Did you rev the engine up while stationary and in neutral? Test with the serpentine belt off too. I had a similar noise and it turned out to be the alternator

Yeah take belt off and try again, have a good look around the front of the engine, sounds like metal on metal. Could be a loose bracket hitting a pulley, the heat shield on the turbo...

Check the bolts holding the rocker shaft have been properly torqued down after the head gasket got changed. I would also double check the valve clearances.

It's gone to a good home!

Hi Landyzoners, I'm looking for a bit of advice with an annoying ticking noise that has started on my 300tdi. As you can hear in the video, it happens when I rev the engine up, and stops/quietens down when at idle speed. I had a feel around the back of the block for a head gasket leak but...

I have a 1989 Ninety, in the process of fitting a centre console, and I want to get rid of the switches that control the dash/interior light/hazard by my right knee. Am I ok to just solder a new feed from the headlight switch and connect it to the wire that switches the dash lights on? That...

My dads TD5 had the exact same issues. It hasn't done it for a few years now, but the long cranking time seemed to be caused by low fuel in the tank, iirc it only did it when the fuel level was below a quarter on the gauge, but we never "proved" it, was just an observation. Our mechanic changed...

Hi chaps, I have an unusual technical question regarding the later type of rear wiper motor part number AMR3676. I had an idea to take it out and use it in another application. The trouble is I would need to swap the direction of the wipe to make it fit. They wipe from the bottom in an anti...

Ohhhh I see. In that case I will leave it as it is regarding adjustment, but I will do as you describe and bleed the system again. Thanks!

So I decided to try a LOF clutch master cylinder and I can absolutely say that the difference it's made has been well worth it, the pedal is now lovely and light to press down. I've bled the system and did a test drive and the biting point feels as it was with the old clutch and there is a bit...

Thanks for the replies guys! That makes sense that they are rivet holes! I did contact Turners and they got back to me 5 minutes later, and it was 9pm, great customer service! Going to keep the Victor Reinz gasket and see if I can fit it this weekend

Hey all, I am currently replacing the head gasket on my 300tdi. I bought this one: https://www.turnerengineering.co.uk/lvb500200-head-gasket-c2x28815408 from Turners. On inspection, it has holes around the edge of the gasket that are not present on the old composite gasket (which looks like...

How much do you need to lower it by to get through the gate? you could look into lowered springs that can reduce the height by 1-2 inches. Tyre size? Could get a few more cm down with smaller sidewalls.

Yeah, it does seem like a lot of work getting the engine out for such a tiny bit of oil. It's not exactly pouring out like some I've seen on here, I see a couple of drips on the tarmac after a long journey, hardly any after short journeys. Maybe I should count my blessings and leave well enough...

Could it be the exhaust? I had a similar problem a few months ago, tightening the bolts on the joints fixed the noise.

Had a good look in the drain hole and it looks clean and dry. Never seen any drips of oil from there since I changed the rear seal last year. Will purchase some cleaner and go from there!

Hey guys, I'm trying to trace the source of an oil leak on my 300tdi. As you can see from the pic, there always seems to be two small blobs of oil on the bottom of the housing for the flywheel. Changed the rear main seal last year for one from Turners, am fairly confident it isn't that. I'm...

With the prop shaft disconnected it is exactly the same unfortunately.
