Great video, very well narrated. Ready to do mine @ 112k, and looking for
all the expertise I can find. Retired USAF jet crew chief, but a little
intimidated by this upcoming task on my car.
About last year I actually came to ur videos concerning the timing belt
change. I changed it fine then it snapped last week again. What is usually
the cause of the belt snapping- because it still makes the chirping noise.
I loosened the tensioner a little to see if that helps but now it has that
awkward sound. Any insight?
Non Interference Motor 2.0 mazda protege5
what is the name of the air filter that is installed on this mazda? thanks
yes it can snap at any time. I had a 2000 Protege that i changed at 110k
miles but it was because the water pump froze so while we had it apart we
changed the belt. Had a 2002 Protege with 200k and the belt snapped going
down the highway…luckily the Protege engine is a non-interference engine
so it doesn’t mess with the valves so you just retime it and your good. We
did it on this 2001 Protege at 165k just as preventative maintenance…belt
was missing no teeth a little dry rotted.
the cold intake you have does it throw. off your air mass sensor
nice VID – very informative
Hey when I replaced the timing belt on my 2000 Protege it looked completely
fine (no cracks or signs of wear). However, the Mazda mechanic told me that
he had no idea how long that belt is going to last. He said there was a
possibility that it could even snap or break within the next 10,000 km or
so. Do you think thats possible? I had a hard time believing that guy. He
just wanted to make the situation look worse so they can charge you for
additional labour. I ended up replacing the belt
Don’t jack under the oil pan unless you want to compress your oil gasket
and make it leak. Buy a engine support bar (Harbor Freight)
Awesome vid!
how did you tighten crank bolt?Also, what about the cams moving while you
replace the belt.Anyway to hold them?
