Servicing is about the most important item in a car engines life, I have a Mondeo Titanium Est Purchased new in Dec 1010, and never ever missed an annual main dealer service in all that time. Some years the engine oil doesn't seem to have got dirty. It has now done 43k miles and as nice as the day it was purchased.
My 2005 diesel astra has just hit 330k. We've had it from new oil change every 6k still on original turbo and clutch😮 it just goes to show what proper maintenance can achieve.😊
Hi guys - it’s funny how I’ve been watching your videos for a number of years for purely the entertainment aspect of the channel - taking an interest in the transformations you achieve - as a complete novice ( at 60 ) lol you have inspired me to look at my own car differently and look after it better - keep up the good work !
I've got the Citroen van version for work 130bhp automatic, the oil change schedule is 20k miles or 2 years in the service book, I'll be dropping mine out at 10k or 12 months instead!
Hi Rob and Chris, Ive been fans of yours for a long time, I recently fractured my neck which has severe restrictions on movement so you guys are even more important, so a big thank you for all the videos
Rob, Chris. There is a bulletin about the DV5 1.5 diesel about the camshaft chain. It is possible to identify whether an engine has been modernized by inspecting the camshaft housing, which has a bulge and an engraved reference equal to 98 305 804 80. On the other hand, if the reference is 98 126 472 80 and the crankcase is flat, the engine is fitted with a 7 mm chain. Just incase you are replacing the crank. Might be worth checking to see if it has the 7mm chain. Good job lads.
We bought a VW Passat 2.0 new in 2004. It came with a 20,000 oil change interval. The local VW dealer (old-school, family-owned) said bring it in after 3,000 miles and change the oil/filter. We did, and kept to a 6,000 oil/filter regime. Yes, fully synthetic oil, but oil/filter change was a darn sight cheaper than engine failure!
It’s incredible how a few thousands of an inch of exceptional, abusive wear on the bearings can provide that knock !. Quite possibly made worse by the very high compression in a diesel engine. I’ve refurbished some engines, but those big end journals are the worst I’ve seen for such a young engine. Chris is right in that the oil pump, sump etc indicates zero maintenance on the thing, how that happened we can only guess. Regrinding the crank with over sized bearings would fix it, but the original bearings always last longer when looked after. I think I would go for a replacement engine as first choice, because all crankshaft bearings and cam shaft have suffered, albeit not yet failed. Nice work as always chaps !
My mums focus has 222k miles and drives like new still, oil and filter change every 6k miles, we always change it as it's cheaper than a new engine or car, we're tryna get it to 300k
I’m a PSA tech and yep, this is all too common. Engine looks well gummed up with the sump off. I’ve had a similar one on a 5008 with the same engine where it got caught in the nick of time, as the oil filter was caked in hardened oil and the filter was rock solid. Only has 11k on the clock too 😳. The oil change/service intervals are so so important on all the engines in all the French cars to be honest. Looks a half decent van minus the engine. Just lucky they’re not absolutely awful to work on 😂 nice one lads👌
@@imwilki 2023 5008 on 11k miles, the first year service interval is 6000 miles, then every 10,000 afterwards between minor and major services (as recommended rather than customer choice). When checking service history no service was carried out, so when removing the filter it was absolutely gummed with oil and the filter was soild😳
You may be the man to ask and hope you can confirm something for me please. Just about to service my Berlingo but keep getting told conflicting information on what oil it needs and exactly how much? It’s a 2022 Berlingo 1.5L Oh and is it a common issue for the horn to stop working? Had mine in twice now for a “software update” but that’s it stopped working again now
@@rsdelectricalengine oil is 0w30 and 5.3 litres is the tech spec for a DV5 1.5L diesel :) also yes it is, it’s the actual airbag/horn connector behind the airbag that’s at fault and should be under recall.
My citroen 1.6 diesel at 228 thousand miles, oil change every 6k.... Runs great.... Shame about the body but for £100 8 years ago.... Good car.... Wanted one of these, Rob and Chris.... Looks good
Hi Chris and Rob, Check the alternator belt tensioners as they can make the same knocking noises. Just remove the belt and start it up and see if the noise goes 👍
When crankshafts are reground they are supplied with undersize shell bearings not over size bearings. A 50mm diameter crank with metal ground off becomes undersized hence the term.
Hey guys another great video id be checking the top end as well and also the oil feed to the new turbo to be sure there is no small debris in there and damage up top from oil starvation keep up great videos
My dad had this years ago on an engine that was flooded - used fine grit sandpaper clamped on using the Rod and slowly smoothed it out by hand, probably alarm most people but it worked fine. This is another example of an owner not servicing their car properly. It's very simple - take the recommended Oil Change Mileage or Time, and halve them. Get the oil out before it and the filter starts to go and you won't have an issue. I have no sympathy for people who can't take even a passing interest in car maintenance, considering the amount of money that cars cost and how much we rely on them nowadays.
