Life of a Mobile Mechanic | Ford Focus Full Service | Volvo XC90 Cambelt Replacement | VLOG 9

Sundays are meant to be rest days, even God had to rest on a Sunday, but I didn't. Does that make me... 👀...
Anyway, our family friend required our service due to their vehicles needing our help.
Their Ford Fiesta needed a full service but with a small catch, they wanted to use their own parts; well, watch what they brought!
Shortly after, we also did their cambelt and water pump on their Volvo XC90- at least with this one, decent parts were used!

He the best mechanic I seen on KZbin

[@barryjackson8512]

Nothing wrong with that oil. Better than no oil change at all. No point it paying for a name.

[@mumtazzafar5696]

Some of the oils are 50 pounds for 5 litres and if your car takes 6 litres then you will have to buy 2 costing 100 pounds just for the oil change. Its ridiculous

[@jellyd4889]

Can use the rest to fry fish.

Volvo D5 timing belt replacement is a nice straight forward job if you know what you are doing, As for the water pump if factory Volvo leave well alone, Genuine Volvo water pumps are legendary! My 2003 Euro3 D5 is on 242K miles on it's original water pump with no issues! The biggest flaw with the D5 is the auxiliary drive belt failing/Fraying and getting dragged up by the timing belt causing major engine damage due to a poor timing cover design by Volvo, Put a front end auxiliary drive belt kit on it when you do the cambelt, I did it to mine and INA do the OEM kit for about £115.

[@Kalus_Saxon]

11:34 in the 90s we used cornflake boxes as gasket maker 😂

[@gary6579]

Them XC90s its good practice to change aux belt and tensioner at the same time as cambelt. Great video.

[@richie674]

We have a focus mk3 1.6TDCi , Peugeot / Citroen / Ford Duratorq DLD DV6 engine 2013 , The horn on these is prone to failing , simply prise out the left hand triangle plastic cover left of number plate , the horn is situated behind there , remove the spade connectors & use a small wire brush to clean terminals on horn & spades themselves , spray a little WD40 or similar on the terminals & inside the spade connectors then reconnect & test - problem usually solved if relay & fuse are still working ,also keep these videos & helpful tips coming in my friend you seem an honest very hard working guy who just simply trying to earn a living 🤗

[@rizla6220]

Great Videos, Keep them up :) I know not all vehicle owners would want you to do this, I write on the filters the date and mileage they were changed at, all so the amount of oil need for service and A/C gas needed for a recharge some where. Saves looking it up for next time ;)

[@stephendeller7531]

Marvel very good mechanics

[@christopherready8568]

Love this chanel. Excellent work. Would love to see a hydraulic power steering pump replacement on a MK 1 2.0 insignia lol. Maybe one day. Thinking of changing mine soon.

[@HA05GER]

The horns usually a connector on the mk3 focus behind the right small grill. Give it a good tug youll see the horn. Stupid connection on them comes loose. I hope that helps someone if you was hoping to see in thevideo.

[@Carl-re6zb]

[@mikelaraa]

Love to see it!!!

[@neho86]

The oil filters usually tighten with pressure over time. I know this as I change my own every year, I do it hand right but the following year I have to get a tool on it. Unless you have the 2.0 TDCi Peugeot engine found in fords that for some reason loosens itself off over time.

[@themarvelousvlog]

People doesn’t know this unfortunately 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@stephendeller7531]

Very good mercin

[@theunqualifiedmechanic7570]

Drivetec is comma oil nothing wrong with it just cheaper

[@thisispointless29]

Used to work for a small franchised motor factors years ago for a small period of time and I can honestly say there’s nothing wrong with the drivetec oils, they make many many different specs of oil to meet all the requirements. We stocked a massive amount of all the drivetec oils and a small batch of comma oil, all and I mean all the trade customers used the drivetec, no problems I heard whatsoever. In regards to the castrol oil checker it’s recommendation is wrong. A pre facelift mk3 focus only takes 5w-30 wether that be zetec or a PSA diesel, Would be correct for a facelift however (did 4+ years at Ford)

[@AlexF-se8rd]

I think there is a lot of marketing in the oils world. There are amazing oils in lesser known brands.

