[@tobiasarndt1008]

Mine has 205.000 and this is the first time im changing the Timing Chain. Really helpful Video thanks.

[@owensautotips]

@@tobiasarndt1008 that’s awesome buddy! No problem at all

[@tobiasarndt1008]

Well now im finally about to Change IT. Was scared all the time but now i have enough free time. Is there any Link for documents thats Tell me the Torge for the bults Form the timing cover?

[@gertv06]

Thanks really helpful and it seems easy just lots of bolts and covers. Wil do mine over the weekend

[@owensautotips]

Glad it’s helped buddy 🙏

[@frankmoehlenkamp1264]

Thank you. This Chain is so easy to Change. I had made, as i was not ill, the VW 1,4 TSI Chain. No marks on it. You had to Take a clock? In the spark plug hole of the First Zylinder for OT. Some engines had bekome a Chain at 60.000km. but i had liked to doo them. Some needed much more than only the chain. We Always had to Look what VW wanted to Proof or change. Sorry my english is not so good. I hope you can understand what I meen. I don't know the english word for Messuhr

[@owensautotips]

No problem buddy, but yes these chains are easy to do. Same as Hyundai/Kia chains so easy

[@audimanuk]

Subscribed !! Great video, tells us just what we need to know plus you fast forwarded the boring bits ... ' perfect !'

[@owensautotips]

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback and the sub!

My Clio has almost 120000 km at this point. 9 years old. Never had one single mechanical issue, it's been a perfect car. But a few days ago I noticed a rattling noise and stopped by an official Renault shop (in Portugal) and as soon as the mechanic heard the noise, he said that it was the chain rubbing on the top, just like you pointed out in this video. Their estimate is almost 2000€ and they replace everything, including the oil pump (for whatever reason). It makes no sense to me. Why not replacing only the faulty parts, like in the video? But then, since this has the potential to completely ruin an engine, I'm afraid to go to any other mechanic other than the official Renault shops. I'm so conflicted. I want to fix this, but I feel ripped off paying that much and replacing stuff that probably doesn't need replacing in the first place.

[@owensautotips]

@@BrunoPascoalPT seems like dealers like to oversell to make sure there is no come backs if you understand me. So they replace everything in that area to insure it doesn’t come back.. But oil, seals etc yes potentially a oil pump chain but don’t see why you would replace the pump unless it was faulty

[@UneasyMusic]

any chance you can share torques and sequence pictures ? Also on some videos I've seen people don't take the rockets cover - what's the reason for taking it off ? gasket ?

[@owensautotips]

Pretty sure I shown it in the video bud

[@UneasyMusic]

@@owensautotips yeah 3:28 but it's not visible fully, and 14:01 is okayish numbers are bit blurry. Where do you even get those ?

[@owensautotips]

@@UneasyMusic to take the top chain guide off to replace it

[@civicowner07]

Did you enjoy taking that timing cover off again to put your dipstick in that you forgot? Been there, done that myself

[@owensautotips]

Yes buddy it was lovely 😂

[@almosgarage]

Great vid, do you know if the crank is keyed on these? Unlike the ford 1.6 taper with flywheel lock. Cheers for the upload

[@owensautotips]

No flywheel lock etc on these mate

[@almosgarage]

@@owensautotips hey mate did the timing chain this weekend, thanks for the vid helped a lot. But man putting all those fuel and vacuum lines back in was a mission, like a freaking puzzle when your tired lol

[@owensautotips]

@almosgarage haha glad it helped.. you get use to it 😂 always good to take pictures along the way too for reference if needed

[@AcousticOjlof]

Hi, thanks a lot. Very clear video and instructions! One question. Which gasket maker should be used? Cheers

[@owensautotips]

Few you can use, a lot of people have their own preferences. You could use dealer sealant or loctite, my garage uses derko

[@AcousticOjlof]

@@owensautotips Should it be silicone, anaerobic or RTV? I am gonna do this job soon, my biggest concern is oil leakage after it's done... Elring dirko, is that what you are using? No leakage reported? Thanks

[@owensautotips]

@AcousticOjlof I use derko High Temp

[@AcousticOjlof]

@@owensautotipsthanks a bunch

[@sonofsouth2800]

Mechanic mentioned timing chain replacement, rockers and tappets along with head gasket repair. Engine has 35000 miles. Would you recommend additional work?

[@owensautotips]

@@sonofsouth2800 30k miles? Is the head gasket faulty? Don’t see why you would pull the head off unless it’s faulty

[@Nex0k]

Do you by any chance have the part number for the oil seal on the timing cover?

[@owensautotips]

@@Nex0k I don’t sorry

[@chrisgiddings7314]

Hi what mileage was this car at I’ve got one with 52000? That sounds bad

[@owensautotips]

This one was on 74,000 miles buddy, they can go anytime depends on service intervals, which oil is used etc

[@AndrewMD1104]

@@owensautotips mine is over 115 000km but if you read the service manual it is recommended to do it at 90 000km, just read it today.

