300tdi Head gasket ??

(1/6) > >>

loony landy:
My disco has died and it points to the head gasket failing so i am thinking of doing it myself.  Got full photo instructions and seem quite easy to do but the haynes manual says there are 3 thicknesses of gasket you can use  :'(

Which one do i get ??  Dont want to put it back together and find its been done wrong and goes again  :angry:

Anybody done there own ??

cheers



tony

J.D.:
Measure the piston protudence (Sp?) and then use the following guide.
200Tdi & 300Tdi cylinder head gasket sizes

1 hole 1.30mm ----- ERR5261 for piston protrusion between 0.50 to 0.60mm
2 hole 1.40mm ----- ERR5262 --------------------------------- 0.61 to 0.70mm
3 hole 1.50mm ----- ERR5263 --------------------------------- 0.71 to 0.80mm
NO holes 1.60mm -- ERR7154 ------------ if higher than 0.80mm use the NO HOLE gasket.

Disco-Ron:
The other option if you can, is to see what gasket you take off.... and simply buy either the same one, or the slightly thicker one to be on the safe side.....

loony landy:
cheers for that one its off i will look for the marks and take it from there  :dance:

Just remember to torque it back up again then angle the bolts
