200tdi valve stem oil seals?

(1/2) > >>

ferret:
Can they be changed at the same time as fitting new springs etc without removing the head?

extreme90:
the head needs to be removed to change the springs aswel as stem seals
unless you have a secret way of holding the valves in place whilst compressing the spring enough to remove the collet  :?  :?

ive heard of string being stuffed into the cylinders before now to stop the need of having to remove the head  :lol:

Thats  a shame as i wanted to change the valve stem caps and springs and seals while i was at it as mine are makeing a right racket now.
Are there any good links to look at about 200tdi head removal that you know of.

extreme90:
errm common sense ?
seriously do not look at the haynes man, itll scare you into thinking its hard when its a doddle
drain coolant off
remove the inlet manifold completely
remove front zaust pipe, then unbolt the manifold and pull the whole lot off to the side
undo injectors,leak off rail and glowplug wire
undo heater matrix pipes
remove rocker cover
remove any relivant breather pipes
then undo all the kin tight bolts
and as they say..off with his head  :lol:  :lol:

of course thats very basic description of what is involved, but its o so easy  8)
there are some things that im bound to have missed somewhere, but there pleant here to give advice and help over fone if needed  8)
