    Someone didn't want to spend £ for oil changes...Oil is cheap, engines and labour are not

    Baz, you didn't answer the question why the oil light went out when the pressure switch wasn't even connected.

    Cracking video, loving the content.
    Be interested to see what the customer did with it in the end.
    Think I'd be with you, rebuilding the existing one.

    The condition of this engine isn't your fault, so be very clear to the customer. Ask him was caused this, maybe no oilchanges or using cheap oil or the wrong viscosity? Tell the customer the possible solutions to correct the current situation (a rebuild for a lot of money, or another engine cheap but a lot of labour and a big risk) and let him decide and just go do something AFTER the customer confirms! Tell him that a used engine you know nothing about is a big risk and that that risk is the customer's!

    I did buy my opel/Vauxhall astra g 2.2 ecotech engin with a stretched timing chain and the topp chain guide was broken just like in this video. No enginge light or fault code. This was 12 years ago. The car had only run 89000km. Replaced the chain and guides.

    You should check the oil filter, it may be blocked and restricting oil flow. The pressure switch could be taking it's reading before the filter but have no pressure after the filter. Change the oil and filter, run it to see if the tappets quieten down. If it does just change the timing chain.

      I have an Astra 1.6cdti and I have a Dacia 1.5dci. And what I can't understand for the life in me is how the Dacia, which is 35% cheaper car than the Astra, has a diesel engine that works much quieter and smoother than the one in the Astra?? How is that possible? Does engine power have anything to do with engine noise? Because the Astra has 110hp, and the Dacia has only 75. Could this be the reason why Dacia is at least 20% quieter?

    That is why I don’t trust longlife oil. On my car oil change supposed to be done every 19500 miles. I do oil change every 9000 miles and putting ceratec every second oil service

    I think the lifters or chain are done

    Pretty sure the turbo is done too, just realised it got a turbo on it

    Tough choice for the customer, but it has to be another engine, the labor, sundries, and attention to detail to rebuild that just adds to the time bumping up the cost. Engine swap a good unit in, then they are back on the road quickly. If they look after it, they will never look back and put this down to a good learning experience!

    The problem of the lifters is that all the oil is lost in the Tensioner on the Timing Chain ,and probably blocked the sump filter ,Another Engine 100% it's been Driven to Death 😢

  • @gregoryweedon7389

    I checked the MOT history on this car and it's quite obvious they were driving it to the ground even driving it with no oil in the car possible. on the MOT picked up crankshaft oil seal leaking bad twice they mentioned it. Best the car is scrapped right lemon and the mot runs out soon.

      @@joskd8491 In todays world everything is overpriced, and almost everything is Chinese junk. What can we do about it? I can sell my Astra K for lets say 10K euros. But what can I buy for that price that is half decent? Some 1.0 3 cylinder piece of shit? I rather stick with my Astra then.
