Replace Timing Belt Kit in Ford 1.4 TDCi Engines | How to change timing belt in Figo Fusion Fiesta

[@vinny5095]

dude you a life saver ... i bought the timing belt kit and a new water pump.. the mechanics are charging ridiculous prices to do the job ,with this video i can definitely do the job myself .. i just need to go over the video a few times

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Glad to hear from you brother.

[@GlossaME]

How did it go?

[@vehiclemaintenanceandrepai3790]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise unselfishly, this is a very useful video as a 35-year veteran mechanic I learned something new today.

Made my day mate....😊😊

[@kamalchoudhury2910]

Is there a particular position of the flywheel when i need to insert that allen key to lock it? Please let me know.

[@dailyhandsdiy]

There's a slot where the key locks in. just insert the key and rotate the flywheel till it locks in automatically.

Have you ever had gen 1 figo tdci engine cutting out when clutch pedal is pressed in?

[@AndrásSeiler]

Hi! Thanks the video, it very useful! I did a very big mistake, I used the tensioners L shape pin to lock the flywheel when I want to reassembly the crank pulley. The little L shape pin does not fix the flywheel and somehow it falls to the flywheel in the transmission housing. Is there any way to remove it from there? I didnt see it under the car and didnt hear anything it just disappear when I pull the crank pulley bolt. Thank you very much!

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Thats a trouble. Should have used thicker allen key to lock. One way is to remove starter motor, use a flexible magnetic holder and try to push it to the bottom of the housing. if lucky it gets picked and if not, you may want to take the gearbox out. ☹️

[@adamwarren1104]

Hi great video. Just a question. It appears youhave dint tve timing belt replacemy without the use off a garage hoist, Simply jacks and stands .so its doable??

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Yes it's doable...only difficulty is to crawl down to remove the timing cover and support the engine.

[@ajikoikal1]

Do we need to change water pump along with timing belt?

[@dailyhandsdiy]

It depends, just shake the pulley and check if it has a wiggle. If yes change it.

[@visharadsudans]

Hi mate when we need to change V belt for swift diesel ? Is it kilometer dependant or time dependant ? Its done 50k in 8 years

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Either 50k kms or 5 years which ever comes first.

[@fanclub69]

Great work. Really appreciate. Did you notice any improvement in the engine sound after changing the belt ?

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Not really...it sounded same as before.

[@fanclub69]

@ Thanks for quick reply. It helps. Next week I m planning timing belt of my diesel fiesta. I have one issue. I see sometimes the engine makes noise and sometime its smooth. Meaning while pushing at 2nd gear its smooth. But especially during cold weather it feels like reluctant and makes noise. Is it a sensor problem. I m too curious to know. If you have idea plz do share.

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Common issue with 1.4 tdci engines is injector calibration and actuator fault. Rarely, dirty maf sensor and non working fuel preheater does the same.

[@fanclub69]

@@dailyhandsdiy oh ok. I have recently changed one injector. Its of Continental. Prior to that vehicle RPM was clocking 2k at max rev. So if i have to outline its actuator, maf sensor & fuel pre heater. Actuator … I need to check where its located. Fuel preheater meaning glow plug you mean? During injector change 4 glow plugs were changed.

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Could just simply clean the maf sensor, preheater is fitted to fuel filter next to water sensor.

[@dav3yuk]

Great job. I've got to do this on my 1.4 TDCi Fiesta but I have to replace the front crankshaft oil seal so need to remove the bottom pulley completely. Is there an alternative way to lock the crankshaft without the pulley ?

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Hi there, you can remove the pulley no worrys...just lock the flywheel remove the crank bolt and remove both pulleys....toothed pulley has tapper lock. Pull it out, replace the seal. make sure the timing ring stays strong attached to the toothed pulley...and put the pulley back and tight the bolt. Now remove the flywheel lock and set the timing locks accordingly. rest shows in the video.

[@dav3yuk]

@@dailyhandsdiy Nice one. I best get a timing belt ordered too although the car has only done 70,000 miles. It's a pain in the arse just to fix an oil leak but the front seal is leaking worse than the rear one now and i've got to pull the gearbox out as well to do the rear one 😭

[@walkerrobinson9614]

My 1.4 tdci 2002 fiesta engine sounds like yours, is that normal or is that a knocking engine?

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Normaly these engine make a lot of knocking noises especially when cold. And the one i handled, had one injector in trouble,thats why it makes abit louder noise

[@hsb0989]

I got it done in my Figo when it was 9 yrs old n running around 60K only... visually the belt condition was perfect but still I got changed to avoid any risk.. thank you for video..

[@dailyhandsdiy]

its a safe preventive measure to replace the flexible parts in vehicles. Its a good idea to check the belt for small cracks and it if there s...no second thought..just replace.

[@RatchetWarrior93]

Is the locking of the flywheel just to remove pulley? Can i just use my milwaukee gun to buzz it off?

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Using an impact gun is not recommended for crankshaft bolts...use wrench and hand power.

[@RatchetWarrior93]

Also when did you take the allen key pin out of the tensioner? When the belt was on ? ​@dailyhandsdiy

[@dailyhandsdiy]

No, just took it out simply and adjusted to slip in belt. Could loosen it after the belt is secured...both way works and doesn't matter...

[@dailyhandsdiy]

There's a spec ie for idler its 35 to 38 NM, tensioner 28 to 33NM, Crank bolt, tighten it as much as possible with hand or 150 to 180NM would do. Be carefull with the idler and tensioner bcs if you dont know how tight the bolt should be, will ruine the threads and make a big trouble.

Yo bro, do you have any advise of how to clean enginebay, and under the car for oil (vw polo 1.2 TDI 2011). It is dripping oil underneath the car, and I want to clean the car to see where it comes from.

[@dailyhandsdiy]

hey there bro, normaly ppl prefer waterless cleaning for dust and small oil spreading but extreme oil leaks spry diesel in pressure cans towards the engine bay or specific spot. As diesel wont conduct electricity you are safe with the wiring. Let it soak for some time and spray some petrol in pressure can. Try avoiding the petrol over flooding over orings or seal areas as petrol can react with rubber and lower the oring's life. This will wash away the oil concentration. just start the engine idle for 5 mins so the fuel residues will be vapourised by the heat. Now drive and look for the fresh oil leakage.

[@dailyhandsdiy]

Normaly oil leaks from cam or crank shaft oil seals, oil cooler seals, vacuum pump orings, valve cover seals, ccv pipes or fitting, turbo housing and mostly the oil pan gasket or sealant.
