Thanks for the video, it really gives me an ideea of the steps to be followed, i have to change the timming on a Suzuki Vitara which has the same engine, and it was really hard to find a video about Suzuki
thanks@@MechaNick_. Can I also ask what is the reason for removing the gear from the camshaft? as i could understand from the video, there does not look like it is needed, or was it just for demonstration purpose?
5:05 Hello friend, great video. Please can you explain why it is necessary to remove the camshaft sprocket? Removing belt, tensioner and water pump makes sense as you're replacing it all with new parts. But I can't understand the removal of the camshaft sprocket, as you already have access to remove all necessary components. Thanks
will all the timing belt marks line up again after final (2) revolutions of the crankshaft? Another video says they will never line up again.. what should be checked for after the final two engine revolutions?
@@MechaNick_ thank you. With your video I managed to get the job done. The camshaft locked up first try only so then I used engine markings and the belt markings.
Gread video, thanks! Is the replacement of the waterpump mandatory? Would the old one risk to start leaking if not changed along with the timing belt? Can you unscrew the tentionner without impact tools? You also say to check the tentionner after 2 revolutions of the camshaft at the end. Is there a mark on it that shows everything's still fine? Thanks in advance!
The replacement of the water pump is highly recommended since you remove them belt to access it. You can easily undo it without impact tools. After the 2 revolutions check if the tensioner is still in correct position and the timing marks align. But if you line up the marks on the belt with marks on the cam, fuelpump, and crankshaft you should be fine.
Hello Nicholas, thank you for the answer. I wonder about this. Its a short Intervall. The other car brands have more longer intervalls (for example Audi/VW, Ford, Peugeot). That is another reason why i wont buy a Fiat 😅
Hello , i replaced the belt and the engine is start well but i feel now the acceleration is low on high RPM and the fuel costs are higher then was , can you help with that ?
Thanks for taking the time to post this , looks straight forward but expensive if I get it wrong so I’m keeping you boys in a job 🙂👍
Hi, why was it necessary to remove the camshaft pulley if it's keyed please
@@nickroach2791 Nope!

You are welcome =) theres also marks on the timingbelt itself. If it alligns with the marks on the gears then you should be fine. Goodluck!

@@serbanveres4233 It's not needed to remove it. I wanted to show that the camshaft gear has a notch and cant be placed the wrong way.

Hey, its not necessary. I did it for the video to show the people that the camshaft has a notch.
@@MechaNick_ thank you!
Nicely done. This is for which car of fiat. I could see the box number NBW 1050
Thanks for sharing good luck
Sir what is the name of the tool your using for locking the cam,
will all the timing belt marks line up again after final (2) revolutions of the crankshaft? Another video says they will never line up again.. what should be checked for after the final two engine
revolutions?
@@TrailVapor they will never line up again. You can markt the pulleys and the engine.

0:12 is it possible to do this without an impact, I believe I can do everything else with the tools I have (i only have hand tools).
Yes, use a hammer on the tool. Or your hand, smack it.
@@MechaNick_ thanks mate!
Hello, good video! How is The Intervall for changing the belt? At how many km?
Hey there! Thanks :)
It's 120.000km or 60 months.

@@carlocoxxx3014 My Alfa has 60.000km and 3 years. Because of the heat that can damage the belt.
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing
Do you have to use thos cam locking tools? Or is it possible to do this without them?
Its possible to do without! You just use the marks on the belt and the marks on the gears.
Ok thanks😊 are there tdc markings on the engine block and cylinder head that should match the markings on the gears?
@@R3dn3ck747 Not really but its easier if the markings point up an crankshaft marking sideways like in the video.
Hello , i replaced the belt and the engine is start well but i feel now the acceleration is low on high RPM and the fuel costs are higher then was , can you help with that ?
Do you have any fault codes with OBD?
@@MechaNick_ no faults
Great job very thorough.
Thanks!
Bravo 👏
Grazie! :)
Nice
