200 tdi cam bearings

(1/5) > >>

range17:
Is it possible to check to see if the cam bearings have moved in my 200tdi, giving me low oil pressure .
Cheers Rob

Les Henson:
I think you'll only be able to see the edge of the one behing the camshaft sprocket. If they have moved sideways as well you might be able to see that through the pushrod holes. Otherwise I think you may need to remove the camshaft itself.

Having just had the same problem, except on a 300tdi.
Its possible to see the cam and bearings through the 2 plates on the side of the engine, this is very awkward to see clearly.
Best thing to do is as above remove the cam, the bearings; as in my case, with the side pieces removed didnt show the bearings moved.
Only when i removed the cam and the bearing fell out was it definatly down to the bearings.

Mutz:
What is your oil pressure?

range17:
Sorry for this late reply ,computer packed up,the oil pressure is very low on tick over and not much better with revs when oil is warm .
Done so much work on it since it drowned very annoying to still see low pressure .
