300 Tdi Rebuild

My "Flinger" came loose somehow, had to remove the pulley and refit using a bogger hammer to make sure it was home.

Only reason I asked about the torque was that the stud is actually done to quite a low torque, about 9 months ago someone over torqued it on here and managed to cause themselves a bit of a mare.

I've always known them as a mud shield...flinger sounds plausible too...

As for the stud for the idler/tensioner - I couldn't find a torque required for the stud, but the nut is done up to 45N.m ....that being said, the use of thread lock will increase the break-free torque regardless of the torque you did it up too. Just don't over do it up!

Oh spot on that man.....what page is that on as I couldn't see it in the torque list?

EDIT: Scratch that fecking found it now.....well done that man!

OK, I could google it, but what is a bogger hammer?
What mare did they cause?


I doubt I got it to 45N.m, but it was reasonably tight and with a good amount of thread lock on it. Interestingly, the nut that came with this kit has a nyloc insert. The one I took off didn't? Which is normal?

There was a new member who put out a cry of help, they managed to strip the thread by overtorqueing it. Ended up drilling , and using a helicoil.

All good fun.

300tdi Engine torque list.... We discussed this before ref your write up that you put together.

A bogger hammer, is a bigger hammer than the one you used before, without defining the use of a bigger hammer, if that makes sense...LOL

Stud is to 10N.m as per the excerpt Neilly posted....

Nyloc nuts are used in anti-vibration applications, there are white ones and blue ones most commonly, Blue is Metric, White is imperial....there are other clolurs for more specialist applications. It is the Torque that will hold the fastner in place, the polymer insert will prevent it from vibrating loose.

If you want in the morning I can check mine, maybe get a piccie, But yes it is an interference fit.

Where mine was loose and rattling I actually have a nice groove in the outer cover....
Took the pulley off, gave the flinger a bit of a boggering with a hammer and refitted.

In the Manana I will take a piccie.

Not sure, but are they not only under normal engine oil pressure?300 Tdi Rebuild

I checked mine this week and it was 3.5 Bar.

very little as they are open to the sump

Is the feed not under pressure, James?
Would it be sensible to change them or clean them up?

jamesmartin said:

just give it a clean if its undamaged they sometimes become crimped and so restricted
the feed is at normal oil pressure,the same with it
