200 tdi timing problems

<< < (2/4) > >>

Tommo:
supose you will just have to pull an injector out.

jimthelandyman:
Good thinking tom my head has come to a grinding halt just can't think, it has to be my motor that has some wierd set up.

Tommo:
yeah flywheel not quite on right. Although with it having a timing mark i would have thought there would have been a dowel or somthing.

jimthelandyman:
I'm going to give it a go using the tdc mark on my bottom pulley this time and see if it work. I am so desperate to get my landy backon the road lol.

Range Rover Blues:
I'd suggest you check very carfully where TDC really is, if you get it worng then the pistons will hit the valves.  As it is with a coat of soot on the pistons kiss the head.

Just had a thought, bear with me.

The valves are vertical aren't they :-k

Put the engine to where you think is TDC then push one of the valves down 'till it kisses the piston, if you don't remove the valve spring you'll have to find some way of holding the rocker.

Move the crank clockwise until the valve moves down almost completely, so that you can measure it.  Mark the crank pulley or flywheel against the static mark.

Spin the engine until the valve tries to lift again vbecause the piston has kissed it, mark this point on the pulley too.

Release the valve and return the engine to TDC.  Halfway between the 2 marks you made (above) will be TDC.

Obvioulsy it's not as accurate as removing the head and using a DTI (use that anyway if you have one) but it will confirm or deny the marks you are unsure about, with some accuracy.
