I have owned my own Automotive Radiator repair shop since 1977 and in that time expanded the business to, not only repair or recore radiators but to offer a complete service on cooling and A/C systems which include fitting radiators, water pumps, condensers and oil coolers etc. and I must say that this video is one of the most informative and clearly explained instructions I have seen, keep up the great work 👍
I was quoted £475 by a cheap garage. I managed to change mine and the water pump using this video as a guide in 4 hours. Hardest bit was putting the new aux belt on. I must stress the importance of making sure the timing belt is tight between the crank and cam gears. Contitech Timing kit and pump cost. Also did new Fuel filter, oil filter, air filter cabin filter and oil change and some new roll bar links all for £ 171. So timing belt and full service for less than half what the garage would charge! Thanks for the great video
Back again just done my other car with the same engine. Tip for getting the belt on. Loosen the tensioner bolt so it comes out about 6mm. This gives the tensioner some additional play. Put the belt around everything else keeping it tight and slip it on the loosened tensioner, it goes on super easy. Again, this is such a good video
Good detailed video and should help loads of people. Did the cambelt on my 1.4HDi a few weeks ago, very similar to this. Job itself wasn't difficult but it just takes time taking many things off and being certain on getting the timing perfect. (Original 17 year old belt and water pump too so I think it was definitely due)
Definitely due!! 7yrs overdue! Well done! Yeah, cambelts are difficult really, just time consuming to get to them and to ensure they are timed correctly.
Great job well done and thank you very much for the detailed explanation 👍. Not only we will save money but also the time we would have to wait for a mechanic and be without a car during that time...
Fantastic video - the best tutorial I have ever seen. I have all the tool for the job - but am very curious to what make/model your battery powered stuff is interested in venturing into this world and better than my air tools for access not having a hose attached!
@@PiggyPower omg did not even see that is was a diesel engine. But yes thats what I was asking. But the chances are slim I think? Do you have a link of tutorial on petrol engine of the procedure isnt the same. Many thanks for your reply!!🙏🏼
@@DominiqueHodzelmans big hints are that it's an HDi ... And the fact it has a fuel pump on the timing belt 😜 Principles are the same... Lock the engine at its timing position. Remove belt, tensioners and water pump. Refit parts. Refit belt anticlockwise and tensioner correctly. Rotate twice with timing pins removed. Check timing is spot on. Check tension. Put it all back together. If you're not sure, basic DIY mechanic, I'd get a pro to help.
Hahaha yeah for sure. But I did not noticed I stopt @ Peugeot 1.6 😂🤣 oh no I can manage but to do this job, but not did it before myself and I love to have a look at everthing instead of searching for all it myself. Many thanks for your replies!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very clear with lots of info that saves time . Just one thing You said it helps to pull the pin out of the tensioner when getting the belt on , But I thought pin held tension off .Regards
Thanks again Piggy! Another fantastic walkthrough that helped me through my first timing belt change successfully.... The car wouldn't start after the change and I couldn't figure out why. I double and triple checked the timing and it was perfect. Took a while to figure it out, but I damaged the magnetic (I think?) strip going round the crankshaft gear, upsetting the sensor. The belt change was perfect, but I need to replace the gear. Not the most expensive of parts to be fair and with a new pump, idlers and tensioner, it's probably not a bad idea anyway... In your experience, do they come out easy enough? I can see a removal tool/puller on Euro for a tenner Thanks again! You're completely redefining "pig of a job" Scott
Do you think is a matter how is the hole to line up in the high pressure fuel pump because I find my Peugeot's fuel pump wheel in a different position marked with yellow dot?
Is the yellow dot original? Or someone has been in there before and messed around and not set it up right??... I'm guessing someone hasn't done it right before!
@@PiggyPower Yeah, I have just got this car and I have the feeling that yellow dot not original.....Basically my concern is, the car worked this way, however I do not know if I would set the pump's wheel according to factory recommendations would not be any issue after....
Valves easily damaged...maybe valve guides or damage to valve seats and pistons and even injector tips. You MIGHT get away with just valve rockers/arms as these are a designed failure point... But it's never worth the risk.
@Piggy Power Great video! Did you ever came across water pump slipping issue with 1.6 HDI 2018my? Should the coolant pressure increase with the engine revs? I have disconnected the return pipe of the coolant expansion tank and I can see the flow on idle but it stops with revs up. Do you think this would be the water pump?
