200 tdi cambelts..what are the differences

<< < (2/4) > >>

Blakey:
Im about to do mine on my 300tdi n these have the same problem of 2 different kits so i rang paddocks gave them my chassis number and the told me which kit to get. however i also learned that the 300s had a mod done on the earlier models n the mod was a different shaped tensioner. maybe its the same case for you.

extreme90:
the 200 disco and defender belt set ups are different
did they send you a defender belt ?
as the defender is shorter as it doesnt have a idler pulley only a tentioner

the belts are usualy tight to fit on a disco, most of the time you cant fit them without removing the tentioner then fitting it when the belt it in place

for a belt so snap within 200miles its either over tentioned or its been levered on with a screwdriver

what age is your 300
afink 97 on the crank pully mod was done

but all 300s should now be running on the updated pullys as they should have had there belts done
usualy they have a yellow marker on the timing case to indicate this

to be on the safe side i'd be ordering the updated belt kit

well i went and seen mm about my belt..there is only one for a 200.
the part number of the broken one was correct...so i brought another belt..
i have just fitted the new belt and it went on a piece of cake
something amiss here..they are sending off the snapped belt to be checked because although the part numbers were the same the 1st one was shorter!!!!!!


anyhow im up and running now all ready for the weekend at telford
