same turbo for both 200TDI and 300TDI isn't it? what would you want for it?

200TDI turbo wanted in yorkshire area, will be willing to collect up to 50miles of selby. Turbo will be used for an overhaul project/test of skill/spares. Many thanks

thats not knackered....thats f*@ked!!:eek:

you could recondition it yourself, could edn up being cheaper, but without a turbo for a wee while http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f48/jackuals-200tdi-turbo-rebuild-guide-92448.html

oh sh1t, that is not good, bet its even more heartbreaking to watch for real! so hows this caused? does the lack of waste gate pressure force the fuel pump to keep pouring more fuel into the engine? cos i know theres a pipe from the waste gate of the turbo to the fuel pump on the 200TDI, but...

my first guess would be turbocharger bearing is going. my second would be head gasket. anyone else want to verify this?

sorted this: either axle stub gasket had completely disintgrated or was never fitted. New on fitted (#1) replaced hub oil seal(#7) bearings were found to be rusty, as were racers, so those came out and replaced. gasket around half-shaft to hub fitted.(#6) cos the bearings had rust on them, I...

well, you get what you pay for. Just making an observation.....the debris looks REALLY dry. could it be you used non-high temp grease? not dening that yes, they are low quality, but could there be another contribtuing factor?

mate...just...unplug your internet cos you don't know how to read, or know sh1t about forums. also if your contradicting terms "defender" and "jeep", then you also don't know sh1t about cars, let alone 4x4's.

any experience with engines means you got head start!

huh....well they must have undercharged me last time I got the micra done :D

Me boys due on 17th of june.....Prior to this we were having "that dissucsion" where we take in the financial implications of having a little one. I'd bought me B.B. (Big Blue - 90 cab truck hybrid) in sept of last year and found out shortly after that we were expecting - naturally, and...

yes you are! to both! I was like you when I got mine...but I ain't afraid of graft! consider this: at franchise garages (Bosch for example) can charge up to £20 an hour for labour. Parts are F*@k all and get even cheaper if you can be arsed to pull em out of a donor. New parts depend on...

:dnfnoob: all i want to know is WTF was the guy who approved that drinking/smoking/prescribed. ground clearance = **** you won't be able to mod it lieka defender, I can bet you a left nut they'll have an "enclosed engine bay" where only a "certified technician" will be able to "service" it...

if you have a goosey in LRO, there are some going for £900 i think. read an article on the ones for sale. 4 ton as its been uparmoured, but the armor may have come off. They will have seen hell and the inside will show it (ripped up dash, bodged mods, wiring hanging out) they still have their...

yeh but don't give the right to hi-jack someone else's thread. ignorance is no excuse, read rules. Back to original topic, sounds quiet bad, there shoudn't be any sensors on a 200tdi should there? unless your handbrake cables got wrapped round part or the chassis or a bit of debris stick in...

its more for mechanical diagnositc really. using madhats water level mod and this you could figure out if you've got no water or if the pumps fooked at a glance or without speculating.

I'll put a whistle on it instead then!!!:D

true but I'd like to catch it befoer it goes boily boily!:D The switches I'm planing to use have a min flow rate to push a diaphram to close the switch.

so you reckon its a pointless job then?