@@PiggyPower No other way than taking the water pump off for inspection, your video will be very useful! Worth doing cambelt at the same time. Thanks and all the best!
I'm an engineer and I've got to say to say your work is very good. You can advise me - I'm doing my clutch next week and I'm pretty sure the cat has a DMF. Can I just covert to solid flywheel? There are lots of kits with single mass flywheels but I'm not sure if they are interchangible. The car is a Berligo 2014 with a 75 DV6TED4. Thanks
Great video! Do you ever replace the timing chain on the 16V Hdi engines? 150k miles seems to be the interval stated by the chain vendors. There are only a couple of videos on UA-cam of the timing chain replacement, and never as a routine item. Looks like a lot of work and at least £100 for the gasket kit, chain, injector bolts etc. Do you think you would do it once past 150k miles on a otherwise clean, well serviced engine? Thanks!
Thanks for the reply, is there a way to check the chain tension without incurring the cost of cam cover gaskets, studs(injectors) etc. I'm really wondering if people bother at the 150k mile interval, or just play it by ear, listen for a rattly chain or wait for the final caboom! Perhaps I should buy a stethoscope and have a listen periodically!?
@PiggyPower Nope, I just had the little cam shaft cover off that holds the filler cap (to fix a leaking injector) and I couldn't see the chain then either. I think the intake manifold(needing new o ring gaskets) and cam cover (needing new injector studs, maybe injector fasteners too?) . Two genuine studs and fasteners were £12.50, so £50 for the full set , say £10 for injector seals and about £90 for the chain kit and manifold, vacuum pump gasket and cam shaft oil seal. Quite a bit of work too and I don't see anyone else bothering unless there is a problem identified! My Haynes manual also doesn't give a chain change interval, the 150k mile interval i mentioned is cited by the chain kit manufacturers. Thinking about it I might leave if for now and reconsider if I get another injector leaking later on.
At 163k miles I'm due a timing belt, so it will be a pain to have to do the belt again later on if I decide to replace the chain later on if an injector starts leaking! P.S. my exhaust cam looked good as new from what I could see of it even after 163k miles!
Hi, I am finally up to the stage where I need to replace the antifreeze. I notice that you mix the antifreeze with distilled water, 3 litres of antifreeze and the rest distilled water. I have bought a 5L plastic container of ARECA (-25 c) universal antifreeze, and I don't know whether to add distilled water or not. What is your opinion please ?. I have found the ARECA antifreeze specification online but it just states the chemical characteristics.
It will say on the container if it's concentrate or ready to use. If it says ready to use, it will already be mixed with water. (Find the same with screenwash)
Hi, thank you for the video. I would appreciate your advice please. I bought a Dayco kit online. Strangely the belt tensioner plastic bag was open. The others in the box were sealed. Is it possible to damage the tensioner before it is installed by removing the pin ? When I came to line up the hole with the new belt on, I had to turn the allen key clockwise to line it up. However the arrow stated to turn it anticlockwise. I am concerned this could really cause a problem with an incorrect tension. What do you think , please
Buying things online can result in problems. I contacted the online supplier company and the girl on the hotline told me to send all the parts back and it would take about a month for an expert to look at it. If confirmed faulty I would receive a refund. I explained that the water pump and roller had already been installed and all I wanted was the faulty tensioner to be replaced. Totally intransigent . Send it all back was the reply !
Hey Piggy , there is something we dont understand ! normally the piston must be at tdc if you place the belt but ..but if you place te timing tool in the crankshaft pulley and check with a screwdriver in the injector hole you nodice that the piston is not fully at tdc ! the piston is a little but lower ! if you want to set the timing on the crankshaftpulley and you turn the engine clockwise the hole in the pulley wil only be in time if you turn the engine so that the piston is further than tdc! ! how is this possible ? or is this normal ?
Belts aren't always done at exactly 0°tdc ... Put the pins in as I've shown on the video, and it will be in time. In time is just that the fuel pump, cam and crank are in time with one another. Usually yes it's at 0°tdc but some vehicles do it at btdc, some 90°> ... Trust the timing pins. They should all fit easily and smoothly at the same time.
@@PiggyPower but sparky ,important question,even if the timing is in this case not on TDC, the injection still happens like normal ? Little bit before TDC?
