Crikey Rob & Chris, that blown engine was seriously destroyed! After Chris took off the sump and we all saw it looked almost half full of smashed engine parts, I thought to myself “Ford should rename the 1.0 sump pan “parts collection box” 😂🤣🤔

[@peterforrest5181]

Re audio, I think you're missing a trick here. You could buy a dual channel wireless receiver from Røde which supports 2 clip-on microphones with a 70m range. With a system like this you could both be miked up and we would not keep losing half the conversation. Plus, you could set up the camera on the tripod when you are both working on a car but still record perfect audio from both of you without having to be within the IPhone's very limited internal microphone range. Cheers.

[@tonya9955]

You don't have to unhook the coils, to crank and build oil pressure. If you hold the accelerator pedal to the floor and crank, this is call clearing mode. Which turns off the injectors, to clear a flooded engine. Which will achieve the same thing with out unhooking anything.

[@paulhutchins6019]

That wet belt is an Italian design. There is a great video about it being replaced and substituted by a mechanic that works on a taxi fleet, he shows and details the full procedure. Good job guys. 👍🏼

[@matthewc.419]

Iv never heard of a " wet belt " till a few videos ago I think its a werid stupid design me

[@sbrader97]

@@matthewc.419 ford claim it was to reduce friction and the belt originally has a 150k mile change interval. Its so stupid it costs near enough a grand to get the belt replaced on these ecoboost and needs specialist tools for this specific engine. The updated engine in the latest mk8 fiesta since 2020/mk4 focus has timing chain now remains to be seen how that holds up. The service intervals are too high and people might be getting the wrong oil put in same weight but not the one that meets the ford specifications for this engine so that might be wearing the belts faster too. Anything to save some miniscule amount of co2 and mpg at the cost of reliability smh

MOT in the summer is the best decision any home mechanic will make even if that means bringing it forward just once by 6 months. Nothing worse than trying to do your MOT repairs out on the street on a cold and wet winters day.

Made me laugh when you said without pausing to Chris 'that's when you almost headbutted the steering wheel' and without a change in tone straight back to the con rod investigation. Great video and showing the sump with a multiple engine parts is a sight to behold. Carry on with the great work Rob and Chris.

[@jimmac715]

Good to see the Fiesta back on the road so quick. Just goes to show, judging by the state of the old engine, why regular servicing is so important, even more so for the eco boost . Well done again Rob and Chris.

I’ve just purchased a 65 plate c max with the ecoboost engine. No idea if it’s the same as this engine! But I’ve heard from the dealer I got it from that the wet belt change is bloody expensive at best! 😂 I’ll definitely be servicing well under the recommended interval, not going to risk anything! Only done 47k miles aswell Great video as usual fellas!

Thanks!

[@paulhutchins6019]

Hi guys. I'm just catching up with your channel. Love what you do and your honesty and fair prices. I used to be on the tools and then moved on to teaching MV at a college. Just remembered one cheap tool that we used that would be handy for you guys. We used a mechanics stethoscope to locate noisy water pumps and the like. You can hear individual valve clatter, individual alternator bearing noise and even the coolant passing through the hoses! Lol. They are really cheap, get the type with the changeable probes. Saves any disassembly and is accurate. Hope this is useful. Cheers guys 👍🏼

[@colinw1591]

Great results gents. A reminder that those small turbo engines must be serviced regularly 👍

[@watchmrcontent]

Rob - just to correct you, the "recommendation" from Ford is to change that wet belt at 150k/10 years old. Oil changes are recommended at 12,500 intervals on our 2013 model with the 1.0 125 engine. Ours is currently showing 136,000 and running fine, but fast approaching the point where we need to decide if we just carry on driving until it goes BOOM, or spend a lot!

[@1978JonBullock]

Rob , Chris, The fiesta turned out really well. A very straight car with the better engine. Thanks for showing us the internals of the other engine.

[@steveegginton535]

The state of that engine having covered just 70K doesn't exactly fill you with confidence about the Ford Eco boost! Great video and you guys really cracked on getting this one turned round. Think you are selling it a bargain price so someone will get a nice little car although regular oil changes would be strongly advised!

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob and Chris, turned out nice, glad you showed us the old engine internal faults. The wheels look great in black, and the mopped out scratch has almost gone. Good buy for someone as usual. Alex.

[@leonb2637]

I suspect that the oil was only changed once like at 10K, not maintained at the right level, a lot of local, slow, stop and go use, rarely used on highway or any distance. Likely not much oil in it anyway (3 l's capacity with filter ?) Looks really good, likely a good runner for years for its next owner. I suspect you will disclose that has an engine replacement and mileage on it.

[@mikejba]

Wet belts are rubbish, end of. As are the ridiculously long oil service intervals these days. But another great job guys, great to see another car kept back on the road!

[@jeffshaw4553]

Wow unbelievable the damage to the engine that’s shocking I have been unfortunate in this situation with an engine and this happening literally few months ago not on Ford but vauxhall vivaro but had no history on vehicle when I bought it was devistated when got bill for £3,000 for it being rebuilt well done guys top quality as always 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@mickymac6571]

For the sake of thirty quid I would never run an engine more than ten thousand miles without doing a oil and filter change regardless of the service intervals, good content lads.

[@stephenricketts7764]

Well done Chris and rob for finishing up that car, Chris even found some change! I like the wheels as they are, as you say they're not going to be done again. The car sounds sweet now and has a years new ticket so all good. I am with you on the question of mileage, it is illegal to 'clock it anyway but the car has done much more than the engine so that is the true mileage with wear and tear. You might expect a race engine to destroy itself like that but a three cylinder block, that is crazy. I think maybe they should change the service intervals. Thanks again Rob and Chris for such an indepth video hope you both have a great weekend. 👍 👍

[@daystatesniper01]

[@TheDaf95xf]

What a result guys 👍🏻 Get involved swap the engine out perfect fix 🤩

[@mikeymike3634]

Ford never learn do they? what would have been the difference in production costs to "chain drive" that oil Pump? I was an apprentice when the first Mk 3 Cortina's fitted with the Pinto engines came out and we had a 2 litre GT come in for it's first service. Long story short, on starting the engine after the oil and filter change the oil pressure gauge on the centre console showed very low oil pressure Investigation showed that Ford had fitted a core plug at the end of the maim oil gallery instead of a welch plug and the high oil pressure had blown it out! On stripping the engine we found it in the sump! Even though that engine was scrap, amazingly it had been running quietly.... Later engines came fitted with welch plugs....

[@andysteele996]

2 ltr Pinto engines used to knock the ohc out. I changed many Cams due to this . Ford then modified the oil spray bar to provide more lube to the camshaft lobes.

[@johnhughes7274]

Another top class job done, and good to see what the crack was with the seized engine. Well done lads 👏👏

[@alexadrianmanifold7899]

When Ford design a new engine do they bench test it to simulate high miles. If they did then surely these problems would become apparent. Maybe they know its going happen ? Anyway gentleman another excellent video. Enjoyed it very much.

Without wanting to patronise, when spinning over for oil pressure always try and disconnect the injectors rather than the coils, that way you avoid pumping unburnt fuel into the CAT and possibly damaging it. Appreciate often it’s not possible to get to the injector plugs easily.
