Hi Andy please stat when turning the engine bij starter the auxiliary pouli must be mounted on the crank shaft !! Otherwise the belt will come off . Furthermore nice hand on for changing cambelt on fiat ducato😊
Hi I’ve just actually watched the video again for myself and there’s a couple of things I’ve missed out and the the pulley is one of them. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Many thanks.
Excellent step by step guide, with first class, smooth, crisp, concise camera work and descriptions. Must be the clearest, quality filmed / lit, waffle free tutorial for mechanical work I've ever seen. Hats off to you sir!
Thanks great video, excellent effort on your part. You convinced me to pay someone who knows what they are doing to change my belts and water pump. Nice job by you👍
Well done wish you could have done mine ...not sure my local garage are thorough like you were ..using loctite and cleaning corrosion using vaseline etc ...great video ? they charge heavily too 😮?@@porscheminormechanicsrando8394
Thank you for this video. I just completed the job on my Ducato using your video step by step. I struggled enormously pulling that toothed wheel from the high pressure diesel pump. The rest went exactly like in your video. Hartelijk Bedankt en groeten from the Netherlands!
Mine was tight but I think I screwed a bolt through one of the additional ports and used the casing to apply some pressure. I could be wrong because I’ve done a few in the past. But apologies if I didn’t include that in video.
What a fantastic video about a job that we have given away to the garage but good to see that it is a big job and happy to pay for this ,we have a 2014 ducato 130 what is near the same ,very good camera work and good narration what helps a big thanks from Lowland video production new Zealand
Thank you for making this. I'm about to undertake the same job and this video has been invaluable. Like yours, mine is low mileage too - only 24k miles. Its seems ridiculous to be changing the cambelt, but its 5 years old and I'm trying to sell it and its due.
Tnx, now I know that I do not pay for too much of 7 hour garage job! What a task! Buddy drove over 200 000km accidentally for his (he was thinking it is a chain engine) all ok. I did 8 years and 80 000 km for first and 8 years and 50 000 km for second in my camper, both times belt was like a new last time waterpump too. But don't push your luck as I did!
Wow. He was one lucky bunny. The Ducato does have a small chain on at the back in the cam but that one appears to be a life long chain ( whatever that means).
Brilliant video and instruction give, thanks whilst I have booked mine in being 5 years old and 33,000 I just don't have the garage or outside space to have a good myself.
Excellent video, very good work, our MH is due by age next March. I’m pretty handy but don’t have the bottle lol. As an aside when I managed workshops the cambelt could wear on either edge so the actual width narrows. Just found your channel and I subscribed. The local Fiat Commercial garage is my plan👍
Thanks for a well informed video, its not just changing a cambelt its getting to know your vehicle, so a winner and for a later date if it breaks down out on the road , and if you aren't capable of changing the belt you could atleast clean and lube the rusty studs and clean the water outlet flap
Brilliant video in all respects. Well done. I have a 3Litre multi jet 2014 has done 55km’s. You video will be invaluable if I have the guts to take on the job.
Thanks again for the video , its been a great help , just did my belt and the other belts . My only worry is torque of tensioner on timing belt , my big torque didnt go down to 35nm and small one only went to 25 , so 25nm on that one and a bit of guess work for 35 but i did out blue thread lock on . Heres hoping
We have a 2013 X250 Multijet. Fiat Commercial wanted £1300 to change belt. A local independent commercial garage changed cambelt, waterpump and aux belt for £650. Parts were almost £300. I’m an engineer but for £350 I think I’ll let someone else do it to save hassle.
£300 hundred is still overpriced for the kit and pump. A gates kit is under £200 if you shop around but I fully understand why you would let a garage do it for you. I’ve done 30 or 40 cam belts and chains over the years and I can tell you my 3rd one ( on a L200 Mitsubishi) didn’t end well, somehow the tensioner failed and the timing jumped a couple of teeth and that was the end of that engine. I was paranoid about doing the next few from that moment I always double check and again all my fixings and timing marks. Fingers crossed ive never had a problem since. It’s fair to say that tensioners of all kinds have improved considerably over the years. Re. Waterpump I think it’s sufficient to change it every other belt unless I think it’s suspect. Best wishes.
thanks for sharing , mine has done 60k and is also a 2015 although i haven't used it for the last year , i was going to france next month but i might put it off until next year so it gives me plenty of time to change the timing and auxiliary belts .
Sounds like a plan. France was amazing I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. I’m currently in middle of fitting rear air bags to the suspension on mine. Should be finished tomorrow. Thanks for these comments.
