  1. Ah, I see, yes that is what they are. Thank you. V. expensive for they are. I think I will refabricate something as a bracket at the bottom end.
  2. Hi, I’m working out whether to patch again the rear cross member on ‘95 300tdi or replace the cross member. In poking around underneath I have been trying to identify a couple of rusted brackets and attached tubular members that don’t seem to appear in any of the parts diagrams. The parts in question are tucked right into each rear corner of the cross member, the bracket apparently bolted through the cross member horizontally (though corrosion makes it difficult to be sure), and are attached to a vertical tube which in turn is bolted to the bottom of the tub. On the passenger side the bracket is right by the exhaust hanger. Can anyone tell me what these parts are and whether it is possible to get replacement brackets? many thanks.
  3. I’ve just started my first cambelt change on my 1995 300tdi. I've had it for years, but do very low mileage so have never felt the need to the do the belt until now (I think it was last changed about 12 years and 8,000 miles ago). I’ve got it stripped down and the belt is worn (by about 3mm) on the outside edge with black dust in the case; it’s got the old style idler (with flange) and crank pulley (without flange). There is no yellow square on the timing case or cover. I have therefore concluded that the modification has not been done (chassis number says the full mod would have been required).I have a Britpart timing belt kit which includes a new idler (no flange) and crank pulley (with flange).I would rather not have to buy another kit which includes the full mod, including timing case and injector pump bracket.My question is, therefore, can I just use the kit I have with the modified idler and pulley or must I use these with the modified timing case etc? Or if I don’t want to do the full mod do I have to use old style idler and pulley? The vehicle will continue to do very low mileage (a few hundred/year). Thank you.
