I can't thank you enough for this video. This job took me 2 days as a hobby mechanic . Challenging was finding the torque wrench for left hand thread on the crankshaft. I ordered the dayco ktc1118 kit . this kit included the bolts ,except the oil pipe bolts and crankshaft flange.
If I could hit the like button ten times,I would.Thank you Bruno.The worst thing about this engine is that we don't know who designed it,so we can give him the credit he deserves.I also think that there is a kit with which you can even change rockers
Great Video !!!! I will answer you as a technician... I don't really like the chains not because they are free but for the dismantling that it requires!!! But hey for me it was a panda 4x4 cross!!! On the other hand, a chain on an Auris is the best, you have access to it as if it were a belt, no dismantling of the engine casing or anything else!!! the hardest part is putting the complete cover back with the paste!!!
Hello. I believe that is they knew that the chain would have such a short life, they would make it easier to service, like the 1.4 d4d. But all that glue and small orings on that Toyota engine is not great idea
Thanks for the great informations mate! I've Aveo/Sonic 1.3 diesel 95 hp. Basically same engine. I'm gonna replace my timing chain after 18.000 km. This video helped me a lot!
I'm sorry but I must point out one thing. Never lift this engine on the sump, it's super sensitive, slightest dent and it can couse a low oil preasure and that is super hard to locate since you can't spot the dent with your eyes, it needs to be meassured to be discovered. I did it myself and spent a lot of time after chainging the timing chain figuring out what was wrong, I only run it for a few minutes but that was enough to mess up the turbo. During my search for the problem I only found one single line about this on google, only one, some guy having the same issue and that was the reason. And I was very careful while lifting the engine, still this happened.
Hello. Thanks for the heads up. I am fully aware that. That's why I did it from the corner and only with the engine mount off. I did forgot to mention it. Also I did reform the bottom a bit before going back in. In a future video I will talk about that. Thank you
Really great video, I've got to do this on a 1.3cdti in a chevy aveo, this is the only video I can find on the subject as you can imagine there's not many chevy aveo enthusiast forums. It's got low oil pressure so I'm thinking there's some plastic guide parts blocking the pump as the timing chain is also due replacement. What bit do you use to remove the cam timing covers? Is it 8mm hex? I need something really low profile as there's less clearance on my configuration.
@@alfaromeonoproblemI’ve removed the pump now, and it looks okay, so does the timing chain and all the guides are intact. It’s a slightly different pump that doesn’t have variable flow but there was nothing blocking any channels. There seemed to be oil reaching all the right places as it drove quite a distance before getting to me with the low oil pressure light on, is there anything you can think of that would cause oil to not reach the pressure sensor properly? It’s had two sensors and I’ve tried a mechanical pressure gauge which reads zero so I’m quite confused what could be happening
Brilliant video, such detail and well edited. I’m curious as to know how suspended carbon particles can stretch a chain that was designed for a diesel. Fiat have been making engines for a very long time and should have known what chain was suitable. Do you think halving the oils change intervals is going to help much?
Hello. All modern engines suffer from this. They have to make lighter engines and engine components to meet emissions. That and too long intervals on services will kill any engine
Brilliant video! It's a joy watching you do the job properly! 👏 P.S: 43:12 I think the pads are not mounted properly, the outer ATE pad says "PISTON", which should be inside and not on the outside. Correct or I am imagining it? :D
Hello. How are you? Thank you very much for watching! You are correct, aldo the ware signal wire seems correct because it is on the inside pad. Maybe. A miss print or the signal wire is in fact on the out pad. Is not very critical on small brakes like this.
Great video .I just did my 05 corsa by watching this. All back together but now wont start. sounds like starter not turning engine but have seen the belt moving when turning the key. Have I left something disconnected ? Any help would be appreciated.
Hola excelente vídeo, tengo una fiat Fiorino tiene el mismo motor 1.3, se la quiero cambiar por km pero igual nose si sera el problema, le cuesta partir por las mañanas tiene las bujias incandescentes nuevas bateria nueva, motor de arranque le ismos mantenimiento, pero en las mañanas es un terror darle msrcha , le cuesta partir y aparte humea arto blanco pero solo en las mañanas algun consejo suyo lo agradecería 👋
Hola amigo. en mi caso quiero felicitar, exelente video. Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de hacerlo. amigo en mi caso tiene el mismo ruido pero solo es cuando ya a tomado temperatura. tengo 100. 000 kilometros. crees q este comenzando a fallar la distribucion. Gracias

