I hope everything went well!

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.

No problem! be sure it isn't the head gasket. these engine are prone to be leaking oil from the head gasket ad the front of the engine.

@@TheDutchGarage leaking in the engine right side , under the timing belt ... but I'm gonna make sure there is no other leaking ☺ Thanks allot

Hi! If i can give you a bit of advice. Do a timing belt change. They are really good for views. And thank as always.

Thanks for the advice.

Great to hear, just be sure to keep the manual at hand.

Will do!

Great to hear, good luck!

The Haynes manual that I had bought did not include this engine. On the internet there is almost no info at all about this engine no torque specs nothing. But your right it is allot of engine up engine down to be able to remove/install it. Thank you for your comment I really appreciate that!

@@TheDutchGarage your right hardly any info at all out there on this engine!! I also had the peugeot official workshop manual which had some form of frame contraption to raise and lower the engine via attaching to the anti torque bar to do the timing belt! So at first I thought there was no chance to do a diy timing belt on the 1.4L 207 without compromising my safety. It was a garage or nothing. The 207 Haynes manual 2006 to july 2009 does have the 1.4 L ET3J4 KFU engine under Chapter 2 Part A: non vti petrol engines with torque settings. I know many call it the 'book of lies' but at least it gave me hope I could do the timing on my own. It recommends a trolley jack, drill bits etc...But it simply states 'undo bolts and remove cover'!!! When it comes to the almost impossible part of accessing the t50 bolts and getting the metal covers off. I had real nightmares i was going to bust the air conditioning pipes or what not using the trolley Jack, gingerly raising and lowering by fractions, but you can raise and lower the engine till it almost touches the raised bonnet, or lower it almost to the ground with no problems with the left engine mount off, to gain much needed access. I managed to round a few bolts using multipoint sockets instead of hex to undo them, but few headaches other than having to redo the entire timing job after I finally put the car together after a long day and ran the engine in trumph, my heart sank when I noticed oil leaking down the inside of the timing cover due to the new unbranded ptfe dephazer cam oil seal leaking. I bought a proper replacement corteco branded set with the plastic drifts which somehow way more than doubles the price, but managed to seat them in properly this time. Access is almost impossible to hammer the dephaser seal in, so a tip is to unclip the coolant header tank which is suprisingly easy to give you room to move. I love your videos and your style, you lay it all out and its a great journey to see the car fixed and working at the end. I used your last 207 one to figure out where my oil plug is and how to take out and clean the vvt soleniod which was gunked up!

@@SlobberySlob Well the oil leakage isn't gone with this car. So my best bet is that the head gasket if just gone. I wanted to change the head gasket when I did the timing belt but I decided not to do it at te last moment. Nou i'm regretting that of course. So I probably will make a other video about this car. Thank you for your kind words! also I hope I can find a good manual before removing the head if i'm going to do that.

@@TheDutchGarage The head gasket is not too bad a job on this car (if the words 'not too bad' and replacing a head gasket can ever go together!) The classic head gasket failure on this car is a oil leak on the front corner of the engine. You don't normally need to get the engine milled flat with just a oil leak as long as it's not overheated. (You can use a straight edge to test) I found the Haynes manual was the best help when I did it. But it's totally doable now you have the timing cover removal mastered, if not a lot more time and work. Could also look over engine parts and see what damage and wear it's suffered due to no oil changes. You do also need a piece of old timing belt to lock the cams when undoing them and tightening, its the same locking procedure with drillbits but you must lock the flywheel this time with a small allen key. It takes a while removing all the stuff from the head, but fairly straight forward otherwise. Cleaning the head...I used wd40 and a copper scraper, which took hours but very interesting to see fordtechmanuloco and his method which works in minutes with 3M drill brushes! There are NO videos on doing a head gasket on this car.

@@SlobberySlob Thanks for your advice, do you know the torque specs of the head bolts?

Thank you.

Thank you, glad it helps you out.

Thanks! It is a dirty job sometimes.

Thank you, and thanks for the input it's always welcome!

@@TheDutchGarage why is the coolant tank so dirty? Is your car drinking coolant or had a head gasket job done?

No problem!

@@TheDutchGarage hi. What happens if you change the head gasket and reuse the old timing belt?

Dank! Doet me goed.

Thanks!

Sorry don't remember anymore. but something like that indeed. Thanks for the compliments.

Thank you.

Thank you, but no I never had to do that.

I once did of on my Kfu engine, the tools i needed to buy were deep socket size 10 and a bunch of really long 1/4 inch extensions. You Will need them for the middle bolts in the intake manifold. If you have the right tools the procedure is really straight forward.

