Know you know Baz, and we all do it, but for those watching, consider some specs when drilling above head height, a trip to A&E to get swarf out your eye is even less fun than for stitches, ask me how I know 😂

Your garage should sub contract from the local Ford Main Dealers jobs like this. As you do them on a regular basis you are becoming an expert on them.

Had a bimmer in today for work - I've serviced a lot of cars, never seen an oil filter coated with a solid, toffee consistency layer of hardened oil, 5mm thick, all over the filter. Took a screwdriver to dig down into it to get to even see the filter paper. Zero oil was passing through that filter. Nada. Dropped the "oil" & it was the consistency of tapioca. All 3 liters of it. Going by the drain plug, the filter housing & just general nouse, I reckon that this car had never had an oil change since new. 140k km on the clock. Service book all stamped up to date nice & purty... Brakes were in no better state. A lot of garages out there pulling peoples plums IMO, Baz - they get the bills, but not the work done. You will know this yourself.

Baz great video and presentation, you’ve blown us all away with your quality services, just wish people do proper maintenance on their eco boost engines ,💪❤️

Great job Baz, about time we saw one that needed doing😁. Camshafts and lifters all good confirmed by the Singer Standard Aural Test, sometimes we use a mouse's heartbeat as a reference when the sewing machine is out for calibration😆😆. And the oil pressure light went out instantly, good call on the new pump. Your customer just got away with that!

its funny,all the times ive worked on my vehicles ive removed the negative cable from the battery,i never thought of just taking off the earth cable off the firewall..much easier to do,thanks,learn something new every day..

Excellent job, Baz. That must have taken you most of the day? Thanks for sharing.

Well saved Baz.Awesome job as usual.That,ll be the last bit of love that car will get.

CRACKING JOB THERE BAZ YOU LOOK BETTER WITH YOUR GLASSES ON I HEARD WET BELTS ON FORD ARE A NIGHT MARE MATE HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD WEEKEND ON YOUR BIKE 🏍 😀

26c in that garage according to the readout on the speedo, nice cold beer to add to your checklist when you're done!

Very impressive Baz superb job, purrs like a kitten 🐈‍⬛ kind regards and take care ol chap 👍

I think the extended service intervals of 18000 miles between oil changes does not help with the wet belts. I use the Ford labelled Castrol 5w20 every 12 months and I am only doing between 4000 - 5000 miles a year but mainly short journeys. Hopefully this will delay the inevitable failure as long as possible.

Excellent work on that ecoboost. The quality of your work is epic .Highest standards possible. Love your vlogs .Keep them coming

Great save Baz, loving the time lapse, just wondering if you've thought about a mic, as sometimes when you put the camera down and explain things its difficult to hear you. Keep up the good work mate🤙

Smashed it Baz well saved keep it up lad enjoy watching ur content 👌🏻🔥😎🤝

Saved another one. Baz, in a situation like this will you be having a friendly word with the owner about maybe changing the oil a little more frequently or do you not bother?

Super knowledge you have on these engines. I am at the moment stripping one down due to the piston skirt snapping off of the bottom of piston 1, and hopefully changing the belts on a 14 plate. Has full service history and other than the skirt problem it is clean as a whistle with no belt debris to be seen. Anyone had the same problems with a skirt snapping?

Good save Baz, that was proper blocked, loving the time lapse, we get to see you taking things off, although we do like a little bit of magic when it puts itself back together, also just wandering if you though about a mic as sometimes when you put your camera down and you explain things its sometimes difficult to hear. Keep up the good work mate 🤙

Great description of what looks to be a difficult job. It looks like you go the extra mile in cleaning out all filters, advising the customer and replacing all parts whilst you’re in there. I wonder how many other garages would do that?

Baz, there's also a mesh strainer in the "Oil Pressure Control Solenoid" that can block with wet belt debris. This solenoid is on the rear of the engine block, beside the plug where the crank timing pin screws in. There's a Dayco instruction video on KZfaq "Garage Wire" Channel showing this solenoid being removed to check and clean the mesh strainer.

Great job as always. How much of that sludge and old belt is still in the oil gallery though🤔

Brilliant Baz shamefull waste of an engine at 62k if for the scrappie, commented on the ford focus wet belt change regarding my own experiences. Keep the vis comming!!!

Great job mate 👍🏻

definitely never been serviced you would not get all that filth if it had ,thanks for the video.

Absolutely love this channel mate 👍

It would be interesting to see the service history on this vehicle.

If it has a FSH Ford are now covering all costs regarding wet belt issues

Ive been watching all of your ecoboost timing belt videos. Great job mate, thanks a lot. Im considering doing the job myself to be honest, feeling quiet confident after watching the videos. Keep up the great work. Just wanted to ask, where i could get the repair manual from for me to have the step by step guide and torque values etc. And what part number does the torque converter have you use on the crank pulley? Is it advisable to change the oil and water pump while already there? My car has about 150k KM on it. Or any other parts while already getting everything off?

