I think my cambelt had snapped

(1/3) > >>

Axetamer:
I've just come back from getting some parts for my brakes(90 TDI), but about 200yards from home suddenly lost the motor. It turns over but seems to lack compression, a bit like turning a petrol over with no plugs in.

I've tried taking the wading plug out to see if anything is visible trough the hole, but only succeeded in rounding the corners of the bolt off.

I've  loosened one of the injector pipes and tuned it over but no diesel appears at the union.

I'm waiting on the missus to reappear so I can watch the rockers through the oil filler to confirm my fears

Are these 200 tdi motors prone to bending the valves if the belt does snap?

i know a few people that have had the cambelt snap on a 200tdi and  all they do is bend the pushrods
just time it back up and put 8 new push rods in it and it will fire

Axetamer:
My fears were correct, the missus cranked it over and no movement from the rockers.

So I've just been on to paddocks and ordered:

546799 ...8 pushrods (just in case)
ERR 1632..cover plate seal
ERR2393...rocker gasket
timing belt kit..Belt, tension-er and  2 gaskets

Tomorrow, I'll whip the rocker cover off and check for any further damage...

I'm lucky it didn't happen yesterday when offroading

Axetamer:
I can't get the bottom pully bolt undone, tried  heat, tried the starter trick...anybody want to buy a defender?

Rich_P:
You may find rockers or rock shaft(s) also broken.

I do not think you should apply heat to the bottom pulley on a 200TDi, for last I was aware they are the dampening type.  So you might also now need to be on the look out for another pulley.
