Hi Jonathan
Got the stat along with a load of other bits so probably not genuine.The jiggly thing looked a bit different from the one that came out:eek:
De EGRd and De catted my 300tdi
My advice is go for the Flexi version on the pipe-a bit more expensive but much easier to fit plus it cuts down on vibration a bit too:D
Plumbing tape -now thers an idea:D
So with the brass plugs if I put on an O ring,then some tape then some Hylomar blue it will never leak-or probably never be removable:D:D
Cheers Discool
Now at least I know what id does:D
Am fitting nice new brass bungs as well
Pity they came with the wrong O rings ie bigger than the thread on the bung:mad:
Daft question all-when you replace the thermostat is the jiggle thingy at 12 oclock or aligned with the small cut out on the housing at around 3 mins to 12:D
If I remember from the handbook the DimDip is not used if the landy has headlamp levelling:D which mine has (1995 300tdi ) but the actual resistor is fitted to the bulkhead:eek:
My own experience with the 300tdi is it will start with NO Glows working.
I would investigate further like a fuelling problem maybe:eek:
Im sure someone will have the answer on here somewhere:D
Another daft question
I have bought some Hylomar sealant (the blue stuff) as I am going to change some gaskets on the engine and hubs etc -300tdi
Can you use the same stuff on the water pump and P gaskets as well
Cheers
Paul:D
Good point mate
Couldnt find a part No for it so left it alone.As its on the top it probably will last better than the other two seals:D
Top bolt was also Very Very tight
Hi all
I cleaned out my sedimenter at the week end and to be honest it wasent too bad-just a bit of yellowy brown stuff.
My advice is get two new seals if you do the job.
When I seperated the two parts of the bowl that seal was really bad:eek:
The seals only cost a few Euro and better safe than...
There is a fuse - on one of the satelite fuse boxes (F6 I think) attached to the main fuse board which supplies the interior lights-that might be gone:)
Did the whole lot on my 300tdi Disco last week
Got he De cat pipe with flexi + centre silencer + tail pipe with exhaust from Paddocks
Hardest part was the 3 nuts that hold the down pipe to the manifold (they were tight and 5/16 from memory)
Used grinder to cut off tail pipe and centre box...
From my own experience of doing this take out the whole ERG and put a blanking plate on the manifold and new hose from intercooler to inlet manifold.You can get a complete kit on Ebay-plate ,new gasket and hose.
Worked for me and looks good too.:D