[@nepane]

@@AndrewMD1104 not the timing chain.. serpentine ,vbelt

[@razvanursache9493]

Do you need any locking tool?

[@owensautotips]

Not on this engine. Only tool you need it the crank shaft holding tool to tighten it up. And too remove it if you don’t have a impact

[@chase_b]

That tapping sound when the engine is on, is that normal for the clio? I thought my car had an engine problem.

[@owensautotips]

Shouldn’t have a tapping noise no

[@myr7231]

Change the taming chain. Is week so is tapping up at the cylinder.

[@marekolek1947]

How hard should you tighten the crankshaft bolt?

[@owensautotips]

Can’t remember of my head but it is in the video buddy

[@michaelharris5370]

I think him say 50 NM ?

[@bjorn2290]

Mine Renault Kadjar 1,2 130 from 2017 change chain in 27000km is this so bad made or what now i change oil every 15000 km and for now 107000 km no noise yet !!

[@owensautotips]

Just lack of servicing on this one bud

[@LuckyEsihle]

Hi,what does the colour mean on the tensioners pin,some tensioner pin are yellow others comes with the red pin?

[@owensautotips]

Pretty sure the colours don’t matter

[@AndrewMD1104]

@@owensautotips I think it is dependent on by area or country, mine is pink. All come from the east anyway

[@j-sprinkfild6406]

hooa friend, do you have the cylinder head tightening for the H4bT engine, I'm building one and I can't find it anywhere 😔

[@owensautotips]

Drop me a message on instagram with your registration

[@Gucciskits]

How did yu adjust it?

[@owensautotips]

You don’t, you install the new chain and tensioner. When you pull the pin out the tensioner it will self tension.

[@Gucciskits]

@@owensautotips ohh yess I mean how to you rotate it soo it's timed well? I wanted to see that part since the timing was off before you installed the chain thank you 👏

[@owensautotips]

@Gucciskits you can put a spanner on than camshafts to move then cams in line then out the chain on both cams to hold the tension

[@Herbertti3]

My sandero 2021 has developed a ticking noise in the engine. I asked mechanic to diagnose it and answer was it sounds like timing chain but cant be sure at this stage, we have to let it develop little more. 25k miles on the clock, do you think its possible I already have timing chain issue? Edit. 0.9TCE

[@owensautotips]

Depends what year it is and what’s the service history like

[@yagyabaderoen7822]

H good dayi my 900tce has a slping noise and and a misfire and the brake pedal is rock hard any ideas i will check it over the weekend

[@memeguyTM]

Manufacturer states to change the timing kit every 90000 km.

[@owensautotips]

Depending on what country

[@nepane]

where did you get the info.. theres no schedule for timing chain. you do need to change the serpentine belt

[@memeguyTM]

@@nepane it's included in the accessory kit replacement which must happen every 90000km. You can ask a Renault dealership or even check on warranty met guides from Motus or Carter who deal with Renault imports.

[@nepane]

@@memeguyTM timing chain has nothing to do with accessory kit.. ur mixing serpentine belt and timing chain

[@owensautotips]

There is no service interval for chains from manufacturers. Chains “life time use”. If the vehicle is maintained correctly.

[@M3f80bmw]

Why removing valve cover?

[@owensautotips]

Cause you have too

[@Therealmitchc]

​@@owensautotipsThanks for the video has helped massively as I've just done this job on a captur. I have to say though that I did the job without taking the valve cover off atall.

[@owensautotips]

@@Therealmitchc that’s awesome buddy, I always take them off. It’s good practice when the chain starts to slap as you can check the cams etc. and the rocker sits on top of the timing cover so better to seal with off

@ what do you think of Renault Captur II 1.3 Turbo engine 140HP ?

[@jamiepaton5449]

Really bad practice not charging lower pulley and oil pump.chain. Should not re use worn lower pulley. In the chain kit you get the lower pulley and oil pump chain and guide for oil pump chain. The wear on the old pulley will prematurely wear the new chain out quicker. Should have told your customer that if u cant do the job properly or not at all. Also you havent changed the exhaust pulley which again will be worn. Simple job of taking sump off and oil pump to do job properly. Good video but poor job. People do not follow this video

[@owensautotips]

As stated done what the customer can afford. Don’t beat me down for doing my job bro

[@AndrewMD1104]

​@@owensautotipsit would be awewsome if you told me if there are any special tools needed to change the sprockets of the camshafts, thank you very much :)

[@UneasyMusic]

@@michaelmayer2171 from what I've seen you need to take sump off and oil pump to loosen the chain, otherwise it's not possible to take it off. I guess that's why people try to save money there, because it adds quite some work to the whole operation
