Hi
So, first of all, yes, another one that has been bogged... and multiple times!
This came to me with the complaint that was difficult to start, and would stall, this with everything connected... disconnecting one of the VTi solenoids, would make the car to run ok(ish), but obviously with the engine line on...
Solenoid was not actually just disconnected, well, all in the video...
Follow me on this video to find out what was the problem and how to resolve it.
Hope you enjoy the video.
Any questions or comments please put them below.
Like always, thank you for watching!

Hi there. I don’t usually post comments anywhere, but come on Luis, whoever worked on the Peugeot was a complete ‘idiot’. I watch your videos and think you are very fair with your criticism of previous mechanics. I wish I was as fair. Keep up the good work etc. Ted Lewis.

Good morning Luis. Excellent diagnosis, repair and honesty. Poor car engine replacement history and lazy workmanship contributing to the overall growing repair costs. I hope the person who wrongly fitted the cam dephasers has an opportunity to carefully look at this video and learn from this mistake and perhaps offer the car owner a partial refund. Keep up the good work. 😊

Partial refund.. not.. But I really don't understand the owner or the garage. Why go to someone other than the garage or mechanic that fitted the engine.?

That was a idiotic mistake from a so-called mechanic. Don't get me wrong. The temperature sensor does give hard start issues and you where 100% right to first fix that. I am the first to admit that mistakes can be made. Especially by those of us who work on different brands but working on timing related parts should have ones attention focused. You did a great job as always Luis. It takes hobbyists to screw things up and real mechanics to fix it. Well done. And your "bashing". When you see the footage of the work that others have done it would be abnormal if you wouldn't mention something. I understand your position but some cases are too frustrating .

good morning Luis cracking job there if the same person that fitted the cam adjusters fitted the engine what else needs fixing and they should have known something was amiss when they tried starting it probably temp sensor made it hard to start cold my first thought when you first jumped in the temp gauge was up near the red but they went for the phasers and then built in a world of hurt i think miss piggy kermit and fozzy bear would have done better

So we can deduce the likely story in that engine was bought from a car that was scrapped because someone changed the pullies but messed it up and it never ran correctly again. Scrapyard then sold the engine as good as it started and didn't knock, must be good eh. Some people should not be allowed to weild a spanner, imbeciles. Love the videos.

All I can say is WOW. Not seen a clown do something like that. Obvious there's a reason why the dephasers are marked for inlet and exhaust. Anyway, plenty of scope for idiot tax. Btw, was that other coolant sensor a thermostat heater? Couldn't quite see. Good job anyway.
