    pistons

    because there is hardly any clearance for the end of the conrod in the bore its a git. if the conrod is bent it wont come out on its own. I was lucky enough to use an air hacksaw. manged to wedge the end of the rod with a bit of wood then cut 1 side of the rod off. took about 10 mins in total...

    More heater problems!!!!

    Has the sealant blocked your matrix somehow. Maybe a good flush out will improve things.

    Is my turbo shot?

    Ah thanks for the offer but I don't think it fits without some major mods. Gonna look into getting this one rebuilt. Failing that it's a new jobby. Would try eBay but if there is one there more than likely it's buggered to.

    Is my turbo shot?

    My 200tdi smokes every now and then when it gets hot. The smoke smells of oil. I took the injection pump boost diaphragm out to check the pin inside. When I undid the 4 screws on the cover oil pored out. Cleaned it all up but Shen I checked again yesterday the oil had started to build up again...

    Testing injectors whilst on vehicle.

    my 2.5 td smoked white smoke like a good en when i got it. thought it was the head gasket or an valve stem oil seal. when i got the head off turned out I had a bent conrod. am guessing who owned it before must have gone swimming and hydrolocked the piston. new conrod and pistons cured it until...

    practically new 19j td std pistons and other bits

    just before i replaced my 19j td with a 200tdi i rebuilt the engine in the hope of getting the thing going again. it worked fine for 5 miles and an hour ticking over outside my house while i did the last bits for the mot. then the head gave up and turned my nice quiet diesel into a 3 cylinder...