@@benkr5870 injection timing is variable with every stroke. Some of these engines inject multiple times for each stroke. Just time it up with the pins and don't worry 😜
@@frankythehousecat2681 if you don't know when it was changed... Or it's close to 10yrs or 100k miles... Just do it to be safe. I've not heard of any issues with premature failure on these.
I am looking at a Peugeot 2008 1.6 diesel (2015 reg). It's the Mistral Feline model. Can anyone tell me if it will have the same engine as this video please? It's got over 50k miles on it and wondering if this is a job I should be getting done if I buy?
Hi I have a 308 1.5 bluehdi. How would I know if the crank is tdc and not 180 out as the crank takes 2 turns and cam 1 turn. I'm not sure if my crank is in the right position even tho it locks with the pin same as the cam. I think I messed up somehow. I turned the engine over 6 times by hands and there was no Interference so I finished the job and the car did run about rough but I did have the injectors out at the same time as I did the chain also. I have since moved the crank another turn 180 and again turned the engine by hand and was fine. Car runs but I just done know if it's running as it should. I do need to go into the belt assembly to fit a new cam seal and crank aux pulley so I'm trying to look for advice so when I do go I to it again I can make sure everything is as it should. Any help I would be most appreciated
@@PiggyPower the cam is timed both cams inside are linked using the arrows provided so both cams facing correctly I've always pinned the cam pulley and injection pully. I'm just worried if the crank/flywheel is 180 out even tho it is timed and pinned with the cam. As if the crank has had a extra turn that would mean it's not firing as it should or work it make any different as the cam and crank sensor are in sync so they determine what the injectors do. I'm very confused and over thinking I think 🤣 obviously nothing was obstructing with I turned the car over by hand 6 times and the car runs although today I found 2 injectors fueling low so I managed to fix 1 of them just the other to do which won't help. I thought if the crank/flywheel is 180 out I would notice some kind of running issues that I could determine it's wrong and needs changing 180 again when I'm next down there.
@@PiggyPower o and no fault codes at all with my autel. Am I wrong thinking about the crank being 180? Maybe 180 still puts the crank in the same position everyone ?
It will cause running issues... It might be subtle but it will. As these injection systems get more finely tuned they need the pumps in time now too... And if you're going to the effort of doing the timing belt, may as well do it spot on 😉👍🐷
Hi piggy, thanks for all your videos. I am doing this and found that I don't have tensioner.(1.6hdi110 206cc 2007)... On Xmas day as well so no one to call 😭
Sorry I should have explained myself better. I was refering to the auxiliary belt (pre timing belt access) tensioner., I have since found that some 110bhp engines don't have them . My timing belt kit has all necessary parts. Thank you for responding on Christmas day, hope your having a good one.
@@PiggyPowerno, the engine does not have an aux belt tensioner, it's just a pully, it is a stretch to fit system I've ordered a removing/installing kit
Having good fun watching your vids. We have had our 206cc 1.6hdi 110 for 16 years (it replaced a same spec gti-hdi) I've been watching your 10 reason to and not to own with a few ooh and arr moments. Thanks for all the vids, always make me grin
Hi I'm hoping you can help me, I was checking the timing on my 2007 Dispatch 1.6hdi as it was knocking on top end, very similar to a injector knock, replaced the injectors to still have the issue, upon checking the timing, i cant seam to get the fuel pump to line up, the crank and cam line up but the fuel pump is about a tooth or 2 before it reaches the line up hole (11 o'clock instead of 12 o'clock)
@@PiggyPower ive got he crank and cam lined up and locked in place, its only the fuel pump that seams to be out, but ive read that the fuel pump doesnt need to be timed even though theres lock holes for it?
@@GeeOwDee it is supposed to be timed up, for synchronization. For a time modern injection pumps were not but as they've got more refined and they aim for further efficiency targets, they tend to be timed up now. Have you tried rotating the engine a few times? (Each time checking)
@@PiggyPower okay ill time it back up, but surely it wouldn't cause it to knock the way it is, its quick a loud diesel/metal sounding knock that matches the tempo of the engine rpms
Have you ever replace clutch in Peugeot 3008 1.6 hdi? I am going do it soon by using stands from ground level - wondering how difficult it could be - i hope there is some room for basic moves :D Anyway, great upload :) Cheers
I've never done one on the 3008. You may struggle with the large gearbox on the floor (I believe it's a 6spd?)... May even need to drop the subframe on those?
