Kid in shop... quiet on set. Wow he is great so patient.

Nice car. Owned one many years ago. No need for stress on the road, it will bring you everywhere, slow but relaxed. I was always smiling driving it, and still do when I see one nowadays. ❤ 2CV. Greetings from Belgium.

It is amazing for me to see this vehicule that my mother drove 25 years ago. Thank you. Note that this car came from Vienne department in France it is not so far from where I live. Congratulations for your patience and your dedication to make this 2CV (deudeuche as nickname) to live.

36 years ago, mine had low compression, the engine was dead, it was a 1975 yellow model i bought from a hair cutter 4500 french francs. A lot of good memory with that car...The new seats are beautiful, very good taste.

Learned a lot from your video and would love to have been able to watch it back in 1988 when I had a 2CV6-Great engines once dialed in and can run flat out.Super comfortable too.I seem to recall that they were so well machined that they didn't need head gaskets.Always thought it was fascinating that a 2CV was one of the cars in American Graffiti.Thanks!

French answer to a Beetle! Saw a lot of these when in Europe in the mid-'70s, always wondered what made 'em tick! Watching some of them being operated was downright Craziness!

Hello from France ! I'm new to your channel but I find your work awesome ! A little note : in France, CV means Horse (for administration horses, related to the car power, weight, etc...). So, you could translate 2CV by 2 Horses !! Anyway, keep on bringing us your great work on Youtube ! Regards.

that was a great video
most of the things that can go wrong with a 2cv fixed by a guy who knows what he's doing
way better than a lot of guys who have big ego's and nothing else
well done sir, just make sure that the doesn't steal your car :-)

awesome video! I really like your methods over measurements and how you diagnose the problems!

So many memories from working on that engine.

I drive mine every day to work and enjoy every moment of it is a great car.

Enjoyed watching video today. The interior looks great! Enjoyed the test drive. Thanks for posting .

Watching this now ...thoroughly enjoying your explanation of timing , points and how these bits , pieces and adjustments work with and against each other ! Really like how you just drilled a hole into the exhaust to install an O2 sensor to get the pesky mixture correct !

J’avais la même en 1975, que du pur plaisir à partager entre frangin ❤

Great looking seats!

Yay a new video. All the other YouTubers I watched had new ones and I was wondering about when yours was coming out

Very good job indeed. I got a 2cv too. Not a simple engine to tune. A world apart

Burton is a good recommendation.  2CVSOURCE is excellent, too.  Between the two of these suppliers you should be able to get everything you need, including the 602cc > 652cc conversion.

Tires: you will be better served with radials.  The Michelin X are the exact tire fit.  They last forever so the price, high, is negligible over the life of the tire.

You have found one major benefit of the car: smiles!  Yours and the folks you see on the way.  This is a happy ride.

The name: Seetro - en.  The diaeresis over the "e" means it is pronounced twice.  

Have a ton of fun with this car.

Great fun, you really need to get the two cardboard tubes from heat exchangers to inner wings, they run without of course but can overheat if it's warmish where you live.

I have seen a stray timing strobe like that on older VW Bug engines. I always just figured it was a crappy pickup for the light and since the engines idled smooth, I never pursued it.

For weak spark at the plug, (same old VWs) we would pull the coil wire slightly out of the distributor cap, not all the way out, but enough to make the spark have to jump within. If that improved the spark at the plug, we would then use that as confirmation it was the coil and replace it. I have no idea why that told us it was the coil, but was a reliably good indicator.

In case you skipped stuff like the door panel replacement because you think there is no interest, I for one would be. Watching a technician doing even "simple" jobs, one can sometimes spot little tricks that are handy, but previously unknown.

Thanks for you videos.
