I'm doing my timing belt and understand i need a dial gauge or beam torque wrench to rotate the tensioner bracket so i can then secure the nut in place. The only ones i can find online go up to 9Nm or 300Nm, neither are appropriate for a 15Nm application. So what do you guys use? A click...

Seems it's part EER4173. My parts book only showed EER4576

Anybody help? I need to order up parts. This bearing in place of the seal is confusing me....

300tdi I have a leak from behind the camshaft crank gear. Is the seal I need ERR3356? Along with a new gear LHH100660? Looking at the belt cover, there is a bearing in it, but all I can see online is seals (ERR4576 and ERR4575?). What do I need for here? See photo. Also, when I took off the...

is there a list of parts in this kit anywhere? I have it, used some parts, but have no idea what the rest is for. Looking for crankshaft inner and outer seals. I can see similar in this kit, but not sure if it's them or not?

300tdi out a disco, but a FIP off an old 300tdi (which has the shim for the holding bolt). How do i know what lift to use? I've read 1.4, 1.56 but also 1.6... Thanks

Cool, so i take it that the pump has one full cycle for a 360 degree turn? so as long as the slot lines up and dial gauge shows correct lift, i'm sorted?

Large nut is still there with the black wheel which has the notch for the timing pin / 9.5mm drill bit. But the notch is not in line just now and the pump hasnt been locked using the side bolt.

I have a VE FIP, but I know it was taken off the old engine without being timed. The engine was not at TDC – the pump was just unbolted. The new engine is locked at TDC. Having read up and watched videos, I understand that fuel is supplied to each port in the pump on 90 degree rotations, so...

Kit arrived today. Does anybody know what these bits are for (blue circle)? They are metal tubes. There are no instructions and i cant find the answer online.

Ah ok, i see the injector reference now that i read it properly! I ordered up the injector removal kit. As you say, there is a lot of the injector body still in thre, so i'm hopefully in a lucky place where its not too far down the hole. I dont see the need to put it to a shop yet, i'm going...

Thanks for the replies. Yes, the glow plug sheared off below the threaded section. I saw kits online but i wasnt sure what size tap i'd need to tap the remaining section and use a puller to remove. I did read of the bullet proof vest option.... @Ratae , what did you mean be 'slacken off the...

anybody know the size of tap required to remove a snapped glow plug? Want to make sure I get the right kit!

one is earth, one is for low fuel light and one for the gauge? But what way round? Leaver at the bottom (empty) shows 3/4 tank on gauge. Move to full and gauge shows full. At empty position the low fuel light comes on as expected. How do I identify if the issue is the gauge or the sender for...

Ordered a boost gauge. Checked fuel lines tonight and none of them are blocked (like I kinda hoped!)

@jamesmartin thanks. I tested via the glow plugs and got values of 420 to 440psi. Seems a bit high as the manual suggests around 360. Are my figures a concern?

I just like to know my options I can use the glow plug adaptor, but as I already pulled an injector I wanted to use that

Ok, so an update with no resolution! Timing was out, so i sorted that Fuel lift pump has a mesh filter, it was full of rubbish, so cleared that I checked all the pipes from teh tank to lift pump, filter to diesel injector and return, all look ok and the correct way round On the lift pump, i can...

300tdi. My understanding of the Fourby kit was that it came with the correct dummy parts Its got a 114mm dummy injector, 64mm and a 75mm. But they are all threaded one end with the gauge push fit at the other, so i dont understand how to install these

Thanks. Any hints on how to put in the dummy injector if I go that route?
