Love this channel! Has anyone else noticed that this technician looks a lot like Vladimir Putin?
Haha, now that you mention it, I totally see the resemblance! It's always fun to spot look-alikes. Love this channel too!
A fantastic explanation .I can imagine a lot of small garages unwilling to take on this awful job so i take my hat off to you.
Thank you very much for your kind words! Car repairs and maintenance can indeed be challenging, and not every garage may be willing to tackle difficult tasks. It's important to find a reliable and skilled mechanic who is up for the job. when encounter complex issues with vehicle. If you have any more questions or need assistance with anything else, feel free to ask!
Thank You 🚗🔧👍
I didn’t notice the way you tightened the crank pulley up without the official torque multiplier and flywheel locked?
yes, he didn't, he's worked 20 years in Ford. he knows very well what he doing, if you need torque please google or contact the dealer.
also, you can lock the flywheel and do the job, or can do it our way
thank you
@@sanumotorswithcharlie I also worked for ford for over 20yrs and therefore know the correct way. I am assuming he’s just gunned it up to what he thinks is tight enough against the pin on the crank
👍🛠
thank you
Ford eco boom

Do you have any idea how much miles/km was on this vehicle when the wet timing belt was replaced by yourself? And how bad was the belt condition?........Thank you.
I'm not sure about the mileage, this belt is not bad at all, i think a previous customer did it, before, the new customer doesn't have any records
Typical Ford, make things as difficult as possible! Takes me back to my days as a mechanic in the early 70s, doing Pinto engine camshaft replacements (if they lasted a couple of years you were doing well). Ford's wonderful designers made them so you couldn't remove the overhead camshaft without taking the head off. SnapOn even made special banana shaped ring spanners so you could get at the bottom manifold nuts. They were heaps of crap then and are even worse now.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds like you've had quite the journey as a mechanic, especially with the challenges posed by certain Ford models. Your anecdote about the Pinto engine camshaft replacements is certainly illuminating. It's unfortunate when design choices create unnecessary difficulties for those working on the vehicles.
While the automotive industry has undoubtedly evolved since the 70s, it seems some issues persist. Feedback like yours is valuable for highlighting areas where improvement is needed. Hopefully, manufacturers will continue to refine their designs to make maintenance and repairs more accessible for mechanics and owners alike.
Thank you again for sharing your insights.

Typical ford engineering, could not come with a easy better solution. Big job that is, in this case would have been good to install a genuine ford kit.
yes that is right, don't forget it all depends on the price
Dpf the cars petrol not diesel 😂
yes you right, done two DPF jobs before this car, but still, my mind is there, sorry
