So very good video. Now I feel calm replacing the belts after seing this and that about the 16v. My old 159 will come back to the roads after 8 years in garage.
Hello! Wonderful video! Thank you very much! You're a great teacher. One year ago I didn't even have a driver's license and knew nothing about cars, but thanks to people like you, I found a new hobby. Just one question. On the 12 minute mark, you said that you already showed how to remove the pulley above the water pump. I've tried looking for that video where you do, but I've not found it. Can you please tell me where you show that procedure? Muito Obrigado!
Thanks so much for sharing all of your knowledge. One question for the camshaft seal that you are removing with a srewdriver. Why not using a small screw that you screw inside the seal and then pull it out with it. Thank you.
Hello. Yes you can and do that. And it will appear here on the channel too. But that method doesn't always works and it can damage the shaft or housing. So, I only do that in last resort
@@alfaromeonoproblem ... Thanks I will. I removed 4 injector and used DTI for TDC and set cam timing and now it starts first kick. I have a blocked catalytic converter and leaking turbo to fix. What I would like to know is , does the 120HP engine have swirl flaps in the inlet manifold ? The engine is choking .
@@alfaromeonoproblem What I’m having actually is a problem with the diesel engine mount, I’ve changed it several times but unfortunately after a few drives and it’s even worse then the original one which was 18 years old 😅
Hi, how do you safely remove the camshaft pulley without shearing the cam pin? As I understand, if you hold the pulley with the tool while unscrewing, the force is transmitted thru the cam pin, which is potentially dangerous. Is there any other way to block the camshaft from rotating? Thank you
good morning bruno. Do you have an email to which I can send you some photos and information on why you should not use that tensioner on JTD 8V? As I told you, I have had problems with water leaks through the pump shaft, the problem was that tensioner. thank you!
Hi,Alfa!I have a question,is there anything specific and special when changing valve cover gasket?I heard from other brands like WV and Opel and etc. that there is a special way of doing it so you don't damage the seal and making it leak.And only thing that comes to my mind is torquing the bolts and torquing them in cross pattern like a head.Otherwise,great tutorials,very informative and helpful!
I would never put paste in the sprocket, it's not the key what holds it in place (It's just for alignment), but the tightening torque making sprocket and cam surfaces to stick together. Adding paste reduces grip, I woudl not be not confortable with that.

Hello, I just bought a Fiat Stilo Multiwagon 1.9 Multijet 8v 120. I'm going to change the distribution and I'm wondering whether to remove the manifold and clean it. The car has a hard time starting when cold but I have the feeling that it is a problem with the diesel returning to the tank since if I turn on the ignition three or four times it starts fine. what do you think? Do I remove the collector? Does it get very dirty in 8v? thank you!
@@alfaromeonoproblem i think The problem is when i stop tbe engine diesel return to The tank. If i put The contact two times for electric pump of The tank generate pressure, The engine start very fast at first atemp. If i only put The contact and them try to start, The engine turno about five seconds before start. Have the fuel pump unit of The tank any non return-valve or similar sistem?
@andresfernandez-dz2se yes, the injectors leak out.. there is no need for a check valve. The system having the fuel tank pump will blow out all of the air
I'm sorry, can I ask you a question? then it is normal after having inserted the pulley back into its joint that it moves a little if you turn it with your hand but without inserting the pin yet, because I noticed this and I had a doubt, then after tightening the pin it doesn't do more
@alfaromeonoproblem so the crankshaft pulley has this play or not because once inserted it also has a bit of movement on the right and left, I don't know if it's normal or it must be still, can you tell me something thanks for the precious answers my friend

Someone has a problem where the locking pin keeps breaking on the crnkshaft pully on the 2.4 JTDm in 159. They said it broke 3 times in 4 months. And sine a month and a half ago, the wngine runs badly and is hard to start, because timing went off by a coupple of degrees. And the engine is remapped, with the same map that is on like half of thise engines in Montenegro, and hw said they all run fine. I wonder what could cause this?
Hands down the best timing tutorial I've ever seen on any car on UA-cam
Wow! Thanks for watching! Feel free to share with your friends. I have a playlist for timing chains and belts on the description below

Hi very impressive videos. Please can you do video on oil pump replacement 1.9 Thank you
Hello. I do have two videos that have the disassembly of them. On the twin Spark and on the 8v JTD. But no, I do not have yet a replacement, sorry.

