Hi Mark, fantastic job on the cam belt change. Clearly the old one wasn't going to last long, doing a thorough job makes the finished car far more sellable and worth a bit more too. Looking forward to seeing the next project.
Great work , I agree with your choice for service in the cars changing the belts ETC , it’s also a good selling point , and a piece of mind for the new owners 👍
Interesting video mate all those special tools required for a ford u do a good job it's shows how much time and effect u put in on these cars to make the car safe and reliable for the new owner is what I like Great videos Phil in stoke
I had a mark 2 focus since 2013 love it she a bit long in the tooth now. Done over a 100,000 miles bought her when she had 40,000 back in 2013 for £3000. The ford focus is so easy to work on when stuff needs doing its easy to keep them on the road if you are any good with cars which i am no mechanic but I'm ok with a spanner you know. She due a timing belt change so wanted to see how its done.
Hi Mark. It looks as though you caught the cam belt just in time. The other parts fitted are also going to be a bonus to the next owner. I know you always direct them to you chanel to view the car being worked on which in it's self is another bonus for them. Well done yet again. 👍
Nice video, I wanted to check the condition of the cambelt on my focus but by looking at the plastic cover it seems tricky without taking the engine mount apart, do you have an ideia if it is doable?
Thanks for that can I just check with you that it is the timing belt because first it rattled and then slight whining noise and now the whining is a lot louder so it is the timing belt and water pump am I right
Hi Mark, looks like the gold tool looks like a crank pully puller....looks like the prongs go through the holes in the pully and you twist to grab the metal from behind. I may be wrong but that's the impression I got.
Hi Jordan sorry buddy I can’t remember what part number is but it’s on Euro car parts just go to website and put in your reg then search for the part good luck buddy 👍👍
a great days work there mark that has added quite a bit of value to the car but more than that its added good reputation as whomever buys this vehicle will get a quality car with no jobs to do and you yourself know this too as you know your selling the car in the best condition possible it did need doing i do agree with your comment the engine is everything yes the rest of the car also matters but your approach to these cars is spot on
Thanks Charles I just fill so much better knowing the cars I do will last for the next owner I’m not going to be one if there’s people fixing cars with no care that’s not me nice one buddy 👍👍
@@ResurwreckAutosUK Thankyou Mark. That is very helpful to know. I've been looking into buying one myself in the next month. But wary if the timing belt hasn't been done. Am also asking around to see how much a garage would charge to do the job of replacing the time belt, and the other bits to go with it.
@@ResurwreckAutosUK Hi, i live in north Wiltshire. I'm not sure which part of the country you live in? Do you know what the current going rate is to replace the timing belt, water pump etc?
Love focuses i have one had it for 6 years brilliant cars apparently the glove box doubles up as a mini fridge when air con is on not sure if this is true but have been told by a couple of different peoole
What is the paint code for this car Mark ? I am after a n/s/r outer door handle for one but not sure of colour . Cheers Rich. (One of wifes friends cars )
Just looking at the way that radiator is curved - Do you think someone drive over those bollards that go up and down to let you in restricted zones. Just seems strange coz the bumper in front is OK. my mum did a similar thing - WOMAN DRIVER OBVS. keep up the good work
Hi mark looks like you caught that cam belt just in time and well done for changing the belt as well and and other parts you are doing as well it will give the new owner some peice of mind that it has been done and another brilliant video as always and hope you make a good profit it it and hope you are staying safe and well and have you bid on then more cars yet then
Has a few have commented mark I think your tool in your kit is for that pulley, how good who knows, hat off to you tho takes some courage to contemplate doing cambelts most people send them to t garage, hope you make some profit, you already have gained experience out of it so profit will be another bonus
Good video mark. Hopefully this focus will come good. Any reason for the background music in the video?? Just wondering as not sure whether to listen you or music. lol
It's a puller to take the cam sprocket offf the camshaft. When you're using a puller try to get the pin as central as possible to stop it taking the pulley off at an angle, pops off easier and less chance of damaging something or the puller slipping. Good you have the tools now, make it easier, accurate and more successful. You'll probably find none of the belts will have been done, especially auxiliaries which tend not to get replaced unless they cause problems or break. My dad used to carry a pair of tights in the car in case the fan belt burst, well that's what he told us 😂😂l Can I suggest you put the sticker on top of the cambelt cover where it's easier seen? On the bonnet underside is out of sight.
Not sure there a profit in that I sold a 61plate 1.6 desil 90k same colour higher spec literally mint for 1950 the other day seen ones the same as yours for around 1500 hpi clear hope it works out for you
A genuine question not a criticism but you said they can go to the channel and see the car been done but you started hiding the reg numbers what’s the thinking behind that? I have never understood it as we drive about all day with our reg plates on show to everyone and anyone in day to day life. Anyway another good video your a brave man with these timing belts I know of garages that won’t do them keep up the good work 👍
Hi Shane I hid the reg because we don’t know Who is watching and might clone the plates just not worth the come back on me if that happens just being cautious when it comes to UA-cam 👍
Chuck a new pcv on there aswell. Another part thats overlooked. If it fails pressure builds and forces oil past the weakest points such as gaskets and piston rings.
The good thing is the puller for the Diesel engines. It’s the proper way to remove them as they are taper fit most lazy people just tap them with a hammer but this tends to crack them or distort them.
When i done the belts on my 55 plate focus i had to buy the belts form ford as i needed the tool that ford only sells with the belts to replace the belts when i done the alternator.
what a completely pointless video, the title implies you are explaining how it's done instead you just do jump cuts and never actually show the work. Plus you spend 90% of the video yakking about crap that has nothing to do with the title of the video

