Hi Amber, I’m glad your car has been sorted out i’ve just received my Cambelt complete kit to install myself wish me luck ❤❤

Thank you. My Dad did their Abarth himself too, he was a little scared but it all went well! Good luck doing yours also!

We have a simple rule in our house after a bunch of cambelt issues…..chain driven cams only!

@Driven247 3 ай бұрын

Ha ha! Good rule!

@RUBIODJUK 3 ай бұрын

Chains are usually far more problematic than belts.

@pedrocunha7157 3 ай бұрын

The rule in my house is no chain driven, at least for now 😂 had a chain snap on me with no warnings at all… always kept on top of fluid levels and it literally snapped at 70K miles… BMW 1 series…

Glad your cars sorted now. I had the cam belt kit changed on my abarth. It takes 3-4 hours to fit. I also had rallyflapz mud flaps fitted at the same time and got the car back that afternoon.

Oh, flaps, I still wanna look into them…thanks for watching George!

Hi Amber :) Glad it's all sorted now! Btw I commented on one of your C200 videos ages ago asking about it. Well about 2 weeks ago I bought one really nice 2000 one on only 49k! Loving it so far, beautiful drive and I haven't even really pushed it it's such a nice relaxing drive 👌

Thanks Aaron. Oh I miss mine, mine was very tidy indeed and when it drives, it floats like a boat, so comfy! Enjoy yours!

@@Driven247 Mines similar, extremely good condition, last owner just had both sills and rear welded so it's absolutely solid as a rock too! It's a classic (not selection). Doesn't have many options to be honest but that's what I wanted. I always went for very high spec cars and I've had so many issues I've just wanted something simple! Although I only realised there's no heated seats on the way home (my first car EVER without them😭) cheers :)👍

@pedrocunha7157 3 ай бұрын

Well done for keeping on top of the levels… that’s something I check every 2 or 3 days too, takes a couple minutes and can save you a big bill… glad you got it sorted though 😄👍

Thanks Pedro, remember when I had one of my brand new Abarth’s once, my Dad asked if I had checked the oil, I hadn’t and it had drunk it being a brand new engine, luckily I caught it in time I guess, topped it up and made sure I checked it from then! You learn from mistakes for sure! Thanks for watching.

Regardless of whether a warranty has expired a repair done inside the warranty period will usually carry its own guarantee for parts and lsbour for 12 months. Think this video was way too long to basically say you had a coolant leak possibly a faulty pump. More likely it was fitted incorrectly or without a seal. Lucky they never stipped the bolt holes....now that would be what I call a big job.

@Driven247 3 ай бұрын

Fair point about the parts warranty. Video being long was because I wanted to tell the whole story, not miss any bits out, plus I can be extra chatty on camera sometimes, hoping it’s not too much of an issue…but thanks for watching!
