Helped me replace my own timing belt and water pump although not very detailed. The hardest part for me was removing the crankshaft pulley bolt - I finally managed to do it with a socket and extension fixed against the suspension and cranked the car (with spark plug cables removed!) and the bolt unscrewed. I managed to remove and install the back timing cover without unbolting the power steering pump bracket.
Heads up to anyone that sees this needing to find timing, left cam has 2 dimples in the cam about 80-90⁰ to the right of the yellow mark, line them up to the 2 notches above the cam.
Not entirely sure how long this post will be available but here is a link that'll show it facebook.com/groups/234197520082381/permalink/2143959369106177/
dumb question but if the covers are cracked or missing bolts will that cause a significant oil leak? Sister has this car and some shade tree mechanic changed her timing belts and now there is a slight leak by the AC compressor. I can't tell if it's coming from around the timing belt covers or maybe it's time for the oil pan gasket to be changed
How the hell do you remove the left timingbelt cover without braking it.. and the idler pulley and bracket withou swearing.! Puting it back was even worse. Had to remove the alternator and AC compressor to get any access.
Great video. Btw, what's the direction of rotation of the engine? I've got a rattle/rumble that happens at low rpms and goes away above 1000. I'm pretty sure it's the timing belt tensioner so I figured I'd do the timing belt, water pump and tensioner all in one go.
@@boatdude12 It was a bad tensioner and idler pully bearing. Also the bracket that holds the idler bearing is warped on a lot of these 626 cars, so even if you replace the bearing it will fail again the same way. My harmonic balancer failed also in the same period.
Old comment, but you loosen the nut (17mm) on the idler pulley associated with the tensioner then use a 10mm socket to back off the idler pulley from the belt to loosen it enough to remove the belt. To get to the power steering belt, you have to remove the AC/alternator belt
Make sure #1 piston is at top.NOT at BDC. remove plug and check with a hose.if wrong turn crank bolt one more revolution \look at 2:48 o0n video you will see two marks in housing and gear 1 tooth apart.they knew you would not see same mark as right gear
totally different things! serpentine belts, there are 2, are easy as pie to do and take abt 15 mins to replace.. timing belt is a tough job and 6 to 10 hrs depending on ur experience
i was thinking the same cause mine looks different from the front. since mine got hit a while back and a body shop re did the front i was thinking they put another front to it

Awesome video. This is almost an identical process for the V6 on the 626, MX6, and Probe.
Thenk you
Excellent video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice work. thanks

Well, it's not much, but it's good enough to show me what I'll be doing tomorrow... Don't you just love DOHC V6 FWD cars???
Thank you very much. Very good video. 😊😊😊😊
Tnks for thr video,, but how you put the tensioner ?
2000 Mazda Millenia timing chain belt come off and the twin cams moved will that hurt valves
What is that component call before the belt tensioner

i have a 02 mazda millinia does it have a timing chain also or just the timing belt ?

What did it end up being? I have the same from 800-1800RPM.

Will this also work for 2002 milenia
Is that the cam position sensor on the lower right of the crank pulley? Looks like it. I need to replace in my 2.5 626.
that is the Crank position sensor bro...its triggered by the little points on the back of the harmonic balancer pulley
Is there any way you could make a video on how to change the serpentine belt
If you pay attention he does it in this

how bout timing marks?
Did you put a serpentine belt in or a timing belt or are they the same

nice,
thank's ;)
My mechanic needs help timing my timing belt. He just put a new one on. How will he know where to line it up?
LaTryce Washington if he's a "mechanic" he should have no trouble finding out.
@@johnnymorganjr1004 agreed! WTF!
the car is not 2000 Millenia it must be 2001 or 2002 the head light tell me that .
i was thinking the same cause mine looks different from the front. since mine got hit a while back and a body shop re did the front i was thinking they put another front to it
4:13
how often timing belt needs to be changed... if it breaks does it damage valves??...thx
emir saracevic 60k to 80k and it uses a belt instead of a chain
my factory belt was on for 100,000 mi and still looked fine when i replaced it
@Hagbard Celine correct!
I have a mazmillenia
