strange oil pressure
muddysteve:
i was told
"my 200Tdi's dipstick tube top edge [dipstick removed] is 290mm from the top face of the large retianer nut."
so thats what i set mine too, takes nigh on 7l of oil to filler up.
tonycougar:
Thanks for that. I'll measure mine then.
tonycougar:
Hmmm. Oddly enough. Mine measured less than 290mm.
I have also heard that some of the 200tdi's had smaller sumps that only took 5 litres.
Wasn't too bothered until you told me it should be 290mm now I'm concerned I've been running it too low on the oil.
tonycougar:
Had another look today, and found the dipstick tube was loose, so my conclusion is that the dipstick tube has slipped down, think its been doing it slowly everytime I check the oil.
Now I need to know if that 290mm is correct or not.
ANYBODY!!
tonycougar:
I can see I'm going to end up draining and refilling here. Just so I know whats in there. Then I can set my dipstick accordingly.
The only trouble there is whether there is any truth in my second question.