That will give the next owner peace of mind. If they keep it serviced they will get another 100K out of it. Brilliant content.
Thanks Bill it is very good for the next owner peace of mind for me aswell its a win win

Mate is there a way i can check whether the cambelt of my focus has been changed? No service history from prev owner
Hi mate yeah there is you need to remove the cover the top peace then check the belt for wear marks loads of videos on UA-cam buddy
Hi Mark. It looks as though you caught the cam belt just in time. The other parts fitted are also going to be a bonus to the next owner.
I know you always direct them to you chanel to view the car being worked on which in it's self is another bonus for them. Well done yet again. 👍
Thanks Norman i do tell people to go to the channel to see how it was fixed its good proof
Love your confidence in being able to tackle a job like this!!! Straightaway I would be calling a mechanic/garage 😋 Top work mate, well done! 👍🙂
Thanks Steve i love having a go nice one buddy
Nice video, I wanted to check the condition of the cambelt on my focus but by looking at the plastic cover it seems tricky without taking the engine mount apart, do you have an ideia if it is doable?
Hi buddy what you can do is take off the cam cover and look side in on the belt you should be just able to see it
Thanks Mark - been looking for the right tool to do the cambelt on my Fiesta 1.6 Petrol - will get a tool kit ordered
Great job on the belts as usual unfazed by any job 👍
Thanks Gary i do like giving things a go
Hi, the video is very good, I would like to know what engine code you have? Mine is SIDA, this instruction is also good for that.
Hi mate I’m not sure what the code is 👍👍
informative and entertaining good stuff Mark always look forward to your content
Thanks for that can I just check with you that it is the timing belt because first it rattled and then slight whining noise and now the whining is a lot louder so it is the timing belt and water pump am I right
Hi Steven yes mate timing belt water pump and auxiliary belts 👍
Hi Mark, looks like the gold tool looks like a crank pully puller....looks like the prongs go through the holes in the pully and you twist to grab the metal from behind. I may be wrong but that's the impression I got.
Hi Kenneth I thought that but I tried it and don’t fit the pulley think it might be for the sprocket cams
Hi mark dose the crank pulley have a key way ??
Hi Gregg not sure about that I think it’s free
coming along great now mark very good video thanks for showing
Thanks for watching buddy nice one
Hi mark, great content more coverage of the job in hand , well done

Hi Jordan sorry buddy I can’t remember what part number is but it’s on Euro car parts just go to website and put in your reg then search for the part good luck buddy 👍👍
Good job bud , it was very clear for us cheers again
hi that three leg tool in the kit is a bottom pulley puller for removing the crankshaft pulley so the cambelt can be removed, hope this helps you

That’s to pull off the front engine pulley. 👍🏻
good vidio
Chuck a new pcv on there aswell. Another part thats overlooked. If it fails pressure builds and forces oil past the weakest points such as gaskets and piston rings.

Thanks Andrew think you are right
Belts are probably rusty as water pump is leaking I expect
