitted quite a number of belts over my time, & to be honest these days, because of the complexity & the specialised tools required in some cases it's easier & cheaper to get it done like you have done. Changing the water pump at the same time is always the cheapest way to do the job. Thanks for a great video. It's like the old Bedford van, I think they just grabbed a chassis, put a motor into it, & just built everything around it. 😆 🤣 😂

[@SeanBZA]

That is how most vehicles are built, engine comes as a complete unit, all accessories on it, on a sub frame with steering and suspension, that is simply bolted into the frame and carries on along the line.

Piggy power is the bees knees ..just completed full gates cambelt kit overhaul thanks to piggy power ..he gave the best vid for this figment …thanks piggy❤

[@SeanBZA]

Ina, a good manufacturer of bearings, so a very good make to put in. Yes to doing the pump with the belt, and I would also suggest slitting the bottom cover, so it can be slipped off without needing to pull that crank pulley off. Was a common thing to do to Ford CVH engines, saving you at least a half hour on every belt change.

[@raymurphy9749]

Thanks for looking after our John ,Karl 👍

[@peteisi113]

Very professional & impressive. Tricky stuff :))

[@bobhudson6659]

I thought you said you had a full kit. Where's the shots of the top and bottom seal replacement? Or like me you only replace the seals every 2nd belt? Retired mechanic/machinist in Land Down Under.

[@SeanBZA]

Full belt kit, not the full engine kit, which means all seals for there, both for cams and crank, but which also means you might as well put in a new clutch, release bearing and do the slave cylinder as well, because no extra work, it all comes apart anyway.

[@bobhudson6659]

@@SeanBZA If you look at the Dayco catalogue, their timing belt kits for most cars provide a timing belt, tensioner, water pump plus top and bottom seals, one for the crankshaft and one for the camshaft. Those seals leak after a while. If the water pump is replaced as a precautionary measure, so do the seals need to be replaced. You can also buy kits with only belt and tensioner but here in Australia a full kit includes cam and crank seals. They have nothing to do with full engine gasket kit and seals.

[@SeanBZA]

@@bobhudson6659 Different countries different suppliers. By me the most common is all parts separate, and you buy what you want, though most spares places will suggest you buy all the parts together. Yes the seals do get hard with time, but in general I do not see them being sold as part of a kit. Plus if you are doing the crank seals you want to do both, so that will mean changing a clutch as well, as it, along with flywheel, will have to come out. In most cases that means sump as well, and then you are doing the full engine seal set with clutch and cambelt.

[@alexmorgan3435]

@@SeanBZA If a seal isn't leaking leave it alone.

[@aminyasak210]

nice one guys.. great advice the whole way through!

[@chris010281]

I'm not sure if your engine is the same as my 2009 citroen c3 picasso 1.6 hdi but the cam belt tensioner on mine is to be turn anticlockwise

[@diabolo3506]

Exactly. ;)

[@alan2804]

Im just about to do this job on my 3008 1.6Hdi, the workshop manual i have is vague about the crankshaft pulley bolt torque, is it 35Nm then 190 degrees?

[@captura3919]

Yeah that’s right, but if you use a impact wrench that’ll do the work just fine😊

[@kwakkers68]

Grand video :-) I wish manufacturers would stick to chains!

[@carlwilson1772]

The knob part and the fanny part. I must remember that. Such a lot of fuss to change that belt.

[@johnmcculloch4009]

Hi, would appreciate your advice please. I bought a Dayco kit online. Strangely the belt tensioner plastic bag was open. The others in the box were sealed. Is it possible to damage the tensioner before it is installed by removing the pin ? When I came to line up the hole with the new belt on, I had to turn the allen key clockwise to line it up. However the arrow stated to turn it anticlockwise. I am concerned this could really cause a problem. What do you think , please ?

[@rhendry5832]

You’re overthinking it pal. Take a chill pill and get it tensioned up.

[@jasaanderson7221]

Cracking video guys well explained

[@garethdavies7627]

I've just got a Berlingo Van same age as this 1.6 HDi. Garage told me it was a wet belt?

[@diabolo3506]

Only for motor Puretech essence

[@fredflintstone8048]

Very similar to changing the timing belt on the Volkswagen TDI.

[@martiniv8924]

I’ve not long just done one of these 🤔 (in a dispatch)

[@careyautorepairs]

Nice video lads.

[@bigun447]

Like you, I absolutely hate to work on my own vehicles. Unless I am building one from a bunch of parts and pieces I have collected.

[@georgeclarke1183]

what would you charge for this cam belt and water pump change please

[@doubleboost]

Between 5 and 6 hundred

[@Juris.Ivanovs.2079]

Tusen takk 👍

[@alanm8932]

I guess this is the newer 8 valve 1.6hdi because it doesn't look anything like my Citroën Xsara Picasso or my friends Peugeot Partner that both have the 16 valve 1.6hdi.

[@stephenreeves9025]

beans on toast one good turn deserves another

[@boydovens4180]

He did a good job , deserves a nice reward .

[@jasaanderson7221]

What's the reason for the plastic impeller , anyone

[@mattdodds2954]

Dont know why but i always imagined you drove a pontiac trans am with a big gold eagle on the bonnet

[@garywelsh7230]

given the bother I'm having work my HDi engine with the coolant I wish I had that vacuum.

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

have you had the evil dreaded unstoppable beeping glitch yet from the dashboard?

[@telfordlive]

Hold down all three buttons above the screen until the infotainment system reboots.

[@nigelbennett316]

It says “focus ya bastard” 😂😂😂

[@lrdisco2005]

Why they don't design the tensioner with another 5 degrees of movement, the belt would fit much easier .

[@kevinkidah280]

Always wonder why PSA could not just put a timing chain to make it the most reliable engine or maybe they don,t want it to be reliable??? but why....

[@diabolo3506]

Because pump water.

[@Meeliskt77]

You change it once in cars lifetime. Not very hard work to do.

[@markedevold1261]

👍

[@bobdixon6060]

well dune

[@spector592]

What was the mechanic in a rush? the way he was pulling the parts off?, speeding the bolts down with a standard ratchet? slipping of the bolt heads, the water pump was put on wrong? hitting the mating surface with a crow bar, to get the old one off? then not following the correct tightening sequence. the pump goes in in 2 stages one at 5nm then the other at 9nm, then he tightened it down with a machine then a ratchet NO torque wrench? the tensioner was not correctly positioned the arrow was well off set? no torque setting which should be 30nm, instead he could had stripped the threads pulling on just a ratchet like that in a rush? the idler wheel again to brutal with the ratchet speeding down the bolt in a rush no torque setting which should be 37nm, the belt was not all the way over especially on the cam cog, i wouldn't let this young man anywhere near my car, i don't know why the owner didn't do the job himself he seems to know what's involved to the point it seemed he was worried 😯 😯 with how he was just slinging things together, shabby work done in a rush no moving SLOW over the bolts to get a safer job out of it all , if i was the owner take the belt down and reposition it all mate or the belt will fail or start clicking.

[@doubleboost]

I have never hurd so much shite I all my life . Welcome to the real world . Cogs belong in church clocks not inside engines. Why don't you do a video showing how to do a belt correctly.

I hate plastic impellers on water pumps. My buddy had a 5series bmw and no one could figure out why it was overheating. When I pulled the pump, there was nothing left of that plastic piece of shit!
