Неужели головку не шлифовали? АйЯяй!!! Пробило прокладку не просто так!
Наверняка перегрев был. Или просто не показали процесс шлифовки?

great videos yours!
was looking for how to adjust the valves on my sis C3 1.4i 2010 (is now
with 75.000 Km)
for curiosity how many km the head gasket broke?
thanks for sharing with us your vast experience!

I have recommended your videos here in Brazil because the level of quality
of their services are excellent and I have learned so much, hugs friend.

don’t you need new screws for a french zylinderhead?

The square tool for the timing belt tensioner…
It’s actually the same size as the sump plug, so the same tool can be used.

The bolts tying the exhaust manifold to the downtube tends to be a rusted
mess, so spraying them with penetrating oil of some sort a few times the
day before you start the job is a good idea.

On my Berlingo, I removed the coil pack first, then removed the throttle
wire and bracket holding it afterwards. No need to mess with counting the
grooves.
(A lot of the wires and tubing you remove on the car in the video can be
left in place on the Berlingo)

When lifting the top lid, be careful about the two spacers that goes
between the lid and the ‘splash guard’. They have a distressing habit of
either ending up between the rockers, or on the floor, directly under the
car.

I wish I knew about the oven cleaner trick when I did this on my Berlingo…

As you write, bolts can be reused if they’re not too stretched, but new
bolts are cheap, and comes with most good kits. (If only one bolt is
stretched too much, all needs to be replaced) Why risk a bolt shearing off
in the block? Or thrashing the threads…

I notice this engine is a ‘pre 2003’ model. They introduced revision with
an auto-tensioner in 2003. (the belt and water pumps are different on the
revised model. Just a note to people to check this before ordering)

I can’t see any mention of the fuel injectors or the High-Pressure
reservoir?
Quick tips for anyone doing this job: Leave them in place!
Only unhook the fuel line(s) from the reservoir. The green plug ‘under’ the
inlet manifold(3 prongs) is the only cable needed to disconnect the
injectors from the wiring loom. If you do remove the reservoir(the long
plastic tube across the injectors), you have to replace the seals. So leave
them well enough alone.

Your torque angle gauge is better than mine… Can we get a brand/model
name?

TU3 JP engines are notoriously difficult when it comes to bleeding the
coolant system for trapped air. It REALLY helps to jack up the front
lefthand corner…
Jack it high, then a bit higher still… The top of the cavity around the
cylinders is slightly higher than the connecting passage to the thermostat
housing where the bleed screw is situated.
