300tdi timing cover ouch

[Series71]

Having a look at my scrap timing cover and found these grooves in it.Is this due to the cam belt failure or summit else ?

looks like the result of an 'Old' style cam belt drive pulley. where there were no shoulders on the drive pulley and the belt would wander...the newer ones had shoulders on the pulley to prevent this happening.

does you drive pulley have shoulders? if so it's been upgraded at some time and those score marks are from the first time, if not Refit with the upgraded kit.

As was mentioned by Daft in yur uvva fred, early 300tdi motors had a tendancy to eat timing belts due to some misalignment. I would say this is very good evidence that yurs is/was misaligned.


Fancy havin a replacement belt kit sat on the shelf for 18 months and not fittin it :doh: Now get outside an fix the bloody thing, we don't want anuvva Tufftee saga do we????

Thought yu said yur new kit includes pullys. Do they have a raised edge to guide the belt or are they the same as the one in the pic??
