This one caught my attention as I’d done the timing belt on my ‘11 plate Scenic with 75k on the clock. I use the same timing belt kits as well. Great quality. I thought the timing belt was just about due but I found a Gates belt had been fitted and it was over the edge of the top pulleys and was partly worn away from rubbing on the covers. The new belt sits where it was supposed to, so maybe the old one was fitted incorrectly. It was also not tensioned properly. Only issue was the engine refused to start. Left it overnight and it started first time. No Idea why but it’s run flawlessly since. Love your videos.
I have a Dacia duster second generation 6 years old ,have done 60,000 km going to get cam belt changed now I know how they do it A very informative video ,
The Renault 1.5dci is a good engine. My last car had it and I did 340,000miles before I traded it in. Do a regular oil change (I did one every 6,000 miles) and change the belt every five years or 80,000 miles and it won’t let you down.
I've just bought a 2006 Mégane 1.5 DCI, just turned 80k and on original belt! Booked in for immediate replacement as it's cracked all around on the outside, but I agree, brilliant engines
Replacing my Duster 1.5 dci belt kit. Do you remove the timing pins before tightening the crankshaft bolt? Will it damage them or the crank/block? Also I wish you had mentioned your dislike of Gates on here, I made the mistake of buying one and now I want to change it, the tensioners are rubbish.
If you have already put the engine on timing and installed the belt and setted the tension You can remove the pins since all the pulleys have keylock so even if the engine turns It doesnt matter cause It is already on timing. The engine Will turn once It starts so yes, It doesnt matter that much even It is the BEST to Torque the crackshalft pulleys without the timing pins so you wont break the engine block or pins
Hey! Thanks very much for this explanation! You made it look easy haha. I've got a question, at minute 4:57, when you are replacing the water pump, I see that the engine is lifted up without the support below. How do you do it to support the engine when the car is up? Isn't supposed to be supported on the bottom while the engine fixation is off?
You support the engine from the sump with a nice soft piece of wood between the jack pad. I always try to get the jack centred under the stronger parts of the sump, the edge closest to the crank pulley side. Don't support it centrally on the flat bottom of the sump as it can crack.
Don't forget to mastic the two water pump bolts on the left hand side of the pump. The bolt holes go through to the water jacket and it can leak if you miss this step. Trust me, I know. I have to pull the one I done today apart again tomorrow just to do this.
@@ssss-df5qz thanks for both answers! Yeah I could imagine that he is putting something below the sump, but at some point he lifts it up quite high, so I was wondering how does he still support the engine when he lifts it so high. Maybe you were already meaning that and I did not understand then. About the screw of the water pump, when you talk about to mastic, do you mean to put the Loctite 270? I have a Renault manual for the K9K and it mentions that one of the bolts requires the glue, but doesn't say anything about the mastic. Just with informative porpoise, I'm working on a Citan 111CDI (OM607=K9K)
@@cstlloj you need a jack to lift that high. You also need to unbolt the rear engine support. To get the engine mount plate out. It is a pain otherwise.
Thanks for sharing such a well-recorded and concise video. I don't have the lock pins but I have a lathe so I could turn them if I can find out the diameters please?
Hi Baz, Lots of love and respect from your fans in India. Needed some help with the same motor here on my Duster 110 dci K9K. There is a slight oil seepage on the Turbo Intercooler hose where there is a plastic tube outlet for a hose that goes to the Boost Pressure Sensor. Its really not alot but sure seepage on spirited driving over the weekend. Shall I replace the pipe? Also, does that seepage indicate a small performance drop on initial acceleration? The technicians here keep telling me the K9K 110 has poor initial acceleration in the 1st and 2nd gear but am sure something's off. The car has been regularly serviced and nothing's been skipped. Recently had a Vaccum Solenoid failure and it was changed. When it failed the boost was only around 2K RPM and there was a bit of oil sucked outta the Turbo. Had the EGR unit ( Valve, Exhanger and Manifold ) cleaned thoroughly and I wonder if my Turbo's on its way out. No shaft play on compressor end. Any tips?
Hello Baz, I wish you a good day, I really liked your video. I have a question, what is the size of the Renault 1.5 DCI crankshaft locking pin? There is very complicated information on the internet about this. Also, are the dimensions of the Renault 1.5 DCI and Renault 1.6 16 valve crankshaft locking pin the same? There are different opinions on this subject too.
I thought you had to temove the crank locking pin when you undo the crank pulley bolt? But yiu can leave ut i when you later retighten it/put new one in
Good job, not a bad engine when I looked after and easy to work on.

Great detailed info well done,just looking for a video on a renault kadjar 1.5 dci so i can try and tackle the job myself soon.
Same engine buddy
@@bazmeredith Great thanks for the reply pal,cheers.
The early version of the K9K engines were a dream to work on. Oil filter easy to access from the top, EGR the same.
also the performance acceleration every thing about them was cool have one and it's beautiful 13 years and still runs like new
Another fine job 👍

Hello greatings from Romania.What is the cost for this job,just for hand,without the timing kit? Thanks
but how do exactly change the water pump and apply the laste and all it's very important
What site do u use for diagrams baz
Launch euro tab 3 buddy
What is your opinion on skf timing belt kits, compared to ina?🤙
Same quality both real good
Is the same engine in vivaro 1-9 04
Ive got this engine in our A180d and Mercedes are saying 10 years or 125k for the cam belt!
The manufacturer’s recommendation is always at an absolute maximum.
Baz where are you based ??
Awesome 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Where are you based? Ive got a qashqai needs doing, k9k euro 5
I can't for the life of me get my belt on. Too tight.
Pronounced Dacha .
