did you fill the coolant back before starting? I saw the reservoir tank looks empty. How many hours did you take completing the job? I'm planning to replace the timing belt of my citroen c3 2013 model this week and this video will be very helpful. Thanks

Why so much force on the bolt behind the pully? Is 50nm not enough then?
@maxautouk

The 180 degrees stretches the bolt to prevent it backing off because of engine vibrations. This a very common design of bolt used in many different places on cars

A fantastic informative video, can't thank you enough ahead of trying this myself. Did i see correctly on the invoice that the belt cost £170 ish quids ? Or was that for all the consumables? If its not too much trouble, do you have a check list of all the seals, consumables which need ordering in advance? Thanks again and well done on a superb video 👍

Yes that was for the belt and tensioner and idler but I purchased those from main dealer directly - you could get it cheaper somewhere I suspect You will need Timing belt Idler Tensioner Ancillary drive belt Coolant pump belt Rocker cover gasket Crankshaft radial oil seal 👍🏽 Also worth doing an oil change if you drop the sump of course… I’d say all in parts were 340 quid or so

This car does not belong to me it is a customer car and we see dozens of these engines every year that required engine rebuilds due to snapped belts, this one was caught early but even the newer, apparently improved belts still wear prematurely and snap - in fact the car in the video despite only being a few years old is now on its third belt already trying to avoid a wrecked engine! unfortunately they are not very reliable engines

@@alexandreryffen6983yes because the inlet VVT on mine locked up when rotating the engine by hand, you need to lock the camshafts to check the vvt is locked, if it isn’t locked and you fit the new belt you will fit it out of phase and it won’t run right - many people do this without tools and don’t have issues but if you have a vvt blocked with old bits of timing belt then it may not lock properly and won’t be in the correct position and you won’t realise it You also won’t be able to tighten up the crankshaft bolt properly without locking the engine

There are plenty of non-professionals mechs in the world who are more than capable of replacing a timing belt especially on a pure-tech car, which is one of the easiest to do, but I can understand why professionals take a dim view of this. Btw I guess you replaced the crankshaft bolt as well as this is in the procedure (cannot reuse the old one)
@maxautouk
4 ай бұрын
@angturil Yes replacement bolts were used including the crankshaft bolt. I think it’s empowering for any diyer to do their own work or at least have a go 😄 but as a professional mechanic I have seen more than one or two cases of a timing belt gone wrong.. there are a few examples on the channel.. I would say this is a medium difficulty timing belt it’s certainly not one of the easiest when you compare to a D5 Volvo, or a G13BB Suzuki engine
