When I first opened a repair shop in 1990 I specialized in Volvo repair. Our first flyer offered a timing belt special on the B230 4 cylinder engines for $49.95 parts and labor! Back then a basic timing belt replacement on that engine took about 30 minutes. A big change from the $1000 and up 1/2 day jobs for timing belt repairs on newer VVT engines at the end of my career in 2023.
Great to watch someone who is every bit as good as me I’m retired now but had my own garage for 28 years and loved every swear word and stripped knuckles in all that time sometimes very frustrating lol but loved it
Home "mechanic" here, I've never done a timing belt before, always feared them, until I got my most recent car, 2009 Zafira 1.6, the belt on that is incredibly easy to change and of course, from your recommendations, it's fitted with an INA kit ;)
Great video, as always. The newer K9K euro 6b or c engine has a water-cooled intercooler in the j11 Qashqai and the bracket for it is in the way where the crack pin goes in so you need to have a longer pin or one with a 1/4inch hole to fit a extension 👌 great Renault design there 😀
Correct. Fairly sure the laser timing tool doesn't have the 1/4 inch hole. I ended up buying the genuine timing tool to do this on a MK5 Clio dci as it has the water/air intercooler.
Great Video. Have you a video of changing an oil pickup seal on a Vauxhall 20 cdti 163hp AWD. I have change one on a FWD 20CDTI laying flat on my back 90% of the time, not an easy task. In fact at one point I was laying under the motor when a gust of wind blew the up and over door shut trapping my ankles ooooooooo 81 now so watch your videos and think, I can still manage a timing belt. Thanks
I tell anyone who asks "What should I buy?" to get themselves a 1.5dci Fluence. They look at me like I am nuts - but, they're a simple car to repair, they're tough, they do big mileages, repairs aren't fortunes - loads run about here as taxis - taxi lads know what's what.
Once upon a time,in about 2002 i done done 10 belts in a day....😂😂😂...i know it sounds absurd...but i had a client that sold ex Bt vans...6 transits and 4 ecorts i think it was..normaly i would go every 2 week and do 4 transits or something...good days for me😊
It's not always the engine that makes it difficult it's the car they put it in ! The engine looks pretty well the same as in the Mk 2 Megane 1.5 Dci. Doing the belt and water pump on that car was a pain in the *rse !
@@NotALot-xm6gz Wouldn't call it bomb proof but with regular servicing it may not be far off. A lot are lost to cam belt failures because in some vehicles it is an awkward job and so expensive so people leave it then blame the engine when the 10 year old (or older) cam belt fails, takes out the engine and effectively writes off the vehicle. Renault not putting a Woodruff key on the crank until June 2006 was a stupid (deliberate ? ) oversight which didn't help.
Baz your a brave man doing a timing belt on a sunday IO never do major jobs on a sunday as if you hit problems factors are closed when the kids were younger and my wife needed the car for work yes all night but older now and cant beat good old dry beltnot like these wet belts where is the AA and RAC on these issues
How can i as a home mechaninc get hold of those instructions as you got on the tablet?? Can i download a PDF or program that will show me those steps and torque specs for parts? Haynes only covers car models to a certain year sadly.
The Renault 1.2 16v is another easy timing belt. The 2.5 dci is easy also. You don't even have to remove the crank pulley as the bottom timing pulley is its own pulley.
My kit from INA, the belt marks match camshadt & fuel pump but not the crank? When I put the OEM belt on the crank mark on the OEM doesnt either? Same Juke 2014 1.5dci). Strange
I did the canbelt change on that dci engine in a Quasqui and it was NOT easy. No space to remove the engine mounting alu parts. Up a little, down a little .........aahg
At what point do you torque the 3 x 8mm's on the camshaft pulley? Is it once you have torqued the tensioner to 27nM? I cant see a point in the video where the 3 x 8mms are torqued (after backing them off earlier in the video?)