Great job done guys we can always rely on you both to come up with thing to do looking forward to seeing what your decision is keep up with all your great video 👏🏻🫶🏻
I've been messing about with engines and cars for 30 years, and I swear every time Chris opens his mouth, I learn something new - thanks for the info on why modern engines pin up off TDC, honestly never thought about it like that 🤓
Id like to thank Chris for wearing his special Black spandex full body long johns and safety belt when bent over inspecting that engine just after you pulled it out, if that was you Rob we might of had the full moon depending on how well the elastic is holding up in your joggers haha
@BikeGunCarGav: Agreed l wonder did it come off the ' Titanic ' & I laughed at Chris comments about Rob's Waffle.... & yeah he does sometimes waffle...on... pardon the pun 😲😲😁
Nice one chaps excellent job. This vehicle would certainly suit Rob for the source and the transport of large vehicle parts for new projects due to its large interior.
In the early 80s I remember when a van conversion to add windows was a good way of saving money on your road tax. Sadly, I think the DVLA got wind of folks doing this and that was when the 'PLG' classification turned up. Mate of mine's Dad did that to a Mini van.
Nice little job , just shows you no maintenance or very little abd this is the result oil and filter every 5 k and you’re good , great video can’t wait to see what you paid for it good luck guys 👍👍
If especially your vehicle it has a turbo, change the oil and filter by the 'severe service' intervals, like of 5,000 Miles or less, not the 'regular' of 10K or more, make sure use the right specification of oil and viscosity, maintain the proper coolant and oil levels. Of course, if go for a used engine, like from a wreck, you better make sure it had the oil changed regularly at or close to severe service levels from looking at the the service records before in person before accepting it. Sadly, too many 'used' engines are junk, abused or not serviced properly.
@@vernonmatthews181Most petrol engine have turbos now, yet the scamufacturers still claim ridiculously long oil change intervals. It's all to save them money when the car is under warranty.
Hi rob and Chris, good luck getting the new engine, Rob you should be wearing work boot's changing a engine lol new toes are hard to get. From marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless
Superb video Rob and Chris, there’s a lot to be understood from what you have exposed - doesn’t look like it ever had an oil change!! Next video will be good. That’s for sure! 😊
A lot of modern engines only have certain sizes in bearings so hopefully crank can be saved also be best to have the rods checked as believe or not the con rod housings may no longer be round
Hi Chris / Rob .. I'd have a look at the camshaft bearings before ordering new lower end shells and a crank re grind.. if the Oil is that dirty then the Camshaft bearings will probably be in a similar state as the big end .. Keep up the good work ... Hopefully Reclamet will have a low milage engine for ya .. Stay safe Oot There ...
I would try getting that crank polished first as it’s more than likely just bearing material stuck to the journel,take a measurement with a micrometer on a journel that hasn’t picked up and compare measurements between the two
These modern low displacement Diesel engines strangled with EGR as DPF, and boosted to the max, need extra care to last. Many people don't check the oil level, relying on the long service intervals. They also need to be refueled with a full tank, since they inject in the tank a charge of additive for the DPF. Which is expensive and hard to refill.
I think the condition of the sump clearly shows neglect and quite likely there is more unseen damage in the engine. A replacement engine maybe more expensive but is the better option. Good piece, though. Well done.
Think i would be replacing the lump. The top end is going to have suffered, as will the rings and liners. Nice little truck like that ruined by not servicing! Cost dear in the long run. Lets hope the new turbo hasn't been damaged by oil starvation too. Great video, Chris's expertise shining through on the one side and yours on the other. You to are such a formidable team.
Great stuff gentlemen, always interesting. And always a pleasure to see how you work so well together. Interesting point about newer engines being pinned with pistons halfway instead of one at TDC, seems like a good idea. Thank you so much.
Hi Rob and Chris, I did wonder what had happened to the chicken coop in the middle of the workshop... This is why we do regular oil changes...😉 Cordialement,
I've just changed the timing chain on my 1.4TSI Golf for the second time... this one - a genuine VW chain bought from Alan Day in Southgate - lasted just 40K miles ! It had stretched just under an inch. And... before anyone mentions the oil, it had new oil/filter every 3000 miles - Fuchs fully synthetic VW coded oil too. The quality of some of these genuine parts is truly appalling.
Just a word of advice and caution if you’re going to keep that engine I’d highly recommend you change the cam shafts/chain to the upgraded 8mm set from 7mm. Google dv5 cam chain problems and you’ll see. The 7mm chain and tensioner is weak and looking at the state of that oil you’re on a ticking time bomb.
Nice of your brother in law to help you out, although not sure about the name "Tart and Tyres" but I suppose if your sister is ok with it 😂😂😂. Just having a laugh, no disrespect intended, love the channel
Hello Rob & Chris, yet again a very interesting video, I am sure that the lady owner was really upset, especially just having taken the van out of the garage after spending so much on it!! Anyhow, now wait for the assessment of cost for the crank refurbishment, or a replacement engine?? Best wishes from Lincolnshire.

It wasn't that long ago when the Peugeot diesel engine was renowned as being the best in the world. How times change.
Depends if you don't do an oil change no engines going to last
The new diesels from Peugeot are junk even the well maintained ones bring back the old tds proper engines
i thought vw have the best diesel for reliability especially the 1.9tdi PD or ALH

There were so many people in my day that thought changing oil was a waste of money.. You just proved how wrong they were.
the oil grade was changed to 0W20 a few yrs back, to try + combat the damage the DPF + EGR does to the engine oil, they also increased the oil capacity, this was to make them survive between services... no service - no chance, turbo first, then the bottom end...