Excellent video, really appreciate the extras like checking scuttle drain hose. Feeling confident to do my own now, only worry is when pulling the fuel pump pulley what are those M8 bolts pushing against on the fuel pump spindle , (black disc) I’m guessing it’s not a seal or plastic collar? Many thanks again Good job
Just found (and watched) your video on how to do this job after I had employed someone to do it for me. The problem I have is that he said the fuel pump needs replacing as it was damaged removing it from the casing. Your video shows the sprocket being removed with three jacking bolts and then, after all the mounting bolts have been removed, the case being wriggled a little it comes away from the fuel pump quite easily. I believe he has hit the end of the pump shaft to remove it from the casing rather than remove the sprocket. Was there a problem releasing the fuel pump from the casing on your engine?
Brilliant video which has inspired me to do mine. One question - all the timing locking tools I see online say that are for the F1AE0481 engine which it says is up to 2011 whereas mine is F1AE3481E (albeit a 2014 model) Do you know if the tools are the same for both - I'm assuming yours would be the same as mine being 2014 also.
I watched your video again now the motrhome is back from our garage , nice made video recording and well edited where needed, our 130 ducato 2014 is out of the garage and working we paid the bill and happy to have our HILTON on the road agian , just to ask,do you have to reset the timing belt in the computer ?? if you have an OBD reader?? having the same model of motor yours I like to find one that works ,Kind Regards Rolf Comez Lowland Video production Hamilton New Zealand
GOOD JOB! GOOD TUTORIAL! I WILL REPLACE IT TOMORROW, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU REMOVED THE NUT OF THE GEAR WHEEL OF THE COMMON RAIL PUMP. It rotates freely...
I have a 2017 Ducato X250 Multijet. I'm thinking of replacing the timing belt and water pump myself after 110,000 km. The first one was replaced at the dealer. Do I need to loosen the four compressor bolts to remove the AC belt? What should I do when installing a new AC belt? There is little information about Ducato in my country (Japan), so your RUclips is very helpful. I have subscribed to your channel, so I look forward to your continued support. Thank you very much.
Yes to the compressor bolts. The drive belt is a stretch belt so there’s no adjustment so it helps to remove the compressor bolts to remove the belt and put the belt in place before you refit. IT’s fiddly but easier than trying to get the belt over the pulley later on.
Hello my friend, thank you for all the hard work in bringing this in depth video to us all. A question please i have a 2012 Fiat Ducato 2.3 i wasn't sure about the reference used as in the X250, i cant see any reference like that on the V5 so i assume yours is also the 2.3 multi jet engine also? Thank you again really appreciate your hard work. Kind regards Jay
The 250 is the model number if you look at your chassis number in the window it will it show it there. The 290 is the latest model. The 250 is the older model but with a face lift.
Hi , Do you need to loosen the cam shaft sprocket to make sure it all settles in place when you tension belt , then retighten . I read that’s the reason for the little camshaft pins that come in kit . I remember fitting a vw t4 timing belt and the vw instructions said to loosen the pulley then retighten after belt fitted . I’m no expert , only ever done two and I’m about to do mine on my 2019 plate . I would rather not have to buy a tool to hold pulley but rather do it if it should be done that way , cheers
That’s quite right. I understand that is a recommendation but I have never done it in the Ducato. I had it pinned up excluding the fuel pump but was able to seat it just fine.
Thanks for a great video. It's giving me a lot of confidence to do my own. I've got everything necessary except knowing which type of bolt goes in the fuel pump sprocket in order to release it from the shaft. Could you tell me the size and thread of these 3 release bolts? Thanks buddy
@@colinware4295 yes no problems. Went to France last year and this year it’s Spain among a few Uk destinations. Plan to go through all the coolant hoses before then. It never ends 😂.
Hi from what I recall the air con pipes are mainly aluminium and rigid. If your pipes are flexible and collapsing then I can only imagine that they may have perished. I didn’t remove any of my air conditioning pipes. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.
My Ducato has only done 24k miles and I am changing the cambelt, but was going to not bother with the water pump as its hardly had any use and was thinking that the original pump is probably better quality than a new aftermarket one. However, I see your water pump was noticeably stiffer than the new one, yet only done 37k miles. Would you recommend just changing it too?
I fully understand what your saying but while your in there just change the pump it’s much easier now because there’s every chance it could fail before the next cam belt change and it’s the same strip down all over again. It’s also piece of mind.
