Hi all, im new on here so appologize if this is in the wrong place!
Firstly I have just been servicing my 200tdi 90 and one of the rocker cover securing bolts has snapped(not me who overtightend it, must have been the previous owner) therefore i cant check the valve clearances, it may just be a simple job of drilling it out but im thinking that shards of metal inside the engine is a definate nono, so just wondered what you suggest i do?? Secondly i came to change the oil but couldnt get the drain plug out, now there is a bit of a leak from the sump so im thinking i might change the sump gasket and as a result of taking the sump off, the engine oil will drain, and i may be able to get the drain plug out when the sump is in my hands, i appreciate this may not be the cleanest method but as the sump is leaking i thought i may aswell do it, so what kind of a job is removing the sump, seems quite simple in my haynes but your opinions would be great.
Thanks Oli
