Nice one I just need a dygrinder
Little draper battery one is perfect for this
Great video love the new look
Thanks buddy some graft as always and the people involved with me and the channel should give themselves a massive pat on the back they all know who they are :)
Great Vid. Just done mine and the exact same bolt snapped. What size is that bolt does anyone know as i cant find a description anywhere online to get a replacement bolt..... i know you should replace the whole thing but i had the new seal and needed the car so that's all done but i need to go back and correct the bolt issue asap.....
Thanks for the comment buddy really appreciated. I’ll be honest matey I couldn’t tell you what bolt it is without looking at it as this video was done quite a long time ago
did you find the parts number? just happened to me today bloody hell.
Exact same bolt snapped on me today. Do you think a multi tool will work to cut the plastic? Awesome vid !
Thanks very much for the great comment and yeh that’s exactly what I used a multi tool little die grinder to chop the plastic and it just leaves the bolt there so you can get some mole grips on the bolt and wind it out :)
Duck oil is what you need.
Not seen that In years lol
I wish I hadn’t seen this video now. I’m going to do a rocker cover gasket replacement on our ‘51 Mondeo 2.0 (duratec he), with 179,000miles in a few days - Oil getting in spark plug wells.
Snapping one of the bolts is what I’m dreading, but I’ve said I’m going to do it (partner’s car) and she has already bought the gasket for me from ECP 😂😂😂 any tips to stop it ruining my day? 🤨😄 keep the vids coming mate anyway, great channel!
Thankyou so much for this great comment I love hearing from subscribers and just take your time with each bolt if it feels like it’s getting tight plenty of wd40 and gently and slowly work them back and forwards
Thanks mate.
Absolutely welcome
Your video is the most reassuring I have come acrisss on RUclips. Two of the bolts on my rocker cover are really corroded so I might have to take your advice on mole grip removal.
My question is: when you got the bolt out, the sleeve it sat in also came out of the bolt hole...how did you then replace the sleeve bit the bolt sits in, in the bolt hole in the engine block?
I hope that makes sense, just don't want to remove the bolt and sleeve to find the new bolt is loose in a wide open space as the sleeve it sat in is damaged/gone.
Thankyou for the kind words it’s nice to see my little channel helping people even if it’s just a little bit and regards your question on this vehicle in particular the sleeve is part of the new rocker cover and the reason the bolt has snapped is because it’s seized in the sleeve so you can go ahead and grip the sleeve and gradually spin the bolt out. Make sure the new cover has the sleeves already built in and then you can pretty much do what’s necessary to get the old one off the car :) hope this helps…you can add me on Instagram (TheVWMechanic) for dm responses :)
Thanks for the reply and info. New rockercover arrived and was exactly as you explained. Thank you!
Your absolutely welcome :)
I've got the exact same bolt problem in the exact same place. Although NOW I have the bilt not snapped off level to the base and the sleeve still stuck and won't budge!!! Any suggestions please, very good vid btw mate
@gtcmark6171 Thankyou for the kind comment matey and you’ll be able to drill old bolt out if needed and re tap
Hello great video but can I ask where did you get the Rocker cover replacement bolts from I'm struggling to find any for my zafira thanks
Hey les Thankyou for the comment and the kind feedback and the new rock cover I purchased came with the bolts already in
Just had same problem with 2 bolts right side am trying to see if you can replace the bolts in the rocker cover all this happened because of bent valve total strip down of the head to replace fix the problem
They aren’t the best at all are they and I’m sure you can replace em yeah just ensure there is a new sleeve in the rocker cover so your not crushing plastic
Great video. .
Does this engines vvt rattle on start up ?
My vectra does.
Thank you for the kind comment and this engine doesn’t rattle but couldn’t comment on all Vauxhall engines
took my zafira in for replacement head gasket how do i know that they have replaced it because there is still oil in my exspansion tank either that or they have not cleaned it out and just refilled with coolent
You will find it very difficult to know they have replaced it because of where the part is
If they have cleaned it out and have really done the gasket. Could be oil cooler if there's one fitted . There gaskets break up also letting oil into water coolant. But not sure what engine you got or had .😆
