@charliehall6565 Жыл бұрын

Love your content mate, love the fact you give anything a go. I rebuilt my girlfriends MGTF engine recently and it made a similar top end noise for the first half an hour of running. I left it to idle and once it had warmed up and the oil had circulated, the noise was completely gone. These 1.0 engines make make a slight tap anyway on the top end. Mostly due to the common rail gasoline injectors on these engines. I would put some more fresh fuel in and leave it to idle for a while. Obviously keep a close eye on it. You may find it'll sound better after a while. As for the misfire, the ECU may not pick up the misfire straight away, it may well do after idling for a while. Hopefully that will be because of the bad fuel. Remember the bad fuel will take moment to clear through the lines and filter first so eliminate that too ☺️ good luck

@MendItModIt Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the info dude. Someone at work suggested it could have hydraulic tappets and they needed to fill with oil but unfortunately they aren’t on these engines. It does run better each time I start it so I think the fuel is helping

Brilliant stuff! On a similar journey myself fixing a 2009 Fiesta (though with the DV6 diesel). I was excited for my first switch on, then gutted as it ran really bad. screwed up I think the timing tensioner and will check soon if it's just broken rockers.

You have those codes twice because 2 are pending and 2 are current. The difference being pending codes can be something that is very common and the engine knows this but if de value of the reading exceeds or get below certain level the car needs to know about it so it becomes a current code and it lets you know via a check engine light or something Great work btw👌

Hello, I'm a follower of yours and I've noticed a problem you have, the same thing happened to me with white smoke and it's not from the fuel, it's still due to an injector. I explain a little, the injector may be obstructed, so that it does not work well and leaves it in an open position leaking gasoline. I tried to rebuild it, and it wasn't possible. The smoke you see white in the turbo is the excess gasoline in the combustion chambers. Good work and best regards, I hope my comment will help you.

I done a head gasket on the same car. Mine took a long time to start and was running bad. The turbo was smoking as well. Turns out the crankshaft pulley was not timed up with the crankshaft. You need to get the engine to TDC and fit the locking pin in. The crankshaft pulley should have a hole just big enough to fit the second timing pin though the pulley. The pin goes through the pulley just past 12 o clock and goes into the timing case. My one was really far out.

Thanks for a great series of clips, i have done the same journey but pulled bottenpart apart also. Bad decision, no information about torque for conrods, got help from a great website where i bought a lot of my parts kmotorshop. I think Haynes is like a messy book, so hard to find information because they mixed severel different engines in the same manuel. For me all information is found on internet and better informed than haynes. Your clips help med whid a lot of information, i have renovated a lot of engines but this is something else. The engineer that constructed this engine should be banned for any new development. When we talk about sustainability this engine is a extremly bad. I started my engine yesterday after a stuck generator and startermotor but it runs so soft and smooth nowe 😊 Many thanks for great clips and links for parts etc.

Ive watched all your videos and have used them to help me carry out my first ever engine rebuild also on a near on identical Fiesta 1.0 ecoboost! I am at the point of timing it up and all is fine apart from the exhaust VVT pulley, when i go to fit the locking tool with everything else in the correct position and TDC etc the holes of the locking tool do not line up with the exhaust pulley???? Watching your video yours look in identical positions degrees-wise so my questions are 1. Did your exhaust pulley locking tool holes line up? 2. If they didn't do you know how to set this correctly? and 3. HEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!

As for me, I think that the engine just needs to get broken in and the exhaust leaks badly. And after letting it run at idle for 2 hours or 1st gear jacked up for 50 Miles, don't forget to change the oil and replace the filter as all of the gunk from building and breaking in the engine will be collected.

I did wonder this as I’ve heard with some vehicles the ECU has to almost relearn what it’s doing as it runs. Good shout on the oil and that was the plan, need to flush the coolant too thus the deionised water to start. Roughly how many miles before changing the oil do you recommend?
