I'm a bit late to this video but huge thanks for posting this. I have a 2014 Ford Ka which is the same engine but I have a head gasket to replace. I'm in construction and not a meachanic but have a healthy interest in mechanics. I'm going slowly bit by bit but I'm determined to get it done and this has helped massively.....thanks, Gaz.
@@thorobredcars1975 If it's just the head gasket I want to change, is it the same process? Can the engine mount and top cam cover just come off or does the whole cambelt need access with the wheel off? Gaz.
@@thorobredcars1975 the 1.2 without VVT are non-interference and 1.2 with VVT are interference I'm led to believe. 69bhp are interference. How much do you charge for the job on a 2014 500 1.2? and what's your postcode, thanks?
I just did the work with fixing tool on camshaft but markers on the valveshaft pulley. Fixing both may be complicate for mounting the new cambelt when there is not a little gap for moving the pulley. So, all worked well without demounting the valve housing.
@@stukyu No real issue, If it was your own car & you knew it was running well etc. But,, you would only be presuming its set up right. If its a customers car & you are being paid to do it correctly the only way to be sure is to lock cam & crank. Often we do find it a tooth out, but no noticeable lack of power ? These engines are actually quite resilient.
It looks quite a task on a small engine.Agree with changing water pump auxillary belt and tensioner whilst changing belt.It would be daft not to whilst all stripped down.
Yes you’re right. we always recommend replacing as a kit and do so in Five year intervals. The good news is it engines are non-interference so can survive a failure but it’s always good practice to keep on top of it .
Hey I did the exact same job but now I'm getting these codes any ideas? P0009-62 - VVT (phase variator) - Signal Compare failure P0011-61 - Phase Variator position - Signal Calculation Failure
Unfortunately my guess is that it’s out of time . Set it up again . Private message if you are still troubleshooting maybe we can point you in the right direction.
@@thorobredcars1975 hey i found the problem after you change the valve cover gasket you have to change thee little 4 O rings on the inside of the valve cover mine were so dried out i changed them and the issue seems to have gone away
@@thorobredcars1975 Thanks very much. This job is kicking my arse. One last question. The tensioner came loose when started and the cam isn’t in time with crank anymore so having to time the cam. Does the locking tool only fit in when it’s at tdc or isn’t more complicated than that?
I have to replace this seal between the air filter housing and the throttle body, but this car is in my home country so I need the part number to buy it and take it with me. Do you have this part number? Thank you in advance.
I think “book time” is 2.5 hours . We generally say 3 hours is needed if you are taking time to clean surfaces & making other components better along the way .
But 50yrs ago you didn't habe to remove the motor fixing to change a timing belt. Additional nowadays you didn't have enough space to work on the engine. I just did the work on this engine - what the video here shows is the minor part of it. But it was done in around 2:30h.

Good luck with the rebuild,
Good news is it’s a “ non-interference” engine so is a good one to learn on .

good to see someone using the timing locking tools
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Do the job once, Do it right ! 😁

@@thorobredcars1975 Hi Mate is there an issue in just making marks on the cam and crank pulley for alignment ?

@@thorobredcars1975 Got ya thanks mate.
Excellent video, total professional and very knowledgeable. Thank you.
Thanks for the feed back ! Next Cam belt video will be on the 1.4 Multiair engine .
Hi what sealant did you use for the water pump, great video thank you?

How much would you be charging for this service?
How do you remove the electrical parts on the right of the airbox? You skipped over that part
You can leave the ECU Connect .
There is four 10m nuts holding the bracket on .
Remove the nuts & slide the mount/ bracket away from engine .

Done the right way keep it up lad
Thanks for watching the video Joe, We plan on making more in the next few weeks.
This engine is very much similar to the 1,4 Fire Evo used in Brazilian versions of Fiat 500.
Great video 😀👍
Thanks for the feed back ! We will make more.
Did you just use "normal" liquid packing on the water pump?
Black mastic

Hello Boban. Thanks for checking out the video. The part number you need is 46528828 .
How many years does a Fiat 500 cambelt last?
Up to 5 years, they say 60k to 75k miles

I took 4 hrs..... 6mins is a record

@@riomaririoma2167 I know - our other car is a Volvo..
Because it works and works well unlike modern engines
Lol you realise most engines in modern cars are like 40/50 years old? It hasnt been changed since then