Hello, very nice en useful video. My mito 1.3 always have a kind of raw start. It runs not nice and gives some blue smoke. It disapears after 5-10 sec. I already changed the glowplugs but it wasnt the problem. Can you help me? Thanks
hello, I follow you every time, what you do is perfect, I also have a doblo 1.3 mjet 84 hp and I suspect low oil pressure, now I don't know if that's the case, maybe you can help me. cold 3.5 bar at 34 degrees outside / when it warms up to 80-90 degrees, the engine at idle is about 1.2 bars and at 2000rpm it has 3 bars and at 3500 rpm it does not exceed 3.5 bars. is it ok? 
Great video. I am looking to buy Fiat Evo with this engine. Would you recomend it or should I avoid it? I see a lot of positive for this engine but I am not sure.
@@alfaromeonoproblem Thank you. I don't need speed demon haha just a good reliable engine. I had fiest 2002 1.4 16 and it was nightmare for me maybe I had bad luck. Thank you once again. Subscribed by the way :)
I have trouble understanding when you talk about reprogramming and carbon in oil!!! This happened on this car because it was power reprogrammed?? And the carbon in the oil happened because of the chain or is it because he used an oil with an additive (like liqui moly ceramic oils)??? If anyone could explain it to me!! THANKS
hi, maybe you can help me, I have a problem on the alfa romeo mito, the right dipped beam doesn't work, I changed the light bulb, are there separate fuses for dipped beam if you know? Thank
Hello. For the main bulbs normally there is a fuse for each bulb. Low beams, hi beams, fog lights. And more. When a bulb goes out it can take a fuse with it
Everything that is said by the comments true, best have see. Not done any work on engines for about 30 years but have changed Timing chain with all your help 😊
i do this on a corsa, if the timing plate is on the engine is siezing after a half turn, if the timing plate is off the engine spins freely and the timing marks on point after full engine rotation, what can be wrong?
So i have changed the timing chain, i was tested the timing without the timing shield plate with the oil pump “sprocket” on and the bolt is fastened at 50nm and 90 degrees as haynes pro said. The timing was correct after a full engine turn and i was ready to install the timing cover, installed and when the timing cover was bolted on and the crankshaft bolt is fastened again the angine seizing up after half turn and i cant figure out why. If the oil pump “sprocket” is not centered it can cause this issue?
@tamastarnai9295 hello. You must follow the steps exactly like the video. the engine went out of timing the minute you removed the sprocket to insert the timing cover. The timing is done and torqued with the cover only
I have driven 50,000 kilometers with my 15 year old FORD KA 1.3 TDCi 75hp diesel. Do I also need to have the timing chain replaced? BTW: The timing chain makes no noise
Hi, I've had my 1.3mjet for four years and every year the chain has started to rattle and I've had to replace the kit, is there any reason for this as I'm very fed up now, many thanks
@@alfaromeonoproblem many thanks, do you have a particular brand that you use? I've been fitting the FAI kits over hear in the UK, was told they are pretty good🤔
@@alfaromeonoproblem thank you, its normally the tensioner itself that is the problem, I only just noticed that they have a small hole in the back to let oil flow but in my opinion that's going to allow the oil pressure to leak off and put all of the effort on the tentioner spring, do you have a link please
Hello man, first of all congratulations for the quality of the work and the amazin contents you bring to the channel. I'm also doing a chain for a 1.3 multijet but when I put the block in the camshaft the block in the flywheel doesn't fit and is two teeth further forward. In this case should I remove the chain and move the camshaft or the lower one back? Thank's so much. Love from Italy

Thank you very much for the support and watching
Very detailed video and provides precise insight into what is involved when changing/servicing the timing chain on this particular engine. 👍
Thank you very much, appreciate it
At 17:30, what socket was used to undo the crank bolt?
Polydrive / RIBE sockets don't exist because the bolts are supposed to be tamperproof.
E18 torx bolt. You can find all kinds of ribe bits and sockets on your local workshop tool shop

Hello. This one not so much.. the tool kit was a bit expensive
Brilliant video, such detail and well edited.
I’m curious as to know how suspended carbon particles can stretch a chain that was designed for a diesel. Fiat have been making engines for a very long time and should have known what chain was suitable.
Do you think halving the oils change intervals is going to help much?
Hello. All modern engines suffer from this. They have to make lighter engines and engine components to meet emissions. That and too long intervals on services will kill any engine
@@alfaromeonoproblem Thank you. Any explanation on the reason why a slightly dinted sump might cause issues on the fiat engine please?
@paulas2610 yes. The oil pick up tubo bends and the seal near the oil pump lets air in.
Brilliant video! It's a joy watching you do the job properly! 👏
P.S: 43:12 I think the pads are not mounted properly, the outer ATE pad says "PISTON", which should be inside and not on the outside. Correct or I am imagining it? :D

Maybe. A miss print or the signal wire is in fact on the out pad. Is not very critical on small brakes like this.
Good video well done, where can I find all the torque settings for everything you tightened up ,regards

Can you turn the engine easily by hand?
I can turn the engine. At a loss as to what i did wrong? It does not even try to start@@alfaromeonoproblem
Thanks for the reply ..
@jasperdesi5089 but does it spin freely?