@PiggyPower Clutch started slipping a few days ago, and it's manual 6 gear gearbox. I'll check if there is no air. Break fluid has never been replaced since I bought the car in 2012. it's only 98000 miles on the clock. I've heard some air in might affect as well - but not sure, thou. Thanks, Adamsky
Slipping won't be caused by air in the clutch hydraulic system. You just have odd feeling pedal and difficulty changing gear. Slip is slip...worn out. 6spd box is heavy!
That was excellent Sir. Thankyou. I think I'll pay someone to do mine for me, it looks a bit intense. Any advice on belt manufacturers brands to specify, or go genuine Citroen? Kind regards.
Hey Piggy ,another question! My friend would change the timing belt but the problem is when the belt was off he turned the dieselpump poulie a few turns ! Maybe 2-3 turns ! What must he do now ? Is it enough to place the pin in the hole or ?
@@PiggyPowerI beg to differ it can make a big difference to the amount of room there is to work on the end of the engine and what needs to be removed to access it.
You don’t need to remove exhaust ! The timing pin will fit if you pop it up knurled end first between the flywheel housing & the exhaust down pipe , then flip it straight & it should fit straight through the hole , then turn the crank pulley while holding the pin till it locks in place , same in reverse till it locks , using the compression cycle to tighten the bolt on stage 1 is not really advised as your straining the teeth on that section of a new belt with to much springing you need to do it while the crank is solid then stage 2 is 180 or 2 x 90 degree turns as you quite rightly say but again while solid 👍
You must have been very excited when you typed that.... Because I can't make any sense of it... But I hope everything went well with the Jaguar on the ground resting with your bat on it 😂👍👍🐷

@@johnmcculloch4009 I'd contact your supplier.
Buying things online can result in problems. I contacted the online supplier company and the girl on the hotline told me to send all the parts back and it would take about a month for an expert to look at it. If confirmed faulty I would receive a refund. I explained that the water pump and roller had already been installed and all I wanted was the faulty tensioner to be replaced. Totally intransigent . Send it all back was the reply !
@@johnmcculloch4009 yeah. Sounds about right.
Just buy a new tensioner and bite the bullet there.
Excellent! What more can I say!
That you've subscribed 😜🐷
Hey Piggy , there is something we dont understand ! normally the piston must be at tdc if you place the belt but ..but if you place te timing tool in the crankshaft pulley and check with a screwdriver in the injector hole you nodice that the piston is not fully at tdc ! the piston is a little but lower ! if you want to set the timing on the crankshaftpulley and you turn the engine clockwise the hole in the pulley wil only be in time if you turn the engine so that the piston is further than tdc! ! how is this possible ? or is this normal ?
Belts aren't always done at exactly 0°tdc ... Put the pins in as I've shown on the video, and it will be in time. In time is just that the fuel pump, cam and crank are in time with one another. Usually yes it's at 0°tdc but some vehicles do it at btdc, some 90°> ... Trust the timing pins. They should all fit easily and smoothly at the same time.
@@PiggyPower but sparky ,important question,even if the timing is in this case not on TDC, the injection still happens like normal ? Little bit before TDC?
@@benkr5870 injection timing is variable with every stroke. Some of these engines inject multiple times for each stroke. Just time it up with the pins and don't worry 😜
What do you put on the water pump gasket before reassembly?
Nothing. There's a gasket 😜
fantastic video, I hope mine goes as well
All the best. Take your time. Don't rush any step.
Good job going to give this a blast tomorrow 👍
Take your time, have tea ready to celebrate! 👌🐷
How long did that take from start to finish? I'm giving serious thoughts of doing this job on my own car.
3hrs. If you've never done such a job, I'd allow 6.
I just have a Peugeot 407 with same engine and all i can say that, even this tutorial can be helpful, is still a pain in butt because of it's position
Loads more room in your 407! Probably the easiest to do! Hope it went well 👍🐷
Good job bro 👏
Many thanks 👍🐷
Great vid , sod doing it myself )
Haha! It's best to have some confidence for doing this job as it's tricky and expensive when it goes wrong
When is a good time to get the cam belt replaced, manufacturer says 10 years or 110k miles
Yes, correct. Whichever comes first
@@PiggyPower not before, is premature failure common ?
@@frankythehousecat2681 if you don't know when it was changed... Or it's close to 10yrs or 100k miles... Just do it to be safe. I've not heard of any issues with premature failure on these.
