    Replacing your Timing Belt is a 1:0 scenario, meaning that if you do it wrong you might need to face extreme repairs. Don't do this if you are not familiar with this kind of work. In this case, I did some mistakes according to some viewers.
    1:55 - start of replacement
    In this video we are installing a new waterpump, timing belt and last but not least the v-belt. For the first two we will need a special tool set suitable for that very engine, the fca 1.4 tb multiair. You can get this tool set anywhere you want online.

    It's best to apply the crank and cam locking tools when the belt is attached. Then you don't need to individually go and align each of them together saving some time and effort. Once the crank lines up the cam will be done too.

    • @froggy0162
      @froggy0162 3 роки тому +1

      You also run the risk of bending a valve if the crank is at top dead centre (it should be 90 degrees from TDC for this job, pistons halfway down the bore).
      If you feel any resistance to turning that can over, STOP! Dont force it or you'll be removing the head to replace valves...

      @@fierakuitali9313 It would usually be a head off job for that on the risk of bent valves. But if not. Assure the valves are in a relatively high position to the pistons then turn the crank to TDC afterwards. Plugs out to ease the strength of the compression stroke.

      Sir, I followed the process, 1- pistons lined equally 2-cam locked 3 loosen tensioner 5 loosen cam wheel,then changed the belts afterwards , backwards the steps..engine started but stopped in 4 seconds then never started,no noise no apnormal sounds and not starting again, what can be the expected problem??

  • @froggy0162
    @froggy0162 3 роки тому +20

    You missed an important step - the cam pulley bolt should be loosened to allow the pulley to rotate on the cam. This ensure the belt is properly tensioned - if you dont, the tensioner cannot pull on the belt on the water pump side and you could potentially end up with a loose belt.
    DO NOT use the cam locking tool to hold the cam when you undo the bolt, you must brace the pulley directly. The tool will break the camshaft otherwise...

    You should also clean before reassembly. You put the tensioner on over oil and dirt - that runs the risk of it coming loose later and not being perfectly aligned.
    Its a rule for all car work - clean everything before reassembly.

  • @craigjones8775
    @craigjones8775 3 роки тому +9

    Shouldnt you lock the crankshaft first before removing the belt. As I understand it, when in the locked position all the pistons are halfway down the bores. If you remove the belt first you are at risk of hitting a piston with the valves.

  • @bubbajones5260
    @bubbajones5260 Рік тому +2

    First off,......You are supposed to loosen the cam pulley before you tighten the tensioner, then after it is installed, and retightened you rotate the engine two revolutions and recheck the tensioner tabs to make sure they are still aligned. As you can clearly see in the video as you are buttoning things up, yours are no longer aligned. Yo may want to revisit this job.
    before failure.

    Thx for documenting the process, but yes, like people said you shouldn't have moved the camshaft without the belt attached, from what i can see the tools adjust the timming themselves but its better to be safe than sorry. I don't have the tools and i'm probably gonna do it without them, mine is a Fiat Bravo T-Jet, same engine but the head is different due to the MultiAir system, from the outside, it looks the same. Also, be carefull with that crap ton of sealant, you do not want it to clog the pump neither a coolant channel inside the engine, you used way too much.

    Thanks for informative video. How much a car repair shop will take for changing the timing belt + water pump in Germany? In Finland, the fee is about 500 to 580 euros and I think that is a robbery. I finally found one garage which made it just under 300 euros. I have had year 2013 Mito QV over three years with no major problems, 70 thousand kilometers driven by me (120 thousand altogether). I have changed bearings for rear wheels and bearings to front suspension, the bearing is located above front coil spring.

    • @itsaboutcarsyt
      @itsaboutcarsyt  4 роки тому +2

      Thanks! So my Engine was running on 2 cylinders 3 or 4 times in total. Always happened when i didn't drive the Mito for a couple of days. The Car started normally and after 2 minutes the Check Engine light turned on, resulting in 2 cylinders to misfire. Turned the Car off and on again, and everything was fine again.
      Happened once every one or two weeks. The Alfa shop i went to deleted the error code once but that didn't solve it.
      Additionaly i discovered oil on one of the spark plugs, but the other three seemed dry so that couldn't be it.
      However in my next video i'll show how to exchange the MultiAir Microfilter (+ valve cover gasket and spark plug tube seals), and since then that issue never showed up again👍

    Why is it so important to lock the crankshaft and camshaft? Cant you just mark the positions with a marker or something and make sure they don’t move? I think I will order the tools just in case and try to do it without removing the vacuum pump to save some time.

    Hi , You need to Place the engine on TDC , and you Have to place both the cam and crank locks on prior to belt removal, in order to ensure that The crank and Cam are out of Sync.And it's an Absolute No NO ! to move the camshaft once the belt was removed!

    • @CasualFlyer
      @CasualFlyer 3 роки тому +1

      Domingos, on this engine when the crankshaft tool is in place and locked, all pistons are mid travel and not on TDC. The only thing I would do differently than the video is locking the crankshaft and then rotate the camshaft and lock it.
