head gasket probs 200 tdi

(1/3) > >>

philbert:
think my head gasket is leaking.
getting a slight chuffing noise behind the turbo.
going to order a new gasket but which one there are 3
how do i tell before i take it apart?

can anyone help??

Xtremeteam:
if its chuffing from behind the turbo it will be the exhaust/inlet manifold gasket,

if its chuffing from the oil cap its the headgasket




Or could be a stud for the rocker shaft pulled out causing the chuff

philbert:
the noise seems to be coming from round about the manifold area.definately not the oil cap

Xtremeteam:
exhaust manifold gasket id say,think they are only about £5 aswell

Range Rover Blues:
Correct me someone if I'm wrong but there are different thicknesses of gasket because the compression ratio is critical in a Deisel.  I did the Cav once and you have to measure the projection of the piston crowns above the block before deciding which gasket to go for.  Once the pistons are covered in carbon they touch the cylinder head :shock:

Anyway you need to check either with a dealer or a manual as there should be some identification on the gasket that's visible whilst it's fitted.
