sounds like a steam train with the oil cap off

--- Quote from: "muddysteve" ---its a 200tdi and seems to be using a fair bit of oil
no oil in coolant or vice versa but chuffs like a gooden with the oil filler cap off

head gasket or somethin more expensive?

Chuffs out of the oil filler cap when cap is removed??

You've got a blown head gasket most likely between No three and four cylinders at the pushrod part.

Like to put ten bob on it ?? LOL

A simple easy if time consuming job.

thats what i want to hear, i can do time consuming at the monent but not expensive  :shock:

next question is paddocks list 3 different head gaskets for the 200tdi, any ideas?

Porny:
If you look underneath glowplugs 3 and 4 (i.e. the ones closest to the bulkhead) you should find a section of the head gasket sticking out slightly (between two protruding sections of the head casting)... have a look to see how many holes are punched in it - then you know which one to order.

The different number of holes highlight the thickness of the head gasket.


And before people start waffling on  :roll:  :wink: ...

Gasket thickness isn't anything to do with the head and compression ratio.

Different gasket thicknesses are for different piston protrusion... i.e. deck heights... the protrusion of the piston from the top of the cylinder block.
(though this is related to compression ratio in a way)

Taken from the workshop manual (for a 300tdi, but process for a 200tdi is the same):

New cylinder head gasket should be same thickness as the original. If, however, cylinder head, pistons or crankshaft have been replaced, it will be necessary to check piston stand proud in order to determine the correct thickness of gasket.

1. Position a magnetic base DTI to cylinder block top face adjacent to number 1 cylinder bore.

2. Position stylus of gauge to cylinder block top face on edge of number 1 cylinder bore; zero gauge.

3. Rotate crankshaft in a clockwise direction until numbers 1 and 4 pistons are at TDC.

4. Position stylus of DTI gauge near edge of piston crown, measure and record number 1 piston stand proud. Measurement must be taken at front and rear of piston and highest protrusion figure recorded.

5. Repeat above procedures for remaining pistons.

6. From all of the readings obtained, determine highest protrusion figure and select the appropriate cylinder head gasket. Protrusion 0.50 to 0.60 mm - select gasket with 1 identification hole. Protrusion 0.61 to 0.70 mm - select gasket with 2 identification holes. Protrusion 0.71 to 0.80 mm - select gasket with 3 identification holes. Protrusion 0.81 to 0.90 mm - select gasket with 0 identification holes. NOTE: Identification holes are located on the edge of the gasket.

7. Remove DTI.

8. Rotate crankshaft in a clockwise direction until all pistons are half-way up cylinder bores.

Has it just started like all of a sudden or has it been getting worse and worse if so how quickly...... Also take off the air filter and listen to see how it sounds. It may sound like its popping on just one cylinder if so there is a poss that you have a broken ring or a hole in a piston.....Its very uncommon in diesels but we have had one...... Go on tell us started to do it all of a sudden or progressivley

muddysteve:
progresively

unknownmanxman:
Yeah.. id put money on the head gasket.... Go for the thinkest head gasket and get the head skimmed! Should do the job!
