Thank you. Glad you like it🤝

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🤝

@@TheKeenMechanic welcome mate I hope you and your family have a good Christmas.

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🤜🤛

@@TheKeenMechanic yeah will be enjoying the time off for sure lol. Nice one mate will be keeping an eye out for it keep it easy buddy🤝.

Speak soon mate.🤜🤛

Thanks. Glad you liked it🤝🏻

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🤝

By the way I have a Febi bilstein merch giveaway so have a look at my last video if interested🤜🤛

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

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. 🤝

@@TheKeenMechanic Ok good stuff, I’ve just bought a 2014 LWB Primastar with 150k, I’ll look forward to your content, good luck with the channel 👍

@@joecraven2712 Thanks Buddy. Thanks for watching and subscribing and glad to be able to help with what I can🤝

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.

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🤝

I'll probably get a new bolt and locktite and torque it properly 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 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

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. 🤝

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🤝

Thanks as always🤝

Thanks for your comment although don't fully understand the 1st part of the sentence🤔