Hi , what is the exact model of the car in this video ? greetings from new Peugeot fan from Poland :)
Can't recall exactly but the 16v 1.6 HDi is the same procedure on all models
Great video 👍
Thanks 👌🐷
I am looking at a Peugeot 2008 1.6 diesel (2015 reg). It's the Mistral Feline model. Can anyone tell me if it will have the same engine as this video please? It's got over 50k miles on it and wondering if this is a job I should be getting done if I buy?
16v or 8v... It's 100k or 10yrs... So if no evidence... Get it done for peace of mind 🐷👍
Witaj,a łancuszka nie wymieniasz?ile ma auto przebiegu?
Mileage is a bit irrelevant tbh... If it needs doing... Do it. The chain?
Hi I have a 308 1.5 bluehdi.
How would I know if the crank is tdc and not 180 out as the crank takes 2 turns and cam 1 turn. I'm not sure if my crank is in the right position even tho it locks with the pin same as the cam. I think I messed up somehow. I turned the engine over 6 times by hands and there was no Interference so I finished the job and the car did run about rough but I did have the injectors out at the same time as I did the chain also. I have since moved the crank another turn 180 and again turned the engine by hand and was fine. Car runs but I just done know if it's running as it should.
I do need to go into the belt assembly to fit a new cam seal and crank aux pulley so I'm trying to look for advice so when I do go I to it again I can make sure everything is as it should. Any help I would be most appreciated
Reset all the timing Inc the chain timing. Check for fault codes. Go from there. Lots of variables there you've mentioned.
@@PiggyPower the cam is timed both cams inside are linked using the arrows provided so both cams facing correctly I've always pinned the cam pulley and injection pully.
I'm just worried if the crank/flywheel is 180 out even tho it is timed and pinned with the cam.
As if the crank has had a extra turn that would mean it's not firing as it should or work it make any different as the cam and crank sensor are in sync so they determine what the injectors do.
I'm very confused and over thinking I think 🤣 obviously nothing was obstructing with I turned the car over by hand 6 times and the car runs although today I found 2 injectors fueling low so I managed to fix 1 of them just the other to do which won't help.
I thought if the crank/flywheel is 180 out I would notice some kind of running issues that I could determine it's wrong and needs changing 180 again when I'm next down there.
@@PiggyPower o and no fault codes at all with my autel.
Am I wrong thinking about the crank being 180? Maybe 180 still puts the crank in the same position everyone ?
What will happen if you dont time the fuel pump ? its commonrail so
It will cause running issues... It might be subtle but it will. As these injection systems get more finely tuned they need the pumps in time now too... And if you're going to the effort of doing the timing belt, may as well do it spot on 😉👍🐷
Hi piggy, thanks for all your videos. I am doing this and found that I don't have tensioner.(1.6hdi110 206cc 2007)... On Xmas day as well so no one to call 😭
You don't have the tensioner in the kit?
Sorry I should have explained myself better. I was refering to the auxiliary belt (pre timing belt access) tensioner., I have since found that some 110bhp engines don't have them . My timing belt kit has all necessary parts. Thank you for responding on Christmas day, hope your having a good one.
@@chamoisshine9951 ah ok, so do you need the aux belt tensioner then?
@@PiggyPowerno, the engine does not have an aux belt tensioner, it's just a pully, it is a stretch to fit system I've ordered a removing/installing kit
Having good fun watching your vids. We have had our 206cc 1.6hdi 110 for 16 years (it replaced a same spec gti-hdi) I've been watching your 10 reason to and not to own with a few ooh and arr moments. Thanks for all the vids, always make me grin
Hi I'm hoping you can help me, I was checking the timing on my 2007 Dispatch 1.6hdi as it was knocking on top end, very similar to a injector knock, replaced the injectors to still have the issue, upon checking the timing, i cant seam to get the fuel pump to line up, the crank and cam line up but the fuel pump is about a tooth or 2 before it reaches the line up hole (11 o'clock instead of 12 o'clock)
Then perhaps the timing is out? That is what you are checking after all?
@@PiggyPower ive got he crank and cam lined up and locked in place, its only the fuel pump that seams to be out, but ive read that the fuel pump doesnt need to be timed even though theres lock holes for it?
