THEY WERE TOLD TO SCRAP THIS CAR!!!!! BUT CAN WE SAVE IT??? THE WORSE I'VE EVER SEEN....

[@sthillarys52]

That is just one incredibly lucky owner that her car ended up on the receiving end of Baz’s expertise in the overhaul & repair of the dreaded 1.0 litre Ecoboost engine! Surely with that oil pump pickup so blocked, causing the oil pressure warning light to be permanently on, it would only have been a matter of a few more miles before the engine would have been total scrap! However because his vast experience led him to do the initial check for camshaft wear, which proved to be only very slight anyway, he was then able to go on to completely save the engine. Amazing job as always 😊.

[@bazmeredith]

@@sthillarys52 appreciate this 🤙

[@PurityVendetta]

Great video again. I'm an engineer and mechanic keeping classic and vintage motorcycles on the road. I'd hazard a guess that the only thing that saved this engine to get it to the point where Baz could sort it out is the quality of modern synthetic oils. Obviously the engine had been running with much reduced oil pressure for a while and as Baz points out, very poorly serviced. This was a superb save. It does hassle me that people are more and more treating cars as throwaway white goods. This video just goes to show the huge difference an intelligent technician/mechanic who understands the intricacies of what he's doing makes.

[@JC-hu1wd]

Baz not Daz.

[@ast6537]

@PurityVendetta absolutely no one checks there oil nowadays....unless they've been told to do it by there Grandad or there Dad...people don't understand that when that oil light comes on that your engine is probably toast 🤫🤫

[@PurityVendetta]

@ast6537 I meet all sorts of people who don't even know how to open their bonnet nowadays so that doesn't surprise me 😕

[@davidoldboy5425]

I agree, like you I love restoring engines and despair at peoples basic knowledge of what they need to check on a regular basis. However I see why, they are accustomed with modern cars to see warnings come up from sensors for oil, tyres, windscreen wash etc etc, not realising with some of these lights the damage is already done. This has only gotten worse with PCP/leasing where people treat cars as throwaway items, relying on the annual service even for tyre pressures and windscreen fluid. However even in the past things went wrong, a friend of mine (a good engineer) bought his daughter a car, a small mini. He showed her how to do the basic checks, but she obviously never listened carefully, I was with him when the phone call came. 'Dad, the engine oil light came on, so I filled it up through that hole you showed me, it took a lot, now there's oil everywhere?' that was a new engine needed.

Doesn't matter how many of these wet belts you do mate. Always a pleasure to see you saving them. Like you've said. If you look after these engines they can go on for a long time.

[@stephenreed1080]

Great work as usual Baz. With the vaccum pump, i would have personally replaced that. Being staved oil could cause the internal seals to fail prematurely. Also, the one-way valve on them have normally fallen apart. We keep spares in stock to quickly swap out

[@lmstuber6044]

Brilliant work as usual....

[@syncrosimon]

You are an example for all mechanics, thanks for sharing.

[@AJ-tj7jm]

Judging by the cheap as chips oil filter, the oil used has been the wrong spec too hence why it's in such bad shape.

[@lopes3955]

Top work as usual. Funny I heard the brand Kamoka but never used it. I bought some Bosch filters for 1,5 euros each for one of the cars. Also like to change oil every 6 months or 5k Kms for the daily and and the 2-3k Kms for the fast road car. It is always funny to watch these neglected engines. I knew a case that didn't know you need to change oil, so the car stopped working at 60k Kms with no oil in the engine. (Lol)

[@dion5643]

Amazing how many people still think the oil light means it needs topping up with oil 🤷🏼‍♂️ it’s a miracle that engine survived !!

[@dragosdragos6058]

The DV6 1.6 hdi as well as the 1.6tdci same engine i took all the turbo filters out as you said it killed them. I ran a 207 with the 90 bhp engine , after replacing the turbo on it for a year without the filter. Never had an issue if anything in Europe it became the norm to take the filters out, the diameter of the oil feed pipe was good enough to alloy small debris to go through without the filter.

Fantastic diagnosis and repair. Your videos just go to show these engines are not as bad as people make out if properly maintained. As a Citroen Puretech owner I appreciate how important regular and proper servicing is. Wet belt engines will not tolerate poor maintenance like some engines of old could. A lucky escape for the owner of this Focus.

[@stephenreed1080]

The good thing about the puretech engines is the belt can be changed in 3/4hours and you can check the belt and know exactly when it should be replaced.

[@tomcurran65]

Wow I'm amazed that car survived oil starvation like that, and to be holding oil top side of the strainer... unreal. Even the turbo is ok, your customer got away light there. If your engine doesn't knocka, fit a Kamoka 😂. Anyway back to Wales v France 👍

Here agreeing with all you said and sympathise with your last sentence! Bloody WRU...

[@alanoliver535]

I still think these Ecoboost engines are rubbish .

[@AJ-tj7jm]

@alanoliver535 The Ecoboost is just like the Rover K series, great engine with one fatal flaw. Drive either with mechanical sympathy and service them on time with the correct spec fluids and quality filters and they will last ages. Many manufacturers including VW and Honda are using wet belts in their engines it's a bad idea being adopted industry wide not just an ecoboost problem. Would I buy one yes but only if it was either brand new or had a full main dealer history.

I sold my last car with 400,000 miles on it and was still running fine. Oil and filter change every 5,000 miles and regular maintenance of all wear and tear items by myself kept it running sweet. Too many people think so long as they put fuel in it, it should run fine😮

[@indecisiveauto]

Always great to see one saved! 😊

[@ladalout245]

Looking at the general wear on this engine I reckon this car has probably been looked after quite well until the last owner got the keys and it was all downhill after that, poor unsuspecting woman bought it from someone who probably told her they'd lost the receipts for servicing etc. I reckon folk that don't service things don't look after things and it's generally best to steer clear of their cast offs. Would be interesting to see the contents of that Polish oil filter as the belt wasn't as bad as expected?