Thanks very usefull , just a question removing cylinderhead same procedure following your video any extra care removing head? Like locking ,marking? Thanks again
Never removed a Ducato head well not yet anyway 😂 you’d still need to remove the belt etc and probably get some movement on the engine to to remove the turbo and manifold but I’m just guessing as I’ve never looked at the prospect.
i have seen a tech bulletin from gates for some vw belts saying change interval is 130,000 and no time specified this belt doesn't look a great deal different, every one that removes a belt seems to say the same thing which is "it looks like a new belt "
At the end of the day they all stretch and adopt tiny cracks over time. The vehicles that sit around half the time are are more prone to failure due to the stress around the tensioner. Id always change mine every 4 - 5 years it’s a lot easier than replacing your engine. Ultimately the choice is yours. The manufacturer is worried if it fails or not
Came across this video I’ve only done 11,500 miles in my fiat Ducato Motorhome I don’t think I’d have the confidence to do the timing belt myself so well done but do you really need to do it every 3 to 5 years irrelevant of mileage?
did you use a special cam timing bolts kit? I mean the pins that keep everything aligned while you remove the cam belt. any idea on where you get one? thanks.
Hi yes I did. You can buy a pin kit on eBay for about £18. I only pinned the the cam shaft and the crankshaft. There is no need to pin the fuel pump as it’s not timed up and the other pin is for the back of the cam shaft which is only necessary if your doing the cam chain. Yes there is a chain and a belt on the Ducato.
I have a 2014 fiat Ducato Motorhome and the cambelt was changed in September 2020 on 23000 miles so correct me if I’m wrong it’ll be due a change in September 2025? The clock is now 42000 and I expect by Sept 2025 it would have done circa 50000 miles, probably best I get the water pump at the same time?
Great job, thank you so much! I didnt get the nm of the tensioner even though i watched the video three times :) do you remember how much you fastened it after adding the locktite?
did you use powertools or air tools for all those screws? and thanks for the detailed video. I have done some things on the car but not the engine so I'm quite exited doing this job in the next few weeks. any tips for tools that make my life easier doing this?
Hi I paid about £240 including the waterpump. It was a Gates complete kit. Time wise I’d say it took me 8 hours but I cleaned up a lot of areas including the engine mount studs. I cleaned the washer and expansion bottles and I prepared and painted the sump and gave the power steering pump a clean up and a coat of lacquer. I’d say you could do it in 6 with all your tools in place.
While I totally agree with your point I would just like to say that under those conditions without the ancillaries connected the belt will float on the crank a pulley a little but doesn’t come off. The engine will only run for a few seconds with the intercooler disconnected. That being said It’s actually something I would not recommend and will make a new note in the videos description stating this fact. Thanks for raising the point.

Hi no you do not reset the timing belt. It’s not recorded.
Very good video, thanks for the info.😀
GOOD JOB! GOOD TUTORIAL! I WILL REPLACE IT TOMORROW, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU REMOVED THE NUT OF THE GEAR WHEEL OF THE COMMON RAIL PUMP. It rotates freely...
You should be able to pin the pump or use long threaded bolts through the spokes of the gear.

Simply used the long bolts and locked it off against the casing

Definitely makes sense to change it next time because it only adds about a hour on to the job when the belts off.
Great job, thank you so much! I didnt get the nm of the tensioner even though i watched the video three times :) do you remember how much you fastened it after adding the locktite?
Hi 45Nm.
great Video, how long did it take you to exchange?
Exchange? The job took me a couple of days but I did a lot of other stuff while I was in there
did you use powertools or air tools for all those screws? and thanks for the detailed video. I have done some things on the car but not the engine so I'm quite exited doing this job in the next few weeks. any tips for tools that make my life easier doing this?
No air tools. I don’t currently possess any 😂 thanks.
What is a ballpark cost of parts and the typical time .
Taken to do the job?
Hi I paid about £240 including the waterpump. It was a Gates complete kit. Time wise I’d say it took me 8 hours but I cleaned up a lot of areas including the engine mount studs. I cleaned the washer and expansion bottles and I prepared and painted the sump and gave the power steering pump a clean up and a coat of lacquer. I’d say you could do it in 6 with all your tools in place.
Never start a Engine without pully 🤦🏼♂️
The pully makes sure the belt wont slide off 👌🏼
While I totally agree with your point I would just like to say that under those conditions without the ancillaries connected the belt will float on the crank a pulley a little but doesn’t come off. The engine will only run for a few seconds with the intercooler disconnected. That being said It’s actually something I would not recommend and will make a new note in the videos description stating this fact.
Thanks for raising the point.
brillisant
Hi, is your engine the 2.3 or the 2.0 ?
Hi it’s a 2.3 multi jet.
bravooo. muy buen video sr doctor
What a nightmare job mines due
Honestly it’s not that bad if you’ve got the tools and some experience with engines.
