[pre heat /glow plug trouble]

After a bit more advise guys ,

Rebuilt my 300tdi engine ,when it was refitted the glow plug light worked intermitantly , ie when starting from cold ,sometimes it would work other times not !

Is there a temp sensor to energise the relay ? the wiring loom around the engine isnt the best with a few brittle wires (due too the heat) ,but the glow plugs them selves are new .

cheers for any tips , mike

[Bleeding clutch slave cylinder]

yea no worries ,i would go with a quality make . Nothing worse than having to do the job again after a short time due to poor quality parts !

[Bleeding clutch slave cylinder]

Not touched the master cylinder ,its probably original . For some reason there was some plumbers ptfe tape wrapped round the filler cap tho !

when i was refitting the original slave cylinder the rubber boot was torn and generally looked a bit manky and i pushed the piston back in with my finger .

Anyway i finish the engine install and have no clutch only a pedal stuck to the floor! , so change the slave for a new (lucas)one .

Anyway i will elevate the front end and try bleeding again , if its still the same i will have to fork out for anew master cylinder i guess .

cheers Mike

[Bleeding clutch slave cylinder]

Cheers guys , yea it is the right way up ,nipple on top !

May have to invest in an easyblead then. I suppose a bit of air might be trapped in the damper thingy ?

[Bleeding clutch slave cylinder]

After rebuilding my 300 tdi engine fitted a new clutch and slave cylinder .

Have bled it ,using a one man kit and allso reverse bled using an oil can with tube attached onto the bleed nipple .

I can only get half a pedal tho , ie theres no resistance till the pedal is halfway to the floor . Having said that the clutch seems to work fine .

Anyway any advice would be welcome , cheeers Mike

[viscous fan pulley bearing]

Hi , my 300TDI fan pulley bearing is noisy / rough when spun. Having had the timing cover off to change the timing belt i noticed there was a plastic cap where the bearing is situated in the cover . Has anyone changed the bearing sucessfully ?

I dont fancy buying a comlete new cover , needless to say the haynes manual is very quiet on the subject .

cheers Mike
