Honda i dtec 1.6 is a great diesel engine very robust and 70mpg no ad blue shite

the oil grade was changed to 0W20 a few yrs back, to try + combat the damage the DPF + EGR does to the engine oil, they also increased the oil capacity, this was to make them survive between services... no service - no chance, turbo first, then the bottom end... i say new engine please, the rest is oil-starved + weakened, ticking time-bomb... keep up the excellent vids chaps

There were so many people in my day that thought changing oil was a waste of money.. You just proved how wrong they were.

Hi guys - it’s funny how I’ve been watching your videos for a number of years for purely the entertainment aspect of the channel - taking an interest in the transformations you achieve - as a complete novice ( at 60 ) lol you have inspired me to look at my own car differently and look after it better - keep up the good work !

This is the kind of repair that becomes affordable when you're not paying someone £80++ an hour to do it for you. What a lovely little van 🎉👍

I've got the Citroen van version for work 130bhp automatic, the oil change schedule is 20k miles or 2 years in the service book, I'll be dropping mine out at 10k or 12 months instead!

My 2005 diesel astra has just hit 330k. We've had it from new oil change every 6k still on original turbo and clutch😮 it just goes to show what proper maintenance can achieve.😊

How on earth does Rob keep his white trainers so clean with all those fluids kicking about!!! 🙂

My mums focus has 222k miles and drives like new still, oil and filter change every 6k miles, we always change it as it's cheaper than a new engine or car, we're tryna get it to 300k

The old saying comes to mind oil is cheaper than engines,

Hi Rob and Chris, Ive been fans of yours for a long time, I recently fractured my neck which has severe restrictions on movement so you guys are even more important, so a big thank you for all the videos

The best thing is, it's in the hands of SR-UK It will drive again Nice 1 guys

Nice of your brother in law to help you out, although not sure about the name "Tart and Tyres" but I suppose if your sister is ok with it 😂😂😂. Just having a laugh, no disrespect intended, love the channel

People really underestimate the importance of a simple oil/filter change. Keep it fresh peeps!!

I want to know how rob keeps his trainers so white 😂 cracking video guys will be a lovely van for someone when finished

Lesson learned eh lads. Oils cheap engines are expensive so change your oil. Nice video cheers

I wish I knew a quarter of what Chris new about his craft. Absolutely mental how clever this gentlemen is.

Rob, Chris. There is a bulletin about the DV5 1.5 diesel about the camshaft chain. It is possible to identify whether an engine has been modernized by inspecting the camshaft housing, which has a bulge and an engraved reference equal to 98 305 804 80. On the other hand, if the reference is 98 126 472 80 and the crankcase is flat, the engine is fitted with a 7 mm chain. Just incase you are replacing the crank. Might be worth checking to see if it has the 7mm chain. Good job lads.

@Jordan-nd7jp

21 күн бұрын

I’ve just commented on the same thing. I’ve got the same Engine which I believe is 7mm

We bought a VW Passat 2.0 new in 2004. It came with a 20,000 oil change interval. The local VW dealer (old-school, family-owned) said bring it in after 3,000 miles and change the oil/filter. We did, and kept to a 6,000 oil/filter regime. Yes, fully synthetic oil, but oil/filter change was a darn sight cheaper than engine failure!

These Euro 6d temp engine's are a totally different animal, oil needs to be as thin as water to stop channels blocking

Very interesting content, nice to hear all the knowledge Chris has got.

My dad had this years ago on an engine that was flooded - used fine grit sandpaper clamped on using the Rod and slowly smoothed it out by hand, probably alarm most people but it worked fine. This is another example of an owner not servicing their car properly. It's very simple - take the recommended Oil Change Mileage or Time, and halve them. Get the oil out before it and the filter starts to go and you won't have an issue. I have no sympathy for people who can't take even a passing interest in car maintenance, considering the amount of money that cars cost and how much we rely on them nowadays.

As always, another interesting learning video, thank you Rob & Chris

Incredible Video. I don't know how you two do it. I am in Awe!