Hello, thanks for watching. The back of the bracket as an adjustment, on the hole were said bolt goes
nice video just ceep going
Until 2025 I have videos every week.
After that too, but if the channel doesn't grow until there... I really will think about ending it.

Hello. No 8v that I know of have swirl flaps. The use of that is to cover one of the two intakes on 16v ones.
@@alfaromeonoproblem Thanks mate I appreciate your help
Verry useful and educational video!! 👍🏼💯
If it is possible, I would like to ask about very common problem on most diesel alfa’s out there. 🙂

@@alfaromeonoproblem What I’m having actually is a problem with the diesel engine mount, I’ve changed it several times but unfortunately after a few drives and it’s even worse then the original one which was 18 years old 😅
For engine mounts use only original ones or impergom
I was thinking to use continental belts, and ina pulleys and metelli water pump. And what is the torq spec for the cam puley. sry i dont have autodata
Hello. It's good brands, if they are not from autodoc. 110nm on the cam pulley bolt
@@alfaromeonoproblem ty 25nm for pullyes and tensioner?
@VLOGISGARAGE for the tensioner yes. For the pulley the 8mm version yes, the 10mm bolt a bit more. Like 40
@@alfaromeonoproblem thank you
Good since the high pressure fuel pump is non adjustable bcoz the fuel injector controlled by ecm as regular gasoline fuel injection
Is it OK to reuse camshaft and crankshaft bolts after changing oil seals? I know some cars have stretch bolts.
On these engines you can reuse until some visible damage. But will last at least 20 years
Great, thanks so much. This channel is amazing for us DIYers. Much respect
Hii! Thank you for the great video! Are these tips relative to 2,4jtdm 16v too?
For the 2.4 20v I have another video. It's down on the description on the timing belts and chains playlist
Hi, what happens with a screw on camshaft when you put locktite on?
Hello. Loose the ability to shear the cam key in case of an issue.
Hi, how do you safely remove the camshaft pulley without shearing the cam pin? As I understand, if you hold the pulley with the tool while unscrewing, the force is transmitted thru the cam pin, which is potentially dangerous. Is there any other way to block the camshaft from rotating? Thank you
Hello. Securing the cam with the tool is the only way not to shear the pin.
What do you think about removing the valve cover and holding the camshaft with a wrench? The camshaft has a slot for a wrench.
@DavidJackson-c8f not worth it and more probable to break the pin
Oh, okay, thank you
Do you also block the crankshaft with the timing tool when removing the timing pulley?
Hey Bruno, is there a way to time the injection pump that has no key?
Hello. No timing needed at all, even the ones that have key
good morning bruno. Do you have an email to which I can send you some photos and information on why you should not use that tensioner on JTD 8V?
As I told you, I have had problems with water leaks through the pump shaft, the problem was that tensioner.
thank you!
Hello. Down on the description please
What brand timing belt do you recommend if there is two option. Dayco vs Continental? :)
Hello. Dayco all day long. It is the original supplier. Also continental not always have good tensioners.
Are crankshaft and camshaft bolts normal right hand or left land thread?
Hello. Only the crankshaft one is left hand threaded.
Thank you

Hello. Nothing to special about them. Apart from the drops of rtv and making sure the seal fits well.
And like.you said, beware of the torquing.
I would never put paste in the sprocket, it's not the key what holds it in place (It's just for alignment), but the tightening torque making sprocket and cam surfaces to stick together. Adding paste reduces grip, I woudl not be not confortable with that.
Hello. The correct type of lube will work. It's been working for the last 20 years for me and my mechanics

Something hard to turn. Camshaft, hi pressure fuel pump,
Also wrong torque on bolts
Algo a wrong crankshaft pulley and a failed alternator pulley
