In the last maintenance blog you might have seen that we pulled into Porto Cristo in Majorca to have some repairs done, namely the crankshaft seal and the Vetus coupling bushings. It had also been over 2000 miles since the timing belt was last changed so we thought we'd get that done too.

Normally I'm up for a bit of DIY as you know, but because the marinas are so expensive in that part of the world i didn't want to be sat on the dock for weeks on end while i tried to figure out how to do the job and to source parts. So Torsten the engineer from Yacht Concept Majorca came on board and agreed to be filmed and talk me through the job as well.

Although these videos show maintenance work on a TMD22 / Perkins Prima marine diesel engine, many components and assembly techniques are similar across the Volvo Penta range, including: MD22L; MD22P; MD22L-B; MD22P-B; TMD22-B; TMD22P-C; TAMD22P-B; HS25A; HS25A-B; 120S-E; MS2A-E; MS2L-E; MS2B-L; TMD22B

And just to clear up any confusion, Amel engines go through a c drive so the 'back' of the engine in most boats is the 'front' of the engine in an Amel.

As the timing belt was getting changed we thought we'd do the alternator belts too.. and also get the pulleys, tensioners and the water pump checked, and it was a good job we did because there were a few nasty surprise hidden behind the cover plate which meant replacing those parts too. All in all the wallet took a nasty hit on this occasion, not only on the parts but marina fees too!

Thanks to Peter Kukloc from 'Yacht Concept' and Torsten who kindly let us film him and bombard him with questions while he worked.