Baz weren't you tempted to remove a mains or big end cap to inspect the shell bearing's. I would of thought by doing this you would know if it was worth proceeding with the job.

Well done mate 👏 saved it 👌

He’s never changed the oil for sure

Very good video.

Nem kell megvárni míg kigyullad a lámpa, endoskop kamerával a kieresztőlyukon keresztül meg lehet az olaj csere alkalmával nézni a szűrőt és ha fel vette a koszt, akkor szíjat kell cserélni

I love these videos. Just bought one of these fiestas. Where are you located baz and how much would you charge for parts and labour to do the wetbelt? Thanks.

Great job 👍

Top job as always. I realise the camshafts are the last place to get oil hence the decision that if the cams are unmarked the engine is probably ok. Did you consider removing a big end to check bearing condition as they are the last place in the main bearing / big end line of oil flow? Clearly with the light going out so quickly all is well but interested in your perspective.

Worse one I done was 95k blocked up strainer and 5 teeth missing from cambelt

Where in Wales's are you baz great video

Did the £Bill write off the car's value? I will NEVER buy a wet belt FORD ...

Safety squint in use when drilling that stud I see 😂

I have a fiesta 1.0L ecoboost. It is about 10 years old and has done just over 73k miles. It has never had a wet belt replacement but it has also been properly looked after. All services done on time, only ever taken directly to Ford for servicing. Only ever had the officially recommended oil used on it. Even for small things such as new heat shields, the work has been done only at Ford garages. What are the chances my belt is bad? I could not afford to get a replacement but that also means I couldn't afford to repair if it is bad enough to go 'boom'...

Another great video....how do those filters come out of the oil pump for cleaning?

Just found you channel and i feel like I'm already a wet belt expert 😂 one question what's up with the accent and the the steering wheel on the wrong side though 🤔🤔🤣🤣 on a serious note why would you get rid of a dry timing belt??? Ford WTH falling apart at 60k

Great video as usual, what make of torque multiplier do you use, regards Andy

Baz.. Would it be possible to use the endoscope to look at the oil pickup mesh through the sump drain?

Wet belt king again. 😂

Hate the heat

Baz, in your last wet belt video and this one too, you took off the vacuum pump to clean out the filter which was also full of belt material. Assuming removing that is a much easier job than dropping the oil pan, is the vacuum pump filter state a reliable indicator of belt health?

Wet belt is the worst design. Ford dropped a clanger there. Great job saving another economy boost.

I don't know if its such a popular thing these days but you almost wonder if its been wound back at some point in its life before being sold and it has done more like 90K. That is bad. I've yet to work on one of these but might keep my eye for a "spares and repairs" that needs some work. I've seen that many of these done on YT by now.

Nice job!!!! How much does it cost???

I have a 2013 Fiesta Econetic, is there anyway to checking if the wetbelt has been changed, bought at 95k. It's now on 120k. It's had services every 10-12k miles, so I'm hoping it can make 150k miles. Is 150k possible on the original wetbelt

Hi baz y do you put oil over the cams before you put the cover back on i was always told this wen i was a lad i am a old x mechanic now well done mate 😂😂

Boss, where r u located and how much you charge to do timing belt on these 1.0 ecoboost engine???

How do I contact your garage by phone ??

Good news for customers though, all those with vehicles under 10 years old, under 150k and have FSH from any independant garage get this done under goodwill from now on by ford

OH&S thrown out the garage door?, no eye protection when drilling, looking up. Wait till you get corneal abrasion and a rust ring.

What is the miles of that car? I don't see many 1.0 eco boosts in the UK. Ford engine goes badly later than 2012 models. Who the heck designed a rubber belt soaked in oil?

saved!

Have ford not now given an extra warranty on these engines because it definitely the way to lose customers if they don't do

Just subbing to the channel looks interesting , I don't want to tell you how to suck eggs but please wear. Eye defenders when drilling , could save you a very painful eye injury , I've been there 👍🧑‍🔧

Looks like you could do these eco booms in your sleep.

👍

I also cannot stand the heat, which is why my 2006 Audi has had a new AC compressor and condenser. I love the cold! Like you say, you can put a coat on. When its hot, I have to wear wet T-shits or im on the verge of passing out.

Give me a mark one fiesta or two or three or four not this engine what a nightmare I’m glad I’m old engines were simple to work on poxy wet belt lol

that oil pick up wos bad the worst iv seen

First 😮

What is wrong with a chain. Rubber belts suck.

Hi Baz, great program & informative but lacking in health & safety, plus for "me" far to many roonies, its so repetitive & annoying. sorry.

Call me thick but why is there not a chain instead of a rubber belt? Shocking that ford have left the customers out in the cold

Everything about this engine design is ridiculous.

Those engines sound terrible

Another owner who didnt know how to look after their car.

baz these wet belts are terrible and why is the motor trade doing nothing about them