@@barrydebeunhaas Thanks for the extra info!

That the belt markings don't line up after 4 rotations is normal. You have to check the markings on the gears if they are aligned.

Sorry don't know it anymore.

No problem man. Thx for the very helpfull Video 👍🏻👍🏻

Dank!, zelf heb ik geen garage. Het is voor mij een hobby. Je kan naar mijngarage.nl gaan om daar direct te kijken wat een reparatie kost voor jou auto. Wel even kijken als ze ook de waterpomp vervangen dat is nog wel eens een dingetje.

@@TheDutchGarage bedankt voor je reply! Jammer dat je dit alleen hobbymatig doet. Ik denk dat ik het toch moet uitbesteden aangezien ik geen oprit of garage heb.

Go with your own numbers. I do think I used the torque specs that came with the timing kit. But I'm not sure.

@@TheDutchGarage i see thanks for the answer!

I don't know someone with a car like that.

Hallo, hij schijnt idd achter hij de oliefilter te zitten. Maar hoe en wat geen idee.

@@TheDutchGarage hey, merci voor je antwoord! Ik heb het ondertussen gevonden ;-). er was nog een derde gat een tikje hoger. Daar lukte het wel. Succes met je video's!

This happens when you start and stop the car. The drive train wants to go into rest and most of the time they go backwards a bit due to the valve springs. And that trows of the pointer. It is in portent when you turn the engine by hand the pointer stays in the same place.

@@TheDutchGarage actually the pointer moved with the engine warm already , didnt notice any movement while starting or cutting the engine but ye , the pointer was on the mark while i was rotating the engine by hand ... Yesterday when i woke up i checked the tensioner and it was on the mark so i think thats just normal

@@Danidasanic I say,. Job wel done!👍

You definitely don't have to replace the oil seals. But this is a good time to change them if they are leaking.

yes you can

Hij loopt niet helemaal leeg maar je mist zeker een paar liter. Dus altijd bijvullen en ontluchten.

Hallo, als ze verkeerd zouden staan krijg je de pinnen er niet in.

@@TheDutchGarage Kun je me even mailen, dan kan ik even een foto toevoegen om te laten zien wat ik bedoel. ArienAPENSTAARTJEvanleusden.info

Hey! good job! I do see that happen in some cases. You can retention it without to much of a hassle if you really want to. This has to do with seating and stretching of the belt.

@@TheDutchGarage thanks mate, i think when pointer is lower than mark the more tensioned the belt is. I have to remove the mounting bracket again to access.

@@FordistM If zo that should not be a to big of a deal for you. You just replaced a head gasket! I'm to chicken to do that with this car. It is just not a healthy engine anymore and think that I will make thing worse than better.

I dont know for sure anymore.

The change is very high that the head gasket is leaking. How more you remove the easier it is to see te leak.

@@TheDutchGarage thanks for your reply. I will remove the items and belt but then I cannot start the engine then to check the leak if it is on the pressure side.

@@FordistM That is true, maybe the best thing is to clean the engine bay and after a while you can see were the engine starts leaking.

@@TheDutchGarage hi again, dismantled the timing belt and found that the head gasket was faulty causing the oil leak on the left corner. Thanks for your guide video!

@@FordistM That sucks, good luck with replacing.

That's a hard one, normally i would say heat but it don't think it is a good idea in this case. Get yourself a puller.

@@TheDutchGarage Thanks for your reply Dutch Garage, yes i thought about a bit of heat, but concluded not a good idea in in these circumstances, eventually after lots of WD40 i used 2 stout screwdrivers very carefully and suddenly the dam thing came off ! with no damage at all ! the rear timing belt cover intact, like you said in your video, the bolts to the camshaft sprockets so very tight, very good video btw, very clear and well explained, nice not to suffer blaring music as well, many thanks for replying, onward with getting the bent valves out now, !

Thanks for the tip! Always appreciated.

@@TheDutchGarage and also on the tensiner is a little hole you pull it backand pop a split pin then the belt slips off and on easy hope this helps

If it has the KFU engine then yes.

@@TheDutchGarage Aghh never mind I think mine has a NFS in it.

Hallo, the first thing i would look at is the idle controle valve. Try to clean it with a carbon cleaner.

@@TheDutchGarageunfortunately this engine ICV does not exist

@@boyunique A ok, i'm not a expert on these engines. I do know that they suffer from head gasket failure maybe you have to look into that. But it also can be a bad temperature sensor. Also have al look at the throttle body and give it a good clean.

@@TheDutchGarage thank u for ur answer. İ will check it parts Best regards

You are probably right, after Imade this video I talkt with some mechanics and they said the same.