[@sm-hh4wq]

we always use Castrol or Mobil oils and oil filters/ Air Filters we always use Bosch, Mann. Castrol Magnatec or Castrol Edge. never had any issues at all cars love these oils and oil filters. u can use 5W30 instead of 0W20 if your car consumes oil or has over 70,000 mileage. OW20 oils are too Expensive and its very hard to find Castrol or Mobil 0w20 4litres or 5 litre ones in our local carpart shops.

[@tonyfox1434]

Nice, I used to be a BMW mobile technician

[@ZakKol69]

Audio was 10x better on this video dude! Also that Volvo belt actually looked fairly decent to do!

[@themarvelousvlog]

More practice on equalising. I’ll eventually get there 😂. No mount to remove on this. Doable within an hour

[@terryjones3755]

Autodata and alldata list both 5w 30 and 5w 20 as options ford the ford as long as the 5w 30 complies with WSS-M2C913-C Spec you'll be just fine.

[@PaulJones-bu2ho]

Nothing wrong with Drivetec oil, been using it for years and never had an issue with it. I'm not about to go and spend stupid money on oil, when Drivetec oil does what its intended and meets the spec for the car its going into 🤷🏻

[@lint8391]

I've used Mannol oil for my last 3 changes (on 2 different cars). You can buy 20 litre cannisters of it for not too bad a price.

[@dorsetguerrillagrower]

Hey bro love watching your videos please can I be a pain and ask probs a silly question, I have a 2007 BMW ,320d I had turbo replaced, I have noticed on start up if I rev car slightly when revs come back down it seems to activate the wastegate and then stalls my engine , another question since having turbo replaced when I turn engine off sounds like a jumbo jet woosh noise any ideas would be great thank you

[@McRizzle23]

It annoys me how expensive the specific oil is for wet belt engines. For example the psa 1.2 pure tech recommended total ineo first 0w30 50 quid for 5 litres.....a contact at stellantis advised if you don't use total oil ineo first (or the othet approved 5w30 total etc) the belt will degrade due to specific formulations.

[@Ppp-kk6hw]

Keep up the good work and honesty big up from Scotland 👍 mate

[@alanoliver535]

should have had the tool for removing oil filter less mess.

[@Leehuss5582]

Hello Brother I am in Ealing West London, was checking if you cover the West area? 👍✌

[@Sportage5603]

I use drivetec on my 2007 astra. I change it every 5k. No issues with it at all as long as it meets spec. Mannol is another good and cheap one

[@mumtazzafar5696]

Have you tried mannol ever

[@Sportage5603]

@@mumtazzafar5696 yes its good

Nothing wrong with the cheap and cheerful Drivetec oil it does the job

[@themarvelousvlog]

Yes, ‘it does the job’, just like bringing your car to a garage with poor google reviews due to their crappy workmanship; does the job, but is it good quality job or is their job enough to just get you home? 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@ronanwood6891]

Used it for years myself with no wear or sludge. No need to be a brand snob its actually decent just get the correct spec

[@suilfisean]

Man... Drivetec mafia indahouse 😂

[@tonyl1984]

Looks like the customer went to their local Costco & save themselves a few penny's by supplying the service parts 😂

[@themarvelousvlog]

They might as well have bought Walmart/ASDA oil 🤮😂

[@philgc11111]

Worst thing you can do to ford eco engine is put in the wrong oil, due to the timing belt .

[@MegaReddevil71]

Not the ecoboost motor its a good old 1600 zetec se with conventional timing belt

[@user-sf7kl9uh7k]

Wet Belts are a terrible idea

[@jellyd4889]

I agree, an oily belt is a bad thing. Oily timing chain is a good thing.

[@vyniljunkie100]

Wasn’t drivetec the allparts budget brand I remember the pads and discs where absolute shite come to think about it even the starters 😂

[@youtube2kwatcher]

i would never touch a ecoboost they known for alsorts of problems to go wrong and when you need to service the wet belt its not cheap nearly 1k and more depending on garage

[@Ahmed____]

As long as the DriveTec oil meets the Ford specifications for that engine then it is perfectly sufficient. Yes it might not have x or y additive (that is not essential) but it will perform as intended by Ford.

[@lint8391]

I would say that oil that meets the manufacturer's spec and is changed every 8,000 miles is - probably - better than the most premium branded oil changed every 9,000 miles...