@@GeeOwDee it is supposed to be timed up, for synchronization. For a time modern injection pumps were not but as they've got more refined and they aim for further efficiency targets, they tend to be timed up now. Have you tried rotating the engine a few times? (Each time checking)
@@PiggyPower okay ill time it back up, but surely it wouldn't cause it to knock the way it is, its quick a loud diesel/metal sounding knock that matches the tempo of the engine rpms
@@GeeOwDee unlikely. But worth getting it right? For sure.
I've heard that fuel pump position doesn't matter. Is that correct?
That is not correct.
Have you ever replace clutch in Peugeot 3008 1.6 hdi?
I am going do it soon by using stands from ground level - wondering how difficult it could be - i hope there is some room for basic moves :D
Anyway, great upload :)
Cheers
I've never done one on the 3008. You may struggle with the large gearbox on the floor (I believe it's a 6spd?)... May even need to drop the subframe on those?
@PiggyPower Clutch started slipping a few days ago, and it's manual 6 gear gearbox. I'll check if there is no air. Break fluid has never been replaced since I bought the car in 2012. it's only 98000 miles on the clock. I've heard some air in might affect as well - but not sure, thou.
Thanks,
Adamsky
Slipping won't be caused by air in the clutch hydraulic system. You just have odd feeling pedal and difficulty changing gear. Slip is slip...worn out. 6spd box is heavy!
That was excellent Sir. Thankyou. I think I'll pay someone to do mine for me, it looks a bit intense. Any advice on belt manufacturers brands to specify, or go genuine Citroen? Kind regards.
Genuine Citroen/Peugeot aren't made by Citroen/Peugeot so find out what they use and buy that 👍👍🐷
Hey Piggy ,another question! My friend would change the timing belt but the problem is when the belt was off he turned the dieselpump poulie a few turns ! Maybe 2-3 turns ! What must he do now ? Is it enough to place the pin in the hole or ?
Need to time it correctly 👌🐷
@@PiggyPower so what he must do now with the pump? How to time the pump now in this case correctly?
@@benkr5870 follow the instructions and time it up in sync with the cam and crank
a set of drills instead of the pins work well as well.
I mention this in the video 😜 but... I also mention that they have a tendency to gash your fingers/hand open due to their sharp edges! 😉
@@PiggyPower they also sometimes won't fit, on my XU i didn't have room to put them in, which is why i cut a set of old drills for that stuff,
Old bolts I have 100s. Always spot on. 🐷😁👍
Thanks :)
You're welcome 👍🐖
what car is this on?
Makes no difference, it's a 16v 1.6HDi, fitted to LOADS of different stuff
@@PiggyPowerI beg to differ it can make a big difference to the amount of room there is to work on the end of the engine and what needs to be removed to access it.
@@HenryOCarmichaelSmith nah, they are all awful to access 🤣👍
You don’t need to remove exhaust ! The timing pin will fit if you pop it up knurled end first between the flywheel housing & the exhaust down pipe , then flip it straight & it should fit straight through the hole , then turn the crank pulley while holding the pin till it locks in place , same in reverse till it locks , using the compression cycle to tighten the bolt on stage 1 is not really advised as your straining the teeth on that section of a new belt with to much springing you need to do it while the crank is solid then stage 2 is 180 or 2 x 90 degree turns as you quite rightly say but again while solid 👍
I didn't remove the exhaust from memory? 🤔
4hrs in and i still can't get the belt on 😂😂
Little by little.
👍👍👍
👌👍👌🐷👌👍👌🐷👌🤗😆🤗
Did you mean fuel pump pulley? Thought it was water pump
Going to need to reference a time stamp 😉👍
@@PiggyPower 15:00
@@zeez3139 I correct myself ... I confirm its fuel pump.
Keep watching the video and I remove/change the water pump 😉🐷👍
@@PiggyPower Thanx
Crank shaft pulley bolt I cheat socket on big bat rest on the ground jag engine 😂
You must have been very excited when you typed that.... Because I can't make any sense of it... But I hope everything went well with the Jaguar on the ground resting with your bat on it 😂👍👍🐷
fuel pump timing on a common rail engine? hmmmmmmmmm
Yes. It's pretty common in modern vehicles due to pulses and efficiency.
@ower Good to know. Having briefly read up on this apparently timing incorrectly can also lead to premature belt failure. Every day's a school day...
Yeah for sure. I always say, if you stop learning, we stop living!
@@PiggyPowerI wasn't aware of this, can you explain it's relevance please ?
