Hello All, I have been fighting to get my 300tdi running right after a cambelt snap on the motoway. In the process of doing the belt I had to take off the cam pulley to get all the broken belt out but now I have a suspicion that the cam timing is out as its very sluggish and drinking fuel...

Cheers mate, I was more wondering if the valve clearances in the head need to be different than 0.20mm if I have put a thinner gasket on?

Hello All, please can someone tell me if the valve clearance going from a 3 hole to a 2 hole should be any different?

I have yes, it was as I thought all ok but I will double check it.

The problem I have is the lack of power, with it being an Auto, I am having to put more throttle in causing the gearbox to constantly kickdown, even down to 1st as 15-20mph and cant get above 60mph on the motorway unless foot to the floor. I will do that and keep digging, thanks.

I dont get any smoke which is why i think I am under fueling. Prior to the cambelt snapping it was usually over fuel smoke (grey/black) under heavy acceleration but not clouds.

If the cam is out would this affect the lift pump as well becasue I think its under fuelling too and the IP advanced as far as I can without check engine light

Yes, its definately a valving issue which is why i wondered if the cam might be a tooth out or something

Or this

Thanks, not much helps there though :) This is the noise I am getting

I have adjusted and re-adjusted the valves I dont know how many times and watched them carefully whilst its running and they all seem good.

Hello All, I have recently had a cambelt snap and after refitting everything I am having a popping noise though the snorkel. I have replaced the head complete with valves etc, had 2 damaged pushrod sliders all replaced but now I am down on power and I think its fuel related, could the cam be a...

No, the 4th injector on an EDC is bigger than the rest FYI so I have found

Thanks, I will measure it against one of the others when it stops ****ing it down! I cant get the bugger to seal either.

Not that I can see, its sticking up at least 5mm more than the rest which I dont know if its normal as this is the one with the wire in.

Anyone?

Evening all, I have had to take the injectors out due to replacing valves but when I put injector 4, the one with the wire back in it sits prouder than the rest, is this normal?

Afternoon all, I need to do a compression test on a 300tdi, I have the Fourby compression tester kit but there are loads of different lengths of probes, any idea which one to use? Non are the same length as the glowplugs.

Evening people. I have recently recovered from a cambelt failure and put everything back together etc but for some reason it feels like its being held back (like hand brake being on a bit) until you put your foot to the floor and its goes fine. It was stood for 4 weeks, and with the engine...

Hello All, I have just replaced all the rocker arms, shaft etc and cambelt to a new kit after a failure. The problem I am having is it is hard to start now and when its cold it doesnt have the usual diesel rattle, its sounds like the engine does when its warm, is this a timing issue or more...
