Yeah thats the one lenny, Cheers.... ( Dont spose u got the diagram to replace the water pump as well? )

Can anyone help me with the correct way the belt goes round the pulleys for the water, and power steering pump on a 300 tdi as i went out and bought a haynes manual and found this to be a total waste of time! So if anyone has a diagram or can tell me how they go as i want to put a new water pump...

Cheers muddee, Il give it a go one day this week as it dont sound too bad a job to do.

Cheers yella, dont spose you know how easy it is to do, do i need to remove the other pulleys to take the pump off, because it looks like to me that the bolts may not come out because the others are in the way, if anyone knows HELP me please! lol

I have a 1997 300 tdi, And today i heard a funny noise and when i opened the bonnet the fan belt had slipped off one of the pulleys which is at the top just above the alternator, I was only a couple of mins from home so drove it back and had a better look and by this time the belt had come...

Here goes lenny, If ya look underneath the car towards the rear, you will see the propshaft heading towards the diff, just before it reaches the diff you should see a thick black rubber round "doughnut" as they call it, It has about six bolts going through it and if yours is shagged it will...

Hi Lenny, Im not sure on movement in the rear axle, But the noise just suddenly appeared and when i had the rubber doughnut replaced it was knackered so took no time to ruin it! But i had it replaced by R.J HARVEY(landrovers) in rayleigh ,Essex and the part was 48 quid and with labour and vat...

Well it turns out it was the rubber doughnut between the rear propshaft and the rear diff. I was totally f**cked and had a new one put on today and problem sorted ! Cheers for the advice guy's.....

Nice one guy's thanx for lettin me know what it is, I put a bolt in it but think i'l take it back out......

Ah nice one yella, Cheers matey, il be on the case straight from work.....And here's hoping that quietens it.

Sorry yella, but is it an easy job to do either topping the oil up or puttin molyslip in as i have a few hours spare tommorow so would like to sort this as quickly as possible as the noise is doin me head in ! lol

Cheers yella il give that a go first and see what happens....

Errrrm i would say completely, and then as soon as you accelarate again it comes back.

I have a 300 tdi "p" reg and in the last couple of days a noise has appeared which is like a rumbling wirring kinda sound which happens when driving along and if i take my foot off the accelarator it stops, and starts when i put my foot back on the accelarator it seems more apparent in the rear...

there was no mesh in the hole, just a hole with a thread , so should i leave it open or put a bolt in as i just went out and bought one?
