Ha! ‘Little’ grafters! I see you 😂👀

You two are magic. I'd break out in a cold sweat starting a clutch at 3pm away from home!!!!

great work fellas. needing a new mechanic as my old garage has just about killed my van. been using them almost twenty years. not going back there again. even lost the under trays for god sake. told me i needed a new engine, as they had it for a month and couldn't get it going, poor diagnostics. took it home and got it running myself. they were guessing and gave it back to me with damage from the timing chain cover, big oil leak, thanks, no gears, thanks again, only went in with a starter relay error, and i had the van from new. now sorting the deisel injector knock as they refitted the injectors without new seals......jeez.....

Great to see some real enthusiasm from these young men ! Great mechanics and the best to them both.

Very lucky owner on the Relay van, respect for doing the box on stands, I used to do that back in the day, passed lying in the road now

Great to see you fixed it, you know your stuff. You know what else is a breath of fresh air? someone who wont rip someone off. A mechanic could have quite easily have said "yes it caused damage" just to get more money out of someone and unfortunately there are alot of mechanics out there like that. Great work guys.

I,m addicted to your channel.

You're Gifted man. Excellent team work.

wish you boys were nr wakefield we need more guys like you around here love your channel and banter keep up the good work guys

Great job guys. I'm amazed that Citroën relay didn't destroy the valves. That owner was a very lucky man, it could've been prevented completely with proper maintenance. That water pump was obviously worn for a long time, and the owner still carried on driving it. Very quick work on the Toyota clutch, great job in crap conditions. Nice to see 2 young people like yourselves with enthusiasm for good hard dirty work.

👍nice work lads

gosh, the cost of all that preliminary work prior to turning the key. You can understand why the dealer farmed it out. Lucky result for everyone.

I have Peugeot 407sw 2.7ltr, a cam belt snapped, took covers off & I think was 12 broken but not snapped rockers, changed all them, new water pump tensioners, cam belts changed oil, & filters, great that Citroen/Peugeot use the rockers as the weak link, saves a whole pile of money for repairs

Good days work boys , lucky van owner .

Another top job lads, especially that timing one. I had my alternator seize (maybe... Not sure what the root cause was really) on the motorway in Germany and needed the timing belt, alternator belt, crank pulley, tensioner replaced and every timing sensor replaced. The reversible alternator was a shocking price (pun intended). Luckily, I had warranty cover (omg, was it worth it this time). 2000 Kms later, I'm getting an intermittent P0341 camshaft position sensor signal intermittent code, and obviously getting a ferry and driving another 1300kms back to that garage in Germany is not an option, so I'll have to get it looked at here (in Ireland) at my own expense. Anyway, seeing the way you guys work, I'd trust you to figure it out and do the job right. Enjoying the vlogs - keep up the good work.

I really wish you guys were closer to me cos I would definitely have you work on my car 👍 Well done to you and keep it up

Good thing you bought water for the water pump.😅.

Less than 2 hours Fair play

Hey! just recently subbed, I had a Peugeot RCZ with the 2.0 HDI (DW10) my brother has a volvo v50 with the same DW10, his belt stripped half the teeth and actually snapped all the rockers, he was able to replaced all the rockers and time it up and it is running to this day, I think the engine is designed in such a way that the valves sit vertical to the pistons rather than at an angle , that way if the timing goes the pistons push the values straight up and break the rockers rather than bend the vales, that was like 2 years ago, engine has about 180k on the clock now, belt stripped at 135k ish, was on the original belt, cant remember if it was the water pump that caused the belt to strip teeth or not, but the dw10 are really good engines! Really enjoying your videos and the detail that you go into, cheers!

... If I understood it right - the question is if the timing belt skips over the valves may not be damaged? There are constructions we call it in Germany "free runner" ... at least in the past engines from Opel / Vauxhall and others with this advantage!@@themarvelousvlog

What type of antifreeze was that clear one?

Shame you’re not in west Yorkshire I would have you do my clutch on my Clio

Good man I'm a motorcycle mechanic try to avoid mobile as bikes can easily be recovered in the van

Some of these need replacement cam as the lobes are pressed on and they get knocked out of position your customer was so lucky maybe the belt went at low rpms or even when cranking

My brother had a Renault safrane 2.0l he fitted a new cam. Then about a month later it got hard to start and was losing power. It turned out the cam shaft pulley had come loose and worn the aluminium key out and made the timing slip enough to bend a valve on start up. When he stripped the engine it turned out it had had a new cylinder head fitted by Renault who must have forgotten to tighten the pulley properly.

This is one reason I only ever own chain driven engined vehicles. What do you expect running a heavy engine under massive torsion with a rubber band. Surely people know its a money making scheme?

Great job were are you guys based

Excellent video. Did that cambelt fail prematurely or did the owner simply not bother changing it at the recommended interval.

@themarvelousvlog

9 ай бұрын

He’s done 67k, recommended is 80/85k so yeah, prematurely failed. What I’ve also noticed, which I did not included in the video, unfortunately, is he used radweld to stop the pump from leaking; which obviously made everything worse 🫣

Do you know if the 2013 vauxhall movano lwb is a chain or a belt ?

I was doing gearbox changes on my 2006 toyota yaris and it easy to come out and easy to put back on, but could not get the blots in and i have to call my uncle to help me to put the blots in

Hi so after the timing went, did u just put pins in correct place & it all was okays? Did u not have to check piston height & all that through spark plug holes? As i was under impression thats what u have to do if cam belt snapped… correct me if im wrong. I guess the belt snapped & u guys just re aligned on the pins?

@themarvelousvlog

9 ай бұрын

If timing belt snapped, it means that the timing of the engine is now completely wrong. The whole point of the timing pins is to make sure that: 1. The bottom end of the engine is where it should be i.e. setting it so that the piston is at the right height, either at BDC or TDC (depending on manufacturer) 2. The camshafts is at the right position The timing pins will only only go in to one single hole, which will then indicate that the engine is now in correct position, ready for the timing belt to be installed
