Great video Tim. I think the fact you don't edit out your mistakes is part of the charm of this channel, mate. It reminds me of working on my own C1. Got blisters up my arm from adjusting the ******* belt tension last weekend. Engine must have been a bit hotter than I thought and the stupid thing kept squeeling.
Cheers mate. We learn from our mistakes, so if someone can learn from mine then all good. Tbh if I wasn’t filming I’d have probably noticed the shit on the head but still, if it saves someone else the hassle of doing it twice 🤷♀️
Its just like I was there with you , great video as usual ,,, today my wee 107 had a blow out at the exhaust ,,, so I stuck it on the ramp , and went to weld it up ,,, just to discover the welder needed a bottle of gas ,,, 80 quid , and a roll of wire , 23 quid , so I grabbed lubch when I was out 8quid , a new pair of gloves 16 quid , and a new pair of safety glasses ,, bought the kids at my friends farm , whos ramp I use an ice cream 10 quid , and topped the landrover up with diesel , 30 quid , I was using it to go far gas ,,, and wire etc ... still back box welded , that saved thirty quid , some days your the dog '................ and some days your the lamp post.
I know those days,.. I’m gonna book a day of work soon to struggle on the floor doing the clutch on the shit box. I could just pay my mate with a garage but nah… I’m gonna roll around on the floor, probably in the rain to save about £100. WINNING!
Very helpful video, if I ever have to do this on my Aygo I now know exactly what not to do. Great entertainment as always and I really enjoyed the humour, many thanks.
Yep, doing a job twice is something that really pisses me off. Luckily it rarely happens, but once I was working with a bloke who put a clutch plate in a Discovery backwards on a Friday afternoon…

again great stuff 👍 looked it up...29 kn on the waterpump bolts ( i really need to change the waterpomp and doing the drivebelt also waiting for the parts)
That new coolant is an interesting colour, if I saw that in a car I'd think it wanted changing. At 27:15 you can see it mixing in with the old stuff which is neon pink, whereas the new stuff is brown. I didn't pay attention to the orientation of the thermostat so that hole isn't at the top - learned something for next time, thanks.
Yea I think the stuff I used last time when I did a coolant flush was a bit more pink/red than this, which looked pink in the bottle but seemed a little bit brown when I started pouring it out.
Going to replace the water pump and thermostat on my wife's c1 next week thanks for this vid that shows whT to do step by step. The only question is what did you use to measure the temp, looked like your your phone or something similar on dash board showing temp.
Thanks. I was using the head up display which shows temp, but you could just use a small diagnostic with live data This is the head up display: ua-cam.com/video/jsIFpbFhuho/v-deo.htmlsi=9RCwnryzY3OkQjnj
Love your videos mate . Just bought an aygo . Was wondering if the fan coming on intermittently is normal ? When the car is stationary in traffic it does come on even on cold days
Great video just one question usually it's the top hose that connects to the thermostat, but looked as if it was the bottom hose on your citreon. Am I right, or have I got it all wrong.
Hiya - thanks for the tutorial. At 27:33 the connector to the right of the thermostat housing hole and next to your thumb, is that the coolant temp sensor with 2 wires going to it? My daughters C1 radiator fan is constantly on when the engine is on and I reckon changing that may fix it, if its knackered. Any thoughts appreciated - thanks.
I watch all your videos and I've no idea why because I'm hoping my 2020 aygo won't need any work done any time soon 🤣 However, as a single female, it's nice to know some 'man stuff' because I've been ripped off countless times by various garages in the past
SBSV your vids are great fun to watch, binging them all lately. Keep it up! Can anyone tell me what temperature is your aygo c1 107 running when fully warmed up? Mine never got warmer than 82 - 83, so naturally I thought thermostat is stuck open, changed it for a new one and no difference. Opening temp on the stat is 82. I understand that this is car designed to run around cities, start - stop traffic etc., but running at 82 too low. Thinking about sourcing thermostat with same dimension but different opening temperature, perhaps 87 - 88 degrees. Anyones input appreciated. Cheers
Thanks mate. Yes mine is the same since changing the stat. It used to be about 88°C and warmed up faster. I did put an aftermarket stat in though, and it’s not uncommon for them to open a little bit early in my experience
Have you ever had a problem with your speedometer not working? Probably not since theres no video up. Anyway mine doesn't work. I've checked the fuses and they are all good. The rest of the instrument panel works. Maybe you can share some of your knowledge.
Hey Tim, recently I’ve noticed my radiator hasn’t been coming on. I’m not getting any overheating issues and never had the warning in my dash but I’m suspecting thermostat issues now that I think about it. My radiator has started leaking somewhere after having a bump with someone braking for no reason, I think it’s somewhere around the coolant bottle tbh. Do you think I should be worried about thermostat being the issue or should I get a new radiator on and get on with my day. The radiator itself holds coolant but I can visibly see it leaking from somewhere when I’m under the car Thanks
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I’ll be replacing the whole radpac on Friday, have you ever heard of a faulty engine temp sensor? I’ve not heard my fan for months and I’ve not once had that light come on
@@jackdyet2902 my fan very rarely comes on too unless stuck in traffic, and in winter never tbh as e heater takes enough heat away for it not to be needed. Have you got a diagnostic scanner? Plug it in and you can read the temp on live data, it should be about 80-90° when up to temperature
What are these like for not blowing head gaskets? I had an mgf with k series and totally failed to change the head gasket as oil just poured out, it left me traumatized. Looked on Google but hardly anything mentioned, hopefully that's a good sign..👍😎
Я не могу вспомнить, при какой температуре загорается сигнальная лампа, но я думаю, что она превышает 95 градусов. Я думаю, что вентилятор включается около 90, если я правильно помню, количество времени, которое он работает, зависит от температуры воздуха и стиля вождения. Вентилятор обычно должен включаться только тогда, когда автомобиль стоит

Love your videos mate . Just bought an aygo . Was wondering if the fan coming on intermittently is normal ? When the car is stationary in traffic it does come on even on cold days
If it’s been running for a while and up to temp then yea that’s pretty normal. Check coolant level could be worth doing though

Thanks mate. Yes, I think it does go into the bottom hose on these iirc 🤔
Nice one again Tim, there's a bleed vent under the water pump , whether it's useful or not , dunno.
Cheers, there’s a block drain under there

It is yes. This could be at fault but make sure it’s not just low on coolant, as that often brings fans in

Probably not gonna have any issues with a 2020 Aygo but you never know, it come in useful one day 🤷♀️
can you please send me a link of the thermostat you used? i bought two and one is too big and the other one too small.
I didn’t get it from a website, I bought it from a local motor factors if I remember right 🤔
I hope this is whats causing the dreadful noise when i put my foot down. Its somthing in that area for sure!
Could be, maybe worth taking the belt off and have a feel of the pulleys. Timing chain is behind it, but not really a known issues on these.
