Fitted a later td5 pedal box to my 300tdi , don't think can get the older type . Pedal height is now adjusted using the m/cyl pushrod
Now is it the 2 lock nuts or the nyloc nut that you adjust move to get the pedal height . Let's assume its the nyloc on the end of of the rod , furthest away from the cylinder .
When you set the pedal height and lock all nuts upto trunnion , can you wiggle freely move the Pushrod or is it firm .
I've just done the above and its firm , ( I must explain here I've modified the p/box and put the old style pedal height adjuster bolt half way up the box front . Not confusing with the later pedal stop bolt 17mm at the bottom , ) Even if I back off the nyloc to the end of the rod and the pedal is so high it hits the roof . So I set the height again , and as I have this modification bolt which I can set pedal height independently with (old style) I gave it 1/2 a turn in and its given me wiggle on the pushrod .
Now ! , If pedal height is adjusted T d 5 type via the m/cyl pushrod only , Is there no wiggle on the pushrod? , no or should there be ? .
Can anyone give me the correct procedure to set it up properly , ie adjust nyloc on the end of the pushrod to set pedal height and then run the lock nuts 2 cylinder side upto the trunnion .
Theres no clear instructions anywhere on this hopefully this thread will Help others as everyone refers to the old way i.e. adjust pedal stop set pedal height and adjust rod leavening free play , But they don't make that type anymore if you have to replace your old worn one . So please No adjust lock nuts as which ??? Lock nuts , Nyloc nut or the other 2 , simple ommision can cause issues for anyone trying to adjust it . Easy When you know , but assume this is an idiot's guide i.e. for me . is there any way to check pushrod free play ? Or is it simple set pedal heiht and forget , yet some say they have had to raise the pedal height to get rid of clutch slip on this later type . Enough off me .
