Removing the TIMING BELT on the VIVARO! THIS COULD HAVE DESTORYED THE ENGINE!

This timing belt isn't looking too hot. It might go bang. So we decided to change it.
Why should you change your timing belt at the correct intervals? Because if you don't, engine go boom. Pretty much. So we get the belt changed on the Vivaro and DAMN, it's lucky we did it when we did.
We have uploaded the videos from the old Harrison Watts Restoration channel. To rewatch, all videos are in the Harrison Watts playlist

Fuzz Townshend tip, cut belt down the centre long ways without taking it off, slid new belt on half way then cut rest of old belt off all done

The bolt doesn’t have to keep in. You can take it out once tight in. When van vibration bolt come off anyway.

I’ve tried using those apps for tensioning cambelts on my Ducati and got very irregular readings so I use the old school method using an Allen key as a feeler gauge. I’ve probably done a dozen belt changes over 20 years and never had any issues so guess it works! NB, I usually err on the side of slightly slack, especially on an air cooled motor, as it’s extremely rare for a belt to jump a tooth - it would need to be hanging for that to happen! 🤩

Doesn't need the screw in. The other bolt is to secure it

[@Elysianplains]

Well done 👍🏻

Good job 👍

Omg the cam belt should be changed every 5 years or 50,000 miles on the 1.9

[@yumyumbaboon]

I bought mine off the first owner when it was 13 years old/260,000 km and it had never had a belt change before because he thought it had a chain! As he said to me " Lucky I drive like a Vicar" 😂

[@sailingdarren]

hi there can you take the water pump off without taking the timing chain off

[@fred1987randall]

How did you remove the torq bolt from the crank? Its a bloody knightmare!

[@henrikf2822]

Hi there, I didn't quite get it at the end. Was the fuel pump timed or not?

[@DanTheMan-chanic]

No fuel pump isn't timed. The timing comes from the injectors. The pump just keeps constant high pressure through the (common rail) fuel line

@@DanTheMan-chanic Thanks!

[@bikerlad3138]

@@DanTheMan-chanicare these hard to do I’ve done few berlingos they’re easy but got to replace high pressure pump on one of these

[@henrikf2822]

I only payed attention to Crank-Cam timing, and engine is running fine.

[@RD-650]

Good job 👍
