Hi All
i noticed the other day a big oil leak on the floor, after doing some digging around its turned out to be the Timing chain tensioner MISSING?? yep missing, if you need to know where to find this on the engine as you look at a td5 from the front, ith a alan bolt about 8 inched down on the front face of the engine to the rightjust above the fan pully...
it looks like someone who changed the timing chain never used thread lock and its worked its way out and gone :crazy:?
the oil was only coming out under pressure so no sign when it was on tick over other than the normal sprayed engine bay.
can anyone tell me are these easy to refit? is it a case of just screwing it back in?
thanks
Steve
