Wading Plugs

Martin110:
I have 300TDi and i was wondering where i can find my wading plugs?

Also should i remove them if they are there as i VERY rarely go in deep water for prolonged periods of time?

Any help much appreciated

zulublue:
Hi Martin, on my 200TDi 1 is in the bottom of the bell housing and 1 in the bottom of the timing chest, I would imagine the same for a 300tdi, 13mm socket needed.

I ran without them in for ages but I started doing more deep water wading so now keep them in and remove them once a month or the day after some deep stuff.

Mark.

clbarclay:
Whether you go wading or not they will need removing atleast every once in a while to make sure oil isn't leaking into the bell housing and building up round the clutch. A friend left his plugs in for about a year and some crud still got into the bell housing and caused his clutch to sieze.

Later 300 TDi don't have the timing case wading plug. They have a built in breather and very small drainage hole.

My 300 has two 10mm ones.

One at the bottom of the timing cover, and one in the bell housing.
