Hi Thanks I replaced new timing belt on s60 2005, but the belt not centred it moves asid about 0.9mm over camshaft drive. So what can be the problem? Any advice?
Also consider balance shaft timing. Another thing, I've seen a flat washer accidentally dropped into a motor mount cause heinous vibration because it was jammed between the body side of the mount and the engine side. Twice in one week by two different techs.
damn toyota dealer didn't torque the balancer to correct spec after a timing belt replacement and it ate the keyway in the crank on mine. Hello new crankshaft. I would have emphasized getting the bolt tight more than anything else.
Ok thank u... So if i got my timing chain replaced .. and the car started shaking 2 days later when i started it up but stopped shaking within 2 minutes... is that an issue too?
Hey John, excellent presentation. Had my 1992 isuzu pickup 2.3l rebuilt two years ago. Ran great for a while. Then one day engine started this subtle, annoying vibration. It has continued to this day. Pulled timing belt cover off, notice tdc on crankshaft was 180 off camshaft arrow. Any help?
I just replaced my timing belt on my 2005 volvo v50 t5. and when I started the car (cold start) it ran perfect for about 15 seconds but then when the rpms dropped down to 900 (idle) the rpms just started going up and down a lot and then like 5 seconds later the engine just shut off. So something is definitely not right
What about a 98 nissan pathfinder? The book says push the harmonic balancer onto crank snout, then tighten the bolt to 98 ft/lbs.. if you are telling me that is wrong im surprised my manual tells me to do it that way. Because you said "under no circumstance should i use the crankshaft bolt to install the harmonic balancer."
I know this video is old, but I just had my bf's parents friends shop who they have trusted for over 40 years replace my timing and you would think for such loyal customers and $4k worth of parts and labor, that they would do their best. Since I got my timing replaced, Head Gasket, both catalytic converters (subaru), and new flex pipe and welded middle to back of car exhaust system...I have had NO A/C when it was ice cold before that, heat shields are now rubbing or vibrating and I heard the ticking as soon as I got it back, but it would go away when it warmed up..everyone thought i was nuts and the engine wasnt shaking but it was and no one believed i could actually figure it out. When i noticed it, i filled up the oil tank bc i thought it was a rod knock, it seemed to stop it for one day and then it came back on every cold startup. I looked up on the car issues forums i belong to and ALL of the subie owners said if you didnt have it replaced, it would be a design flaw in the tensioner, but if you DID have it replaced, well then, its the shop that f***ed it up. Thank you for this insight.
I have an VW POLO TSI 1.2 it was in for a camshaft adjuster recall.. after VW changed it my car runs rough at idle and jolts from front to back when taking of at stops or driving slow in(kinda like a bad clutch feeling) in traffic and now takes ages to accelerate. It was bought brand new is a manual and has only 1000kms on it, VW dealer says its "normal". taking it back again. When sitting on between 1000 and 2000 revs the whole car shakes a lot...like really a lot. A friend of mine sat with me in the car saying thats not right. It did not do this before it went in. . They seem to be hard asses about it. I just want my car to drive normal again as its new and wasn't cheap :( I don't want it to bend valves as the dealers are probably gonna blame me for it. Quick to sell a car but don't want anything to do with you when they mess something up. Im not an Idiot with cars I have some knowledge serviced my first car a lot, but not mechanic level but I know this isn't how a car must drive.
Hi... i m having a Daewoo Gentra x which has S-tech 2 engine . after replacing the timing chain the engine is shaking . the machanics said timing of the chain is ok but still shaking .Please advise me what to do ?
I just had my timing belt replaced . and now my engine is moving up and down.. Could have the mechanic screwed up the mount? He was working on that area of my car. And my car didn't have that issue at all Which by the way , my car only had the p0647 code. He should have just changed the oil pressure switch and gasket.. But he repaired oil leak, and timing belt and then finally the oil pressure switch and my car is underivable now! Blinking engine light . vsa , engine moving up and down .. He said he didn't break my car! But , he did! He surely did! How is it I had one problem and now I can't even drive at all.
Hi there, my car feels like has no power after timing chain replacement and the engine is also vibrating, the mechanic told me that its because of the clogged cat convertor which I got checked today and has no cat issues, what could be the problem? The engine light stays on all the time. Thanks
Could be that they didn't screw everything back in, or the teeth are misaligned. The power loss that you are describing is exactly what happened to my car, mechanic had to double check that everything was screwed in properly, that fixed it!
Rodrick Chauke run compression test on the engine I've seen several head gaskets cause the rings to blow out. You wouldn't think so but I've seen it a couple times. AutoZone has a compression tester you can run or you can run one with an airhose. Either way just make sure you don't loose compression. I've seen it a couple times and people tend to just throw parts at it and not properly test the engine before attempting a repair.
Rick Smooth my Mazda 626 2.0 manual transmission runs good when above 1500rpm when idling it wants to de feels like it's missing replaced timing belt if of a couple teeth would it make it do that
very informative. I'm just a beginner. at 60 years old. Thanks for the video. it will help very much.
Интересное кино.

Very well Explained video, and a Very Important one !

Investigating my wobbling crank. Sounding like I may have a similar issue
Ok thank u...
So if i got my timing chain replaced .. and the car started shaking 2 days later when i started it up but stopped shaking within 2 minutes... is that an issue too?
Belt was put on wrong with timing marks not set correctly.
Hi what engine is it, please? Thanks.

Tyler james I think he meant if the gears tolerance is extremely tight and you can’t push the gear on in the first place.
