Thanks Matthew. Much appreciated. I will have more BMW content soon as I know most people love them. Thank you for sticking around buddy, appreciate your time and always nice to hear from you🤝
You too mate, enjoy your time with family and friends. Looking forward to a bit of time off myself although I am working on the good news I have to share with you all😉😉😉🤝hopefully before the end of the year🤜🤛
10:38 Is that really the way you manage to remove that sprocket out? I noticed you cut the recording there. I'm in a similar issue with an 1.5 dci and afraid those 2 small bolts won't hold the pressure. I'm thinking o using a center screw with a plate to press that sprocket out.
@@crigeorge9549 I have done several renault engines after this one and didn't even have to use the sliding hammer. They came out by hand. They are machined with a small tolerance so there should be no trouble removing the crank sprocket🤝🏻
Hi My alternator fell off first, then it was the slight rattle but not too loud. I raised the van on the lift and with the engine running I saw the wabble of the crank pulley. Very very lucky I didn't lose the engine. Best of luck with your repair
No problem, I have a few more coming regarding how to change gearbox oil and how to change power steering pump and pump high pressure hose. Glad you found it helpful🤝
Can you tell me how I remove the camshaft pulley? Obviously if I put a spanner on the bolt and turn it just rotates. I can't find anything whereby you can lock it in place to undo the bolt
Be careful as there is a key on the camshaft that car brake if you force it. I will be doing a video on how to rebuild the whole engine and the removal of the camshaft will be in the video. Use an impact gun or make a tool to hold the cam sprocket and then use a spanner. Be careful not to damage the key as then you will need a new head
@@TheKeenMechanicI'm not forcing the cam sprocket just trying to undo the bolt that holds it. Problem is now I've accidentally moved the cam sprocket from where the timing marks line up. If they line up on the cam sprocket can it be one of two options.... exhaust and compression? Thanks
There should be some resistance when each piston is at compression stroke but you should be able to rotate the engine if there is no contact between valves and pistons.🤝🏻
@@TheKeenMechanic so it's normal for it to move freely ? It has no resistance, then I'll proceed with changing the hpfp, thanks and great video , really helped a lot
There is a locking pin that goes on the right side of the engine. It is an internal torx bolt between the oil filter and the clutch area. Hope this helps. You can also use an impact gun
Can I ask, how do youstop crankshaft from turning when tightening crankshaft pulley bolt! I can't torque mine up properly, the crank just keeps moving and springing even in gear!
Hi. You can insert the crank locking pin as shown but be careful as it can bend or snap. That's why I used an impact gun and marked the degrees with a paint marker. Just follow my video step by step🤝🏻
Thanks, just done cambelt myself, but can't torque up crankshaft pulley, it just whizzes lose again. My mechanic has an impact gun! 25nM then 120degs is what they give, and they say if they dont bottom out, you can reuse the strech bolt!@@TheKeenMechanic
In Renault Laguna and Clio you can shove a screwdriver into the flywheel teeth. Back of engine, right between the oil pan and gearbox housing. This will hold the crank in place when torquing.
Hi, if you are not taking the timing belt off then you don't need to lock the crank or cam. If you are only removing the crank pulley then you are safe and you don't need to lock the timing system🤝
@@michaelgaw6036 Be careful. You might have damage like me as it appears these pulleys get loose if not tightened correctly. Once they are loose they cause a lot of damage
Hi and thanks for your support. Van is 2006 and mileage is 158k miles. I will have loads more to upload. Few more jobs filmed but not edited yet. How to replace power steering pump, how to replace high pressure power steering line, how to replace gearbox oil and how to change alternator. 🤝
In my case it happened but it all depends how you tightened the bolt. If it has enough torque it might be ok. The thing is it happened so gradually that I didn't notice until it failed totally. I am normally very good at spotting funny noises but this one was not detected. Up to you to decide if you want to risk it and leave it as it is🤝
Good video but I would never reuse a timing belt. If I had gone that far I would have replaced the belt, tensioner, idler and water pump regardless of its age. Never take a chance with a part that could destroy the engine.
Hi and thanks for your comment. The timing belt kit including the WP were replaced less than 5k miles. Nothing wrong with reusing parts that you know they are in good order. Several years later no issues. I think these parts will last the lifetime of the vehicle as I only cover less than 3-4k a year. Thanks for watching and for sharing your opinion. 🤝
Great video clearly explained. All the best to you.
Thank you. Glad you like it🤝
Brilliant video mate as always keep smashing it🤝.

@@TheKeenMechanic Ok' I'l give it a try tomorow.
What were the symptoms of bad crankshaft pulley? Did you hear any noises or rattling about? How did you know it needed to be changed?
Hi

Can you tell me if you can put on a timing belt cover without removing the engine mount? Can it be pushed up from underneath?
You have to lower the engine buddy. Thanks
Thank you for sharing.
No problem, I have a few more coming regarding how to change gearbox oil and how to change power steering pump and pump high pressure hose. Glad you found it helpful🤝
By the way I have a Febi bilstein merch giveaway so have a look at my last video if interested🤜🤛

When the camshaft position is aligned does the engine spin easily back and forward or is there a resistance?
There should be some resistance when each piston is at compression stroke but you should be able to rotate the engine if there is no contact between valves and pistons.🤝🏻
@@TheKeenMechanic when the point on the camshaft meets the marking on the engine the engine moves freely back and forward with close to no resistance
@@Sloby-ie6zr Yes, that's normal.
@@TheKeenMechanic so it's normal for it to move freely ? It has no resistance, then I'll proceed with changing the hpfp, thanks and great video , really helped a lot
@@TheKeenMechanic someone made another mark on the camshaft pulley and it's 4 teeth ahead of the manufacturer mark point
How do you lock the crankshaft pulley in place before using torque wrench?

If changing crank pulley only do you need to lock the timing
Hi, if you are not taking the timing belt off then you don't need to lock the crank or cam. If you are only removing the crank pulley then you are safe and you don't need to lock the timing system🤝
@@TheKeenMechanic thanks mate the pulley has just went after a full t belt change etc a month ago so couldn’t be bothered with a full strip down .
@@michaelgaw6036 Be careful. You might have damage like me as it appears these pulleys get loose if not tightened correctly. Once they are loose they cause a lot of damage
@@TheKeenMechanic I’ve replaced everything else on it so I’m hoping it’s just the pulley I will have a good look at it before I replace
Best of luck. Make sure the new pulley fits tight into the crank sprocket, otherwise you will have to change it🤝
Very useful video thanks I’ve just subscribed. What year and mileage is the van out of interest?

Can the camshaft pulley bolt come loose the timing belt was changed but we used no locktite and the same bolt

I am normally very good at spotting funny noises but this one was not detected. Up to you to decide if you want to risk it and leave it as it is🤝
I'll probably get a new bolt and locktite and torque it properly thanks 👍
