200Tdi timing belt question!

<< < (2/2)

Katenrob,

Sounds like your timing belt is a tooth out. It is possilble for a 200Tdi to run like that but it will be very flat........feels like a split turbo hose but obviously doesn't sound like it ;)

katenrob:
Thats the word "FLAT". Hopfully  i will be doing it this weekend so with a bit of luck it will sort it out
Thanks once again

if the belt is over tentioned it will be flat aswel  :wink:
make sure you get it right....
tip.....
dont refit everything then start up, change belt, check check and double check, then fit the timing cover on, put a couple of bolts in (litrally), slip the crank damper back on and just tweak the bolt up

then give it a brief run, start it with NO glowplugs, it should fire up instantly like the 200's do, have a friend check for smoke output and give it a gut full !!

that my way of checking its all ok, the switch off and refit everything properly.....saves building it back up to find out somethings slipped 1 tooth

btw if you havent done it before, the bottom crank bolt is megger f**k off tight  :shock:
i usualy use a breaker bar and wedge it against the underside of the driverside chassis leg and then just give it a quick blip on the key, the starter motor have just enough torque init to crack the bolt loose....o btw disconect the fuel stop 1st  :wink:
