- This is part two of the journey of bringing this 32 year old vehicle back to life, after standing unused for the last 7 years. Tackling the timing belt change, including fabricating my own tensioner tool.

Great video explaining the process. I feel a bit more comfortable tackling the timing belts on my 1992 Tolbot Express now, thanks. Alan from Northern Ireland
With hindsight it was actually a straight forward process. I’m just always apprehensive tackling jobs like this due to the possibility of royally ruining a perfectly good engine! Good luck, go slow and it’ll be fine :)
Can't really think why I watched this excellent video as I shall never have to do this job but it was such fun watching it! Well done!
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video. Very helpful to me changing the timing belts on my 32 year old Talbot Express motor home. Really appreciate your attention to detail and actually quite entertaining too!!
Thank you so much! I did the same job this weekend on my peugeot j5 and your video was a great help and also inspiration for me!
You name it.. to put the upper belt in place is really "entertaining";-)... in the beginning I thought there is almost half an inch of length missing. Finally I got it managed by warming the belt and pushing it on the pulley from the side, using a stick to get pressure on it. Lost some blood too, ;-), but the engine is running! Thanks again, I didn´t find a single other video on the web showing this job on that car.
Enjoyed that, really chuffed you mentioned the Talbot Express Owners Club, lots of knowledge on there.
Thank you for this video, I watched it 3 times before I changed the timing belts in my Hymer B694 today. all went smoothly, but it took me a long time. Thanks again. Excellent video
Great video and really helpful👍👍
Hi James here I Have a Hymer 1990 and I can't get it to start got the fuel pump taken out and redone and she still won't turn over do you have any idea what this could be your help is much appreciated
Thanks for taking the time to document this!
I'm attempting to do the same on mine and struggling with getting the new crank/cam belt. Did you end up manage to get it on with the tension in place, or does the tensioner go in afterwards?
Big belt (crank cam) I managed to get on with the tensioner in place, obviously slackened all the way off. It was fiddly but not awful. The harder one (for me anyway) was the cam - injection pump belt. That one I had to fit with the tensioner only half fitted - ie with the little locking pin not located. Once I’d got the belt past the edge of the tensioner I was able to swing the tensioner around and fit it correctly.
Neither were the worst I’ve ever done, but they were tight and not the easiest I’ve done either!
Fabulous to watch,can you let us know the brand and number for new belts as I have the peugeot 2.5 and the tell me its the same belts,thanks.Aidan
Great video. Exactly the same engine as mine so I'm going to have a go. One thing. The tensioner tool wrench. Which one fits? There's loads out there.
hello,
we have the same engine and i wanted to ask if you have a link to the forum or the place where we can find some more information?
The forum that were helpful are here: talbotoc.com
They are a Talbot motor home group, but have a lot of info on the C25 engine.
Otherwise, there is a tiny bit of info on CZcams, but to be honest not much out there on line.
@@newlifemarine1476 thanks al lot we found the forum.
we have a motor home a citroen c25
no turbo en it broke 3 inlet rockers. so we thought its the timing but we arent shure about it. we set The rockers outlet 0.20 inlet 0.30 the problem that we uncure is no real power at top speed that must be 100kmh but we drive top 80kmh en there is black smoke
I’ve used 2 drill bits and a screwdriver beetween them on them adjusters instead of making a tool in the past it’s crude but it’s quick and it works
Bla.... Bla.... Bla..
