How to change timing kit, MultiJet and JTD 16V and 20V engines. How to check sync. between cams

Hello guys! Here is my way of replacing, adjusting and checking timing on these engines. This video will cover the 1.6 16V MJet, 1.9 16v MJet or JTD, 2.0 Mjet 16V and even the 2.4 20V Mjet or JTD engine.
This makes my list of timing belt and chain videos, which is here a little further down in the description, much more complete.
It's an easy timing to do, in fact, but it's also easy for it to be poorly synchronized and out of place. So, if one cam is out, both are out!

very often when we have one tooth misalignment there is only one problem with though cold start and p0340. No more symptoms. I used to possess ar 147 with 1.9 16v jtd cf3 engine, and my mechanic changed timing belt system without using blocking tools ( they just made white dots) and every singe winter there was a problem with p0340 error and heavy cold start. Every single mechanic is maintaining that engine should not generate full power or smoking more than usual. It is not true. Remember always use block tools. Now i posses 159 with 8v engine. I am watching your channel since you've started recording. thx.

Dear Bruno Thank you so much for this video which clearly illustrates your extensive knowledge and experience! I have just changed my cambelt and auxiliary belt thanks to you on my 2016 Giulietta 2.0 JTDM 170BHP UK spec. I also changed the waterpump as recommended I would like to change and flush the antifreeze/coolant but I cannot see any drain plug at the bottom of the radiator? I presume that I need to cut off the "one use" hoseclip on the bottom hose with a dremel tool (its difficult to access) and then drain and refit hose with conventional hoseclip. Maybe not difficult but it is with poor access. Please do you have any better suggestions? Thank you Jonathan

Bruno, one issue with your Chanel might be, that your videos are hard to find via YT or Google search function. I tried it several times with „Alfa Repair“, „Alfa Tutorials“, and many other words and combinations. Maybe, this is one of the issues you have? Maybe also use the „Shorts“ to give 60 second help. Maybe trie to work together with other KZfaqrs! Your repair instructions are so helpful for me. Not all of them are linked for my car, but always giving hints, for potential issues. Don’t give up 👍

@alfaromeonoproblem 5 ай бұрын

Hello. You are correct, and not the only one with that complaint. I give s a lot of effort to to titles and descriptions that have those words. But it seems that as I have low views, other channels are preferable to KZfaq. General search words do not work. But I know the specific ones do. Try: "how to replace..." In the meantime I already told KZfaq my concerns and that issue too.

Wow I watched a few videos about the timing belt change out of curiousity before and never seen that whole adjustment process, very interesting! Why did the customer decline Paraflu UP? Surely not because of price, I bought 4L of it for 34€ on blackfriday in preparation for a service when it's a bit warmer in spring How often should you change these parts, mine was supposedly done about 3 years ago, i think about 60kkm ago, but don't know if i trust the seller anymore from all issues i've uncovered on the car hehe

@alfaromeonoproblem Saving what, not even half a tank diesel worth, to get the correct coolant seems like an interesting decision to me. I get all my deals on autodoc, if you keep stuff in your cart and check price daily, you can get some pretty great deals, I managed to snag a valeo clutch kit with release bearing for 220€ for the 1.9 16v, day before was 290 and day after 270 haha Good to hear, so they still should have some life left, i will be changing the belts in summer of '25 then :)

Today my crankshaft pulley snapped from the rubber and the auxiliary belt came off and went in the timing belt and snapped the timing belt luckily it was on an idle, do you think the valves are bent or the valve followers are broken? 159 only 70,000 miles I never seen such a bad engineering point Alfa should have put a cover to stop the auxiliary belt getting in the timing belt like all German cars have