Soooo Good to see you back making Videos Chris and Rob 😃😃😃

It’s incredible how a few thousands of an inch of exceptional, abusive wear on the bearings can provide that knock !. Quite possibly made worse by the very high compression in a diesel engine. I’ve refurbished some engines, but those big end journals are the worst I’ve seen for such a young engine. Chris is right in that the oil pump, sump etc indicates zero maintenance on the thing, how that happened we can only guess. Regrinding the crank with over sized bearings would fix it, but the original bearings always last longer when looked after. I think I would go for a replacement engine as first choice, because all crankshaft bearings and cam shaft have suffered, albeit not yet failed. Nice work as always chaps !

Just been watching your first videos. You guys have come a long way and you deserve the success you have achieved. Well done.

This looks to be a great little van. I’m sure you two automotive gurus will have it running like new again very soon.❤

Great vid that shows the importance of frequent (or even over frequent) oil changes!

They never heard of serviceing 😱😱😄😄 good luck with the parts

Great video, very informative and drives home the necessity to do regular oil changes with good quality oil.

Oil is cheap and engines are expensive. That's how simple it is.

🖐🏽Good visit, thanks fellas!

Dr Chris is great at engine diagnosis.

Love the videos Rob and Chris.

Always enjoy the videos on your channel great work guys 👍👍👍

Great job done guys we can always rely on you both to come up with thing to do looking forward to seeing what your decision is keep up with all your great video 👏🏻🫶🏻

Wasn’t that crane last seen in service hoisting triple expansion steam engines in Belfast?

Superb video Rob and Chris, there’s a lot to be understood from what you have exposed - doesn’t look like it ever had an oil change!! Next video will be good. That’s for sure! 😊

waffling on like rob here hahaaa i almost spit my drink out

Good video guys .. chris knowledge is better then a main dealer..... carnt wait to watch the rebuild 👍👍

Id like to thank Chris for wearing his special Black spandex full body long johns and safety belt when bent over inspecting that engine just after you pulled it out, if that was you Rob we might of had the full moon depending on how well the elastic is holding up in your joggers haha

Loving the engine jobs!

A great video Rob and Chris

I’m a PSA tech and yep, this is all too common. Engine looks well gummed up with the sump off. I’ve had a similar one on a 5008 with the same engine where it got caught in the nick of time, as the oil filter was caked in hardened oil and the filter was rock solid. Only has 11k on the clock too 😳. The oil change/service intervals are so so important on all the engines in all the French cars to be honest. Looks a half decent van minus the engine. Just lucky they’re not absolutely awful to work on 😂 nice one lads👌

Rob, you are the font of all engine knowledge. Feed him coffee and watch him go 👍👍👍👍👍

Great content as usual 👍👍

I've just changed the timing chain on my 1.4TSI Golf for the second time... this one - a genuine VW chain bought from Alan Day in Southgate - lasted just 40K miles ! It had stretched just under an inch. And... before anyone mentions the oil, it had new oil/filter every 3000 miles - Fuchs fully synthetic VW coded oil too. The quality of some of these genuine parts is truly appalling.

Great content... cheers guys x

In the early 80s I remember when a van conversion to add windows was a good way of saving money on your road tax. Sadly, I think the DVLA got wind of folks doing this and that was when the 'PLG' classification turned up. Mate of mine's Dad did that to a Mini van.

I've been messing about with engines and cars for 30 years, and I swear every time Chris opens his mouth, I learn something new - thanks for the info on why modern engines pin up off TDC, honestly never thought about it like that 🤓

Love your engine hoist rob its a relic but still does the job 😂👍

With the way manufacturers recommend oil changes at 20-30 thousand miles, isn't this why these problems are becoming more prolific....

My citroen 1.6 diesel at 228 thousand miles, oil change every 6k.... Runs great.... Shame about the body but for £100 8 years ago.... Good car.... Wanted one of these, Rob and Chris.... Looks good

Speaking to Citroen mechanic he told me drop oil every 6000, oil and filter every 12,000, that's what I will be doing, nothing on this vehicle has been tested.