I have done quite a few of those belts and they are fairly easy. However, recently I had to remove the cylinder head on one in a Qashqai and the limited access to the rear of the engine turned it into a nightmare. I think it would have been easier and quicker to have removed the engine.
@baz In regards removing the crankshaft bolt, can this be done without an expensive impact? (Home mechanic). I have an impact but I know it's not powerful enough!. Would a breaker bar achieve it?
@@bazmeredith Thanks for the quick reply. Apparently I can hire an M18 Fuel, would the 1/2 do or 3/4 better? Literally bought the car today (2014 Juke 48k) so well overdue on age! Original Renault belt, also bought the INA kit based on your reccomendation and also the INA drive belt. Your video is the most helpful of all the videos on YT, new subscriber here!
@MarkRuiz521 if your not used to high powered impact guns you could cause problems... Undoing the bolt won't be the problem but you will need to torque it up correctly without a gun
@bazmeredith Would I need a flywheel holding tool to get it back in at 120nm (+90) Baz, or will 4th gear, handbrake and foot brake suffice? Thanks again
I've forgotten to fit that timing cover back plate twice now 🤦♂️and the first time the car came back after a few weeks as the tenchaner or bolt failed pulled all the threads out of the engine smashed the valves etc and I will never know if it was my fault for torquing a one uss bolt twice or a faulty part. When I realised I did it again 🤢 but it was ok
How reliable are the pumps? I have a bmw which has a water pump on a smooth belt, its easy to replace ig it goes bad unlike this one so i never replaced it. Well now car is 28 years old and has 370k km and still has original water pump
Baz this is slightly unrelated but I have a 2011 MK3 Focus 1.6 TDCI and the MAF sensor is knackered. I’m just wondering if this can cause the car to lose slight power. I can change it myself. Just have to get it to change it. And does it have to be relearned/reprogrammed?
The easiest timing belt ever is on a 1.2 nova or 1.3 astra. MK1 and MK2. Don't even have to move the usually seized water pump. Whack it on like a bike chain. Don't even get me started on the MK1 nova and astra clutches. Record for me was around 20 minutes. 😂😂😂😂😂 Oh how I love older cars.
I did one a while back on an old kangoo...that old boner had a floating crank and a manually tensioned alternator that is a pain to tighten up.......hoping my K9K has a key on crank, but hey ho, see how we go :-0
Never used tools for cambelt. Mark the timing on the spokes with a white pen, and mark the old belt and compare to new and marked, these tools can cost more than £50, and in my opinion a waste of money.
That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard what do you do when they are floating pulleys like this, it's £50... I bought these full timing tools for French engine for about £80 over ten years ago... Sounds like you have a go at weekends
@@bazmeredith My dad's Kia Picanto 1.1 2010, doesn't have timing tools and no hole for the bolt to hold the pulley or clutch plate. That is where my experience is that don't really need timing tools.

The engine looks pretty well the same as in the Mk 2 Megane 1.5 Dci. Doing the belt and water pump on that car was a pain in the *rse !
It is the same Renault K9K engine that’s been fitted to millions of Renaults, Nissans, Dacias and the Merc A class. Bomb proof and economical.

Nowadays, it doesn't matter. The parts are never in stock anyway!
Nice to see the vacuum bleeder out 😜

Serious question, the engines with the larger fuel pump sprocket how do you get the plastic cover off that sits behind the fuel pump?

Would you recomend to use BGA timming bet kit?

Easiest timing belt I have ever done was 2.0 pinto engine ,no locking bolts needed
Is it a renault engine in that. I think Nissan and renault had some kind of relationship

Hello sir...Is it a must to change the water pump when doing the timing belt
No, but if the water pump goes you got to do all the above all over again, no brainer.
How reliable are the pumps?
I have a bmw which has a water pump on a smooth belt, its easy to replace ig it goes bad unlike this one so i never replaced it. Well now car is 28 years old and has 370k km and still has original water pump