[@stuartc6811]

Oil is oil just remember to use right spec and change it Regularly

[@themarvelousvlog]

It’s like saying water from a river is cleaner than a water from a filtering station. It’s not all the same mate unfortunately, regardless if you change it often or not

[@daveawhittle]

To be fair if you went to GSF and asked for oil and filters it’s what they would give you, not the best but certainly not the worst either

[@roy2689]

Have you had a bad experience with the Drivetec oil?

[@norb0254]

Nowdays the oil is so critical to an engine ,gone are the days when good old Castrol GTX went in any engine ..This is why i do all my own servicing ,even on brand new cars i have bought ,I personally use all OE parts and the brand of oil recommended by the manufacturer ..Nowdays when a dealer may have 4 or 5 franchises on 1 site ,and the mechanics work on all the brands in 1 workshop ,The dealer is not going to stock all the different oils ,they stock 1 the cheapest they can get and put it in everything ,especially if it is in bulk tanks

[@jellyd4889]

And you have no idea which one they put in.

[@norb0254]

@@jellyd4889 no I don't know what they put in and that wasn't my point..also he did mention that in his opinion it wasn't good oil..my point was how nowadays oil is critical unlike years ago

[@rogerrambit4447]

Where did you put the pry bar?

[@imrana2077]

No pollen filter?

[@bikeman123]

If you do low miles between changes you dont need expensive oil. Most important is to use correct spec for that in oil cambelt.

[@DarkReaper-or9el]

7:48 😢 i thought the oil filter torque was FT drivetec oil is alright i dont mind it in the dinger i mixed with mannol because the peugeots developed oil burning properties 🤣 average peugeot and its got christmas dash ooo... and the gearbox doesnt go into gears. My daily is a 2008 golf 1.9 TDI strong. While the banger is the peugeot and works sorta ish about as much as i want it to. But the point is using cheap bollux is the sake of redoing something because someones bought an ebay service kit. And then blames you when shit goes wrong. I hate the prices garages charge but end of the day thats how we make money. But cheaping out on crappy car parts hell no!

[@kriswhale8718]

Better to be too tight with the oil filter than have it fall off😂

[@peterarries7879]

Thought you would check the rear wheel bearings suspension etc on the Ford, or was that just not put on to your video

[@themarvelousvlog]

Hi, If I was to include the full checks, it would be a very long video. In the near future, I will be uploading a video of a full job that we do, which can be up to 5hrs long

[@tonymcnamara9368]

Think a new undertray will cost around 30 quid for an aftermarket one, no need to drive an order vehicles with botched repairs.

I think in all honesty if what your trying to do is be successful and popular on KZbin, de grading a oil supplier is not exactly going to make car part company’s want to help with your success

[@themarvelousvlog]

Dare anyone to use non-spec oil on the new PSA wet belt engines, VAG 1.5 engines and BMW B38 😂

[@Mjk10957]

I never buy cheap oil when I service my car or my wife car I use shell helix ultra on my car and Castrol edge on the wife car. The cheapest oil I have used was that euro car parts QX stuff on a corsa C that I was using for a daily run about for a couple off months while I was waiting on my new car still gave it service because it needed it however if I was planning on keeping the car I wouldn't use the QX stuff it does seem ok though . oil is the life blood off the car I don't feel cheeping out on that is a good idea. I am not A brand snob either but when it comes to cars you got to use a quality oil if you want the engine to last same with car tools I only use Halford Advance they are good quality and well priced , when I first started repairing my own cars i started off with some cheap tools form B&Q and to be frank they where crap lol , I Decided to invest in some nicer ones and a mate recommend the Halford advance ones so I bought a set and it was like night and day and never used anything else since just keep adding to them I still got the 90 piece set i bought 10 years ago and they still work a treat and never failed me. The 1.6 Duratec engine is a decent little engine that engine if maintained correctly has a lot of life left in it why ford went over to the eco boom engine is beyond me. the power steering reservoir bottle is cheap as chips cost me around £15 a couple off years backs when I had my MK2 focus it snap when I was changing the power steering pipe , very simple to change to. I had the same issue on my old mk2 focus with the filter being to tight ( my fault ) I just banged a screwdriver in like you did but I just kept the screw driver in and used that to loosen it off. Really enjoying your videos by the way on nights and your channel keeping me entertained while on duty 👍
