Yes, all removed and well cleaned before refit

Hi all, We recently did a rebuild of sorts on a 300tdi which was really just a freshen up with new rings and bearings in the end. Anyhow, upon starting there was no oil pressure. This was confirmed with a mechanical gauge, where we got absolutely no pressure at all. Cranking with the oil...

So I ended up getting my hands on both styles of seal but lo and behold neither are going to fit... I think the shell of the old seal may still be in there- I had written this off as a possibilty as I thought the old seal was entirely rubber. I've been rough trying to shift it but with no...

I took the dipstick out and put it in there. They are very simple contraptions- you can even make one yourself but it was cheap to buy. Extremely useful for finding all sorts of leaks. I hooked it up to a compressor, it has its own pressure regulator that keeps the pressure very minimal. Not...

Yes, ERR4576 and ERR4173 are definitely for the front cover and not the timing case (which is ERR4575). It was apparently a supplier update and the cover itself was never altered at any point (which means the new one should fit into any cover...) Here's a question for you- I excitedly hooked...

Thanks! Yes it is curious that given it's a supposed update the best around such as Turners stock the old design. It is simply too large to fit into the recess in the cover (by about 4mm), so even though they are theoretically interchangable, I should probably cut my losses and sources and old...

Just wondering how you all went fitting your seal? I reliably established (through Turners) that ERR7143 was an update to ERR4576 and fully interchangeable. I also confirmed that it should be fitted like so with the rubber side against the inside of the front cover. However it doesn't fit...
