1.0L EcoBoost - решаем три проблемы за одну операцию. Подробно о новых ремнях ГРМ

Summary

In this video, the presenter, Andrei, provides an in-depth guide on replacing the timing belt and other essential components in the 1.0L Ford engine. He discusses the common issues with the timing belt, particularly regarding faulty components from the original supplier, and recommends upgrades with newer, more durable parts. The video covers a comprehensive list of items to replace, including the mass pump belt, crankshaft bolt, and various seals and gaskets. Andrei also highlights preventive maintenance steps to ensure longevity and avoid costly repairs, advising viewers to stick with quality OEM parts and pay attention to engine oil pressure indicators.

Takeaways

• 😀 The video focuses on the replacement of the timing belt (GRM) on the 1.0L Ford Ka and highlights common issues and preventive measures.
• 😀 It’s crucial to replace the timing belt kit (belt + pulley) as a whole when servicing, since old components may fail before the next scheduled replacement.
• 😀 Ford had acknowledged an issue with their original timing belts, caused by a supplier's manufacturing error, leading to a change in the part number and design.
• 😀 Always aim to replace the timing belt components before 150,000 km to avoid potential engine damage and additional costs.
• 😀 For automatic transmission cars, it’s essential to replace the oil pump drive belt, as it’s a higher-stress component compared to manual transmission versions.
• 😀 If your car has an automatic transmission, be sure to replace the tensioning device for the oil pump drive belt to prevent potential failures.
• 😀 The crankshaft bolt is one-time use only and must be replaced to ensure proper assembly of the engine components during the timing belt replacement.
• 😀 The front crankshaft seal should be replaced as it tends to fail after a certain mileage, potentially leaking oil and causing engine damage.
• 😀 The video stresses the importance of replacing various seals and gaskets, such as the water pump gasket and valve cover gasket, to prevent future leaks.
• 😀 An optional but recommended part replacement is the cooling system 'Y-pipe' which can degrade over time, potentially causing coolant leaks and overheating.

Q & A

What is the primary focus of this video?

The video focuses on the maintenance and replacement of essential components in the timing gear (GRM) of the Ford 1-liter engine, specifically for the first generation, with recommendations for part replacements and preventive measures.

Why is the timing belt replacement important, and when should it be done?

The timing belt plays a crucial role in synchronizing the engine's movements. It should be replaced at an interval of 150,000 kilometers to avoid failure, which could lead to engine damage. Ford has updated the timing belts with improved quality.

What issues were identified with the original Ford timing belts?

The original timing belts had quality issues, which Ford acknowledged. The supplier had made these belts incorrectly, leading to potential failures. Ford has since replaced the supplier and released new belts with improved specifications.

What is the recommended replacement for the mass oil pump belt in cars with an automatic transmission?

In vehicles with an automatic transmission, particularly those with a six-speed gearbox, the mass oil pump belt requires a tensioner to maintain proper tension. This is a more complex system compared to manual transmissions.

Why is the crankshaft bolt considered one-time use?

The crankshaft bolt is designed to secure the crankshaft pulley with high torque. It is a one-time-use component because once it is tightened, it loses its ability to be reused effectively, potentially leading to failure if reused.

When should the front crankshaft seal be replaced?

The front crankshaft seal should be replaced when the timing gear cover is removed. Since it works in contact with the crankshaft pulley, it is likely to wear out and leak over time, so replacing it ensures a proper seal and prevents oil leaks.

What is the importance of replacing the valve cover gasket during timing gear maintenance?

Replacing the valve cover gasket prevents oil leaks and ensures the engine runs smoothly. It's not mandatory but highly recommended, especially if there are signs of wear or oil leaks.

What is the role of the catalytic converter in timing gear maintenance?

During the replacement of the timing gear components, the catalytic converter may need to be detached to remove the oil pan. This requires replacing the upper and lower catalytic converter gaskets to prevent exhaust leaks.

What is the significance of the oil pump gasket replacement?

The oil pump gasket ensures a proper seal in the oil system. While it is not always mandatory to replace it during timing gear maintenance, doing so prevents future oil leaks and ensures the oil pump continues to function properly.

Why should the thermostat housing O-rings be replaced as a preventive measure?

The thermostat housing O-rings are made from thermoplastic materials that can degrade over time. Replacing them prevents leaks in the cooling system, which could lead to overheating and engine damage.

Is it necessary to replace the fuel pump high-pressure seal and injector seals during timing gear maintenance?

Yes, it is recommended to replace the fuel pump high-pressure seal and injector seals whenever the injectors are removed. These seals prevent fuel leaks and ensure safe and efficient engine operation.

How often should the water pump be replaced during timing gear maintenance?

The water pump does not need to be replaced every time, but it is a good preventive measure, especially if the car will be used for another 150,000 kilometers. Replacing it during timing gear maintenance ensures it doesn't fail prematurely.
