In the last maintenance blog you might have seen that we pulled into Porto Cristo in Majorca to have some repairs done, namely the crankshaft seal and the Vetus coupling bushings. It had also been over 2000 miles since the timing belt was last changed so we thought we'd get that done too.
Normally I'm up for a bit of DIY as you know, but because the marinas are so expensive in that part of the world i didn't want to be sat on the dock for weeks on end while i tried to figure out how to do the job and to source parts. So Torsten the engineer from Yacht Concept Majorca came on board and agreed to be filmed and talk me through the job as well.
Although these videos show maintenance work on a TMD22 / Perkins Prima marine diesel engine, many components and assembly techniques are similar across the Volvo Penta range, including: MD22L; MD22P; MD22L-B; MD22P-B; TMD22-B; TMD22P-C; TAMD22P-B; HS25A; HS25A-B; 120S-E; MS2A-E; MS2L-E; MS2B-L; TMD22B
And just to clear up any confusion, Amel engines go through a c drive so the 'back' of the engine in most boats is the 'front' of the engine in an Amel.
As the timing belt was getting changed we thought we'd do the alternator belts too.. and also get the pulleys, tensioners and the water pump checked, and it was a good job we did because there were a few nasty surprise hidden behind the cover plate which meant replacing those parts too. All in all the wallet took a nasty hit on this occasion, not only on the parts but marina fees too!
Thanks to Peter Kukloc from 'Yacht Concept' and Torsten who kindly let us film him and bombard him with questions while he worked.

Best video on TH-cam showing cambelt change on Volvo MD22, Volvo TMD22 / Perkins Prima. Thanks very much for uploading this video. Also good to see it done without any special tools / good mechanic.
Thanks a lot! Very helpful!👍
Gostei muito bom
thanks
Very well documented, thanks!
Brilliant video and well explained. Have a similar engine (Perkins m50) where the timing belt is up for renewal. Thanks for putting in this effort to document the process.
No problem Petter, glad it helped 👍
@ Petter ..or even the author ..
Hey there ..quick question..trying to work on my Prima m50 as well..and was wondering what is the crankshaft center bolt socket size to use to remove pulley?! ..is it right handed screw ..? ..so to loose it I have to go clock wise ..from front of engine?!! Thanks in advance Petter. Patto
What did it cost?
It's all so complicated. I'm looking at electric motors and LFP battery, which look to be similar priced than a refurbished diesel, and a lot less fiddley
I can't remember the final cost but electric motors are undoubtedly the future.. although I still don't think they're quite there yet for leisure boats. You will obviously need to up-skill on the electric side of things and the mechanics of transmission won't change much. Still.. I won't miss the heat or the diesel and oil leaks in the engine bay!
Nice video! How did he adjust the tension on the new belt? They specify a certain tension in the manual and a special gauge to verify it, how did he do it?
Good question.. and I'm not entirely sure. If it's not slipping, squeaking and doesn't have more than 1inch slack, I generally think it's OK though.
@@MothershipMaintenance He did a good job, clearly experienced and had done this engine before. He would know by feel exactly how much tension a cambelt need.
How reliable is the engine?About to buy a used one that needs the turbo, thanks.
It's actually a British built Perkins Prima with a Volvo badge and if you source Perkins parts (rather than Volvo) they are reliable and relatively easy and cheap(ish) to maintain. Most marine engineers are very familiar with them too so a very safe bet for a boat. Just get it checked over and the oil tested before you buy. We replaced out turbo about three years ago.. not a difficult job but not cheap either.
