WHY CANT FORD MAKE THINGS SIMPLE! 1.5 ECOBOOST WATERPUMP FAILURE. THIS CUSTOMER WAS MORE THAN LUCKY.

[@olliesengineworld]

I work at a ford dealership I wouldn't buy any ecoboost engine these days or even the transit 2.0eco blue engines they all gone so down hill The 1.25 and the black top zetec engines are the best never any issues with them

[@richardjones3112]

Agree 100%.

[@bazmeredith]

Great engines the older ones were 100%

[@tonymcnamara9368]

2013 tdci, never missed a beat! 118k miles, a new timing belt at 100k miles, serviced every year from new, now do oil change every 6 months.

[@Lexusman65]

Whats the new 1.5 diesel engine like?

[@olliesengineworld]

@@Lexusman65 good engines up to yet not had major engine issues so should be a good thing

[@normanedwards7220]

So much work involved, , I thought it was bad enough doing the water pump on vivas and escorts ,

[@shaunblakemore7150]

Great job as always 👍

[@simonbailey2151]

I definitely don’t envy you having to work on these ill-thought-out engines on a daily basis. How do you work it all out?

[@bazmeredith]

It's second nature to me buddy.... Ask me where the hover is at home and I haven't got a clue 😂😂😂

[@harrysmith5353]

You do a lot of good work. Not many as detailed and experiences as you and do this sort of work on the daily. How much would you charge to do a timing kit on a 1.6insignina 2018 Iv just paid 2400 to do the chain and replace clutch with oem. Was I robbed.

[@bazmeredith]

No that's a fair price buddy I'm not far off that price

[@harrysmith5353]

@@bazmeredith glad to know. Thankyou for resting my mind. If you ever do one make sure the tensioner gasket goes on really does make a difference. If you didn’t no bud.

Hi Bazmeredith,do you fit the diamond washers to either side if the toothed cam belt crank pulley??

[@UniversityOfTurmoil]

It seems that while engines have got ever more complex they can't get the basics right - eg. dodgy drivebelts and water pumps. (or timing chains on BMW/MINI engines etc). The last ICE cars on the roads are going to be ones from the late 90s/early 00s that seems to have been the sweet spot for reliability/performance/simplicity.

[@ThompsonVehicleRepairs]

Totally agree. Nissan primera honda accord from those years, bomb proof

[@offbeatwarble]

Yep and yet the government will do their level best to get them off the road for more unreliable costly crap

[@chongy9895]

Same with late 90s/early 2000s VAG engines like the 1.9tdi and the 1.8t, engine technology peaked right there for me.

[@urbansoundscapes7734]

Very lucky he has you as his mechanic. Another great job 👍

[@HendrikdeVries-b2v]

What a crazy design by ford, remove the driveshaft holder to insert the locking pin, remove the alternator to remove the timing cover, or that tool to align the crank pulley or it wouldnt start Volkswagen is so much easier, takes just a few hours and you dont have to remove unnecessary parts of the car

[@hunchanchoc8418]

Good grief - on my car's chain cam engine, I believe all you have to do to change the water pump is slacken the alternator belt and unbolt the water pump - end of. And all accessible from the top, with the car standing on the road. Your videos encourage me to keep that car going and avoid these modern horrors.

[@stefan_sth]

My cars engine is a 1.4 hdi (Peugeot, Citroen, Mazda...). Easy to work on. Will avoid Ford and check other modern cars engines before buying.

[@chongy9895]

Same with most chain driven engines, took me about half an hour on my swift sport. Piece of piss. Also on my skoda citigo, the waterpump/thermostat unit is on the gearbox side driven by a little belt off the exhaust cam, also a piece of cake. Why can't they all be like this.

[@konradc12]

My Toyota Avensis with 1.8 Valvematic engine was easy for me too!

[@gmtgmt123]

Ford is the only make i really hate working on and if i can turn down work on.

[@markconnor269]

Great job mate 👏

[@-DC-]

Head Gasket normally goes before the Water pump starts rattling, Absolute Junk these engines.

[@Pricetaz]

not a wet belt then

[@bazmeredith]

Nope no wet belt on these

[@konradc12]

Ford use 'Ecoboost' regardless of what petrol engine timing system used - timing chain, dry belt or wet belt. It basically means slightly smaller engine with turbocharger to give improved efficiency for better economy and power. Unfortunately people associate with wet belts.

[@richardjones3112]

Great video👍.Sound advice.

[@MadMurdock69]

That timing kit you use is the exact same one I bought for my mondeo 2013 2.0 tdci where the water pump was different according to my mechanic so needed to make small adjustments on the outer case..

great job baz!!! ...ive got the puma 1.5 st but thats different to the eco boost 1.5 isnt it

[@bazmeredith]

Not sure buddy

[@craiglishman3134]

It is, this is similar to old zetec set up.

[@alexpogson9807]

@@craiglishman3134yeh very similar to a 1.4 engine. Probably a de stroked 1.7 puma engine with direct injection and a turbo 😂

What the app your using there? Good job by the way done a few myself 👍🏻

[@carltaylor7489]

I always mark the crankshaft pully on most engines I do but I didn't know what that little tool was far good to know 👍

[@chrisarni9421]

Great job baz.how do you lift the car up with the engine mount removed?

[@mikeprada1677]

Why do you have to lock the flywheel as well as the crank?

[@offbeatwarble]

Crank pin is to set TDC it doesn't lock it as such just sets it's position, the flywheel locking tool holds the crank in place.

[@gwl78]

How much would this cost for a mk 2 ford kuga 2.0 tdci.

[@bazmeredith]

About 450-500 ISH

[@gwl78]

@@bazmeredith Nice I thought would be alot more than that, thanks.
