Great job. You have a good sense of humor, which is always important when doing tedious stuff. Looks like there was a bit of a struggle getting the last cam retaining cap(?) by the cam gear out. I really like hearing your funny descriptions like cam made of taffy. Keep up the great work!
Yes there’s an M8 bolt that catches on the inside of the cam gear as you lift if out, its a bit of a faff but we got there in the end 😆😆 thanks for the feedback mate
Thank you for the great sharing. By the way, How do u check on other consequence damages. Such as rocker arm and valve? How do u evaluate the necessity to replace..
Just watched this and your toolbox tour, nice to see another fitter with an interest in electrics and engineering, two things you never seem to see in the apprentices coming in now unfortunately. Got some lovely tools there mate, I’ve got that 3/4 snap on bar and ratchet head absolute thing of beauty! Keep up the good work I’ve now subscribed. Are you self employed working for the parcel firm as a subby? The van looks smart and not the sort you’d normally get off the company? Just interested as I do wonder about getting a van and doing my own thing, plenty of work around at the moment.
Thanks mate, i was going to go self employed until the company bought out another local haulage firm which put me in no position to leave them, i own the van outright and kitted it out from the ground up also, its a nice bit of kit tbf, she’s a 155bhp model with proper low milage and all the bells’n’whistles lol
Thank fuck a no nonsense video with a professional attitude I'm looking forward to more content form you, I finished my time in 2004 and went driving lorries up until recently I'm back in the trade almost a year now and loving it. I'm way behind in experience and knowledge that's what brought me to TH-cam. I don't think anyone watching will be bored with more of the striping and rebuilding... thanks and good luck with the channel Martin watching from Ireland
Does the cam go back to Volvo for verification? Have Volvo fixed this issue on the new engines? How long has this problem been happening? R u not required to keep the top section of the cam retainer with the section it came from? I think you just put them in one box if I am correct. I guess they might be numbered like mains caps or conrod bigends?
Well observed, i’d centre punched dots into them from 1-6 the night before, tbf i probably should have mentioned that for good working practice, however if we are splitting hairs the new cams come with new shell bearings so it shouldn’t really matter. As for the cam its probably going to be turned into a floor lamp or something decorative lol, and as for fixing the issue New Volvos are still prone to it but as for the one in the video i replaced the hollow cam for a 1 piece solid cam, so it won’t bother me again………. Hope this helps 👍👍👍
Cheers for that bud, if you are doing more. Could you have the camera closer just to see a little better. If possible like. Great video though. Thinking of buying a jaltest I'm mobile up scotland and seem to fucked more and more without it
Great video fella, just stumbled across your channel and subscribed. It would have been good to see if there was any visable play on the lobe once it was out, am I right in thinking the lobes are splined to the shaft? Also I heard the crappy cams were introduced with the 'upgrade' to Euro6, was the solid new cam you fitted off a Euro 5? If so I guess all the cam timing is the same? Also nice to hear a proper North Walian accent on TH-cam, I'm originally from Llanfairfechan.
appreciate the kind words mate, the lobes are an interference fit onto the shats and as you asked, yes the lobes sometimes can be rotated by hand once the cam has been removed but that does depend on how long the engine was ran in that state i suppose, hope this answered your question...... diolch washi
Provided that you fill the new filters with clean diesel you won’t have much priming to do, literally pump the hand primer until you feel resistance and crank her over, it won’t take long to catch 👍👍
Please help i have volvo fh 12 d 16 2007 ,after one hour driving i get engine error timing sensor ,i change him,measure oms ,check wires ,but problem is same and error is not active ,show for 1 second,and cut power,olso i have engine vibration on exactly 1000 rpm

Thanks mate ❤️
Jaltest for the win everyday of the week. Davie doesn't really go onto any more detail unless your programing. Top work
davie is DAF, this was a volvo lol, but yes Jaltest is some awesome bit of kit !!
@@awelshmechanick3569 haha fuck so it is. Volvo diag isn't that great
good video
Thanks mate ❤️

Another. Good video, very professional looking for only your second video. 👍💯👊
When you doing a tour if your van??
The vans not worthy 😆😆
Thanks again Kev laa ❤️

thanks mate that's nice to hear, any questions just ask👍
Iv enjoyed you first two videos very much. Is there going to me more? you haven't posed any for a while.
Thanks mate and sorry for not responding, its been a bit busy 🥴🥴
Got one just now with a misfire, looks like no4 inlet rocker arm roller sized and cut a groove in camshaft throwing out valve bridge, 💸💸💸
780k on the clock to be fair
Did you get her running again mate? What parts did the job take??

Hello mate, can you please tell me how to prime the fuel system after fuel filter replacement on fh4?? Thanks

Do you do much on DAF trucks matey?
Yes mate, quite familiar with DAF 👍

Do you have any fault codes out of your EMS and FMI’s to accompany them? Also, what is the milage of the vehicle?
Wouldn’t happen to a MAN 😅 great video
No it would not, MAN are built strong…….. unless its a Euro 5, 440 EGR engine, they got that one wrong lol
@@awelshmechanick3569 hahaha you're not wrong. The all have there faults some more than others.
