Good work sir 😊

Got some quite excessive (I think) engine vibration at the moment in C Max 1.6 TDCI, the front right mount was knackered and I replaced that when doing timing belt. However the vibration persists. You think the other mounts could also be knackered?

This is my uncles Channel

Very well explained, thanks!

Cheers mate, just done mine. It had an aftermarket cable on that was seized up (because they are crap) and it had metal parts all over it like the retainer barbs and the collar that passes through the caliper and, yes you guessed it, it seizes up. The metal retaining barbs are a nightmare to release unless you have a Dremel. You can just get in with a cutting disc and cut the little buggers off. And then I found all the rust underneath so I'm currently sorting that out before I put the cables back in. The joys of motoring!

On my Ford Galaxy DW10 the original belt is FoMoCo 6PK 1206. The Gates belt have different tracks, they do not fit into the rollers

Welp i got some i guess ac pipes infront soo i guess i cannot do much here.

I’ve just done my mk 1 2007 c max, what a nightmare to get the filter in, wires in the way, I’ve pretty much trashed the filter getting it in and bruised my ribs in the process, who designed this car? So anything I’ve done on this car is a pain in the a#s* to access, spark plugs, cabin filter, battery, and a favourite of mine the screen wash bottle inside the front os wing. Ford designers 👎

Ah the joy of fixing modern cars, dismantle everything first to replace simple and wearing parts.

Podrías hacer un vídeo y decir dónde se pone el gato para cambiar uva rueda en ese coche? No sé dónde ponerlo. Te lo agradecería mucho

Very helpful video thank you. I have to change the switch on mt daughter's cmax as it has the symptoms that you described.

Cheers for that. I shall give it a pop

That's helpful my 2008 cmax has got loads of little faults this being one of them.

After watching that, i would disconnect the battery and remove the green block connector. for an oldish person, that would be a nightmare.

I broke the white clip on 3:04 Where can I find a replacement for it?

I didnt spot the tabs at the bottom when i tried taking it off earlier.Thanks for the video

Question : is it enough sealing between filter insert and cover ( small plastic pipe ) ? I mean there are no any sealing rings between. Little strange design

Whoever design the filter placing needs to be sacked

Thanks for your brilliant video. 58 plate 2.0 TDCi Focus. Tensioner nut was 19mm on mine so just needed two 19mm combination spanners (or a 19 and 20 etc) for the extra leverage. Took less than 30 minutes on the roadside using standard jack and hand tools - trolley jack and air/electric ratchet would speed things up. Mine only had Alternator, A/C, Crank and the tensioner/idler pulleys. Found it easiest to get belt on Alt, A/C and partially on Crank pulley then push back idler with the 'extended' spanners and finally flip on crank pulley, properly as more 'space' - didn't need to use 5mm pin to hold 'back' tension. As shown in video you are turning spanner anti-clockwise as if to undo bolt but due to cam action (and very tight bolt) idler pulley pushes back to release tension on belt.

I have the same issue 2011 c-max plus the boot opens randomly on its own while driving or stationary. I’m hoping this will be a quick fix. Thankyou pal

Helpful mention of forscan - I have ordered one off Amazon for diagnosis now after buying a replacement latch and UCU which did not fix my issue. Wish I had invested in diagnostics first as it would probably saved money and time.

Helpful for me with a mondeo mk3 2004 tailgate latch problem too. although my stitch is working I think. does the tailgate not have a mechanical key tucked up near the switch for emergency use like my Mondeo? I didn't know it was there as I never needed it until the latch failed electrically. Worth a look if you are sctarching your head on how to get in the boot.

I couldn't remove mine, can't swing the engine forward enough to free the torque mount. Please help

Yes I liked the video because It was for my C Max 2008 very helpful ! Thank you and keep up the Good work.

Thanks

Great video. Does the cmax mark 2 just pop out or do you still need to remove trim

I found this video really helpful, thank you

When changing the belt is it necessary to do the water pump as well. Thanks.

Thanks . Great vid'

Hi Gary here grate video very interesting and informative keep them coming, I have a Ford C Max titanium on a 66 plate, would you please tell me what the part number is as I have the same problem as you and don't know how to find it on the video you made. Thank you so much for your help

Done this job today on my Kuga, thanks to this vid. Oddly my tensioner that come off (Dayco) was 17mm on the end, the replacement was 15mm nut!? Good job to be honest as I didn’t have a 15mm spanner - so had the original been 15mm I’d not have been able to get it un-tentioned.

I’m about to do this job, thanks for the video.

HAY!!! Somebody put the passenger side on the wrong side!

👍🏼🤝🏼

Really helpful and clearly explained. Thanks very much.

Very helpful - thankyou !

You are a legend!

That sort of finicky job raises my blood pressure and makes my family and pets give a wide berth for several hours. Thank the Lord there are folks such as yourself that i will gladly pay for the sake of my own sanity and the safety of others. Good video buddy.

Good information. Thanks.

Hi, great video and very well presented. I have a bit of an issue with air in the clear pipe coming after the fuel filter which causes the car to jump a bit. Is there a pump between the fuel tank and the fuel filter, maybe under the back seat as in some cars? I think that if there is one then there could be a leak somewhere. Any ideas?

A great video, thank you so much, very helpful. I bet it was difficult doing it one handed.

Nice job and excellent video!

Thanks to this video changing the bulb was done within 10 minutes, thanks again for posting!

I was about to take mine to Halfords until I watched this. You've saved me a few bob. Thanks

My most recent advisory says: "Front Anti-roll bar ball joint has slight play", can that cause the slight and occasional shake in my steering wheel?

It is important, however, that once the video has been made, which is in any case well done, to let people know how the car behaves on the road, after the spare part has been replaced.

Very clear instructions and information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

This wedge is for automatic transmissions, you must specify this.

Perfect video, really easy work. Solved an annoying problem. Thanks mate. Kind regards from the Netherlands

Wel explained. Thanks a lot.
