Would buy the boxer In a heart beat

is there another part?

Re advise etc ...Their is a saying in Ireland ..If you work for nothing..You will never be idle...

I know who done the paintwork on that escort

Brilliant video

Not defending these engines in any way, but anyone who leaves oil changes long enough for the oil pump to look like that deserves all they get!

Peugeot Engines are horrible now sadly, pure tech is horrible/hdi too now. Renaults DCI is waay waaay better and more relliable. I woul buy a new engine Rob, and it will be ok. Great video and work as always Rob! :D

We have endless problems with overheating in South Africa with the 3.2

Great video, have you tried these people for car transport? cheap as chips, mention my name (They are in Strood) LondonShadows Garage & Recovery

I'm not in the trade now but l've heard these PSA (?) engines have a very poor record . And Rob . Not ideal foot wear for dismantling engines ! Cheers !

With the way manufacturers recommend oil changes at 20-30 thousand miles, isn't this why these problems are becoming more prolific....

No shortage of blown 3.2's.

No loctite on the original threads of the cam bolt?

I guess for "modern" car mechanics, if the diagnostic tools you plug in don't tell you anything they are lost. Needs someone with the time, experience and patience to sort out.

Hey bro thanks for your info but could you tell me what s the resistor value please.

Sounds like diesel knock

Have watched several other you tube channels where a second hand engine may be as bad and your time cost , one particular garage no longer does work with second hand engine's

any service records with it? that might tell the story, or lack thereof..

oil is cheap engines are expensive

buy an engine hoist balancer

STEER CLEAR OF MODERN CARS THEY ARE A LIABLITY

TOP END WILL BE BAD TOO FROM OIL STARVATON NEW TURBO????????? TURBO MAY BE GRTTY TOO

For me it would be another engine , I’d suspect heavy wear in other areas too.

It’s tough having sympathy for people who don’t change their diesel engine oil.

Wasn’t that crane last seen in service hoisting triple expansion steam engines in Belfast?

Iron Bru rather than oil?

Really should be wearing safety shoes rob

Down a bit, left a bit, right a bit. Fire! If you know, you know. Main Stealers at work = £1500. Your quality of work leaves them standing, their "technicians" couldn't diagnose a cold.

Thats a proper sickener paying out 1500 quid then the engine says bye bye, although oil looked pretty bad

Im subscriber to Coffeewalk and Dennis is still finding his Holy grails as hes definitely still saying it.

Good video guys .. chris knowledge is better then a main dealer..... carnt wait to watch the rebuild 👍👍

Sure the magic twins will come out on top 👍👍👍

Big shout out to the engine hoist. Been doing some good work recently on here. Time for his own channel? 😁

Defo agree about not being allowed it to the local tip ive got a kangoo maxi not much bigger than that vauxhall of yours not allowed in at all even with domestic rubbish from my house its my only car/van then the council wonder why thayrs so much fly tipping🤯even if we wear charged £10/20 for household rubbish

Been an engine to long,lads

👍👍

Sell it for 4k and give chris a bonus, worth that all day given how solid it is

Love these stories 😎

Possible garage ripped of customer said they changed oil but hadn't

the sound on cris,s mike is poor????

Changing oil every 10, 000 gives the same result although can last a bit longer. Citroen recommend every 25,000😅 Remember they have now changed oil type to 0-20 that could help with the sludged up engine

My suspicion on this one is it did have oil changes when Vauxhall reckoned - but they either didn't use the correct long life oil, or more likely it was used for short runs (hence the low miles) previous owner would likely be better off with a petrol or electic.

Considering the engine has only done 40k miles I would have thought regrinding the crank with new shell would be the best option.

No link for the transport guy Rob?

Nice one guys thanks

That's reminds me- need to get my car serviced...😆

When you switch the sound system on it will probably play the bagpipes you wont hear the knocking from the engine 😂😂

🖐🏽Good visit, thanks fellas!

Looks very like a maintenance failure. 50/50 as to crank re grind and shells or replacement short engine.

In the next one!
