Had one, gave it to a family member as a gift. 0 engine and corrosion trouble for 12 years! Two issues: wire got loose in the steering column that stopped the ignition from working and a window fell of its track. For 12 years I’d say it’s a pretty good deal.

Just fitted an INA timing kit on my missus 2.0 hdi engine yesterday, similar crank locking hole and procedure and a plastic impellor I don't mind using the plastic ones if it's from a reputable company. Keep safe in all this madness Dave and keep up the good work!

Just done mine citreon c3 mk1 1.4 2005. Was on the original timing belt. It had only done 48000 miles. In 18 years.

It reminds me of my old 206, I used a L shaped Allen key in the crank. Thanks for sharing.

A great 'step by step' disassembly and reassembly video. Helped me decide whether to tackle the same job or not....I chose not to! Thanks so much....

Ottimo lavoro Molto chiaro

Great video thanks, it is very very helpful.

Nice instructions how to do it love the Irish accent 👍

You know what buddy im so glad you went over how important it is to make sure to lock both the camshaft and the flywheel when changing the timing belt! Im currently in the process of re timing the C2 1.1 2006 and upon locking the camshaft I was not able to lock the flywheel so I just made a mark and went off this put everything back on and now the engine is running rough and a slight tapping noise so clearly the crankshaft is not lined up correctly. Thanks for the video I will be making sure to lock both up to know 100% the job is spot on.

Nice one mate, is a good video.

Handy video, I’ve got one with a snapped belt to repair, got the crank locked with a homemade pin like yourself, theres a notch on the crank sprocket but it doesn’t line up with anything with the flywheel pin in its at about 5oclock🤷‍♂️ I used to be sceptical about plastic impellers on water pumps after seeing a lot of vw ones spinning on the shaft, but not had any problems with any I’ve fitted over the years 🤞👍

Thanks for this video

What's the easiest way to check if the belt was changed? Thanks

Hi my timing belt slipped which knocked my timing out So which would I pin first would it be the flywheel or the camshaft shaft pulley

Thanks my friend for the informativ tutorial. I have a question, i changed my waterpump like you describe everything, and to be exactly proof i marked the timing belt; I aligned the spanner pointer in between the position marking. Now my question: When i rotate the spinning wheel 4 rounds and set the ot points everything is alright like it has to be (spannerpointing is same). When i rotate the spinning wheel 2 rounds the spannerpointing is a bit more tensioned.. Is it normal? Or do i have a fail setting?? Can you please help me ?

The belt is not a automatic tension right? manuel

Plastic impeller for me Dave (for the same reasons as you describe) I do mostly VAG stuff and always try to use genuine pumps where possible.

Nice work there Dave, I've made the same flywheel holder tool for the Mini Cooper S but that's a lot easier to get too than what you where working on... 😂😂😂

How do you line the camshaft and crankshaft gears if you don't have any markers? My Tu3a engine is misfiring

Good wee video m8 thanks 4maken was scratchn head were was crankshaft lockn pin hole was good job

Thanx for takin the time Dave. I know filming all the details sure as hell doesn't speed things up. That tip you gave @ 8:26....experience or mentor? Cause I don't think you got that from in a book!

Dave I'm a bit off topic on this one but when or have you done a timing chain replacement on a VW 1.4tsi engine?

that gates belt would have done another 20 thousand... 💯👍

Be warned the top larger bolt holding on the water can and did wring off on me Thankfully water pump is a separate housing, but time increases greatly. Mine was an older car

Would you recommend the c3? Looking to buy my first car, and I've been told to stay away from Citroen

The most importent part is not on video ☹️

Didnt shov anything sudenly the belt vas on nothing about tension or marking

Just buy c3 2004 year very important too change belt I bought second hand car

Too much complicate! italian motor best!

Intro is annoying

Your teaching is very poor only the top timing crankshaft you didn't show it the position

Hard to understand with your accent.
