Jon White Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Anyone got an thoughts for a source for a tourque converter for a 300Tdi? I've tried all sorts of places and no one seems to have one! Every gearbox place I've tried doesnt have one, Ashcrofts are apparently out of stock, all the breakers I've treid dont have one etc etc etc........ I've even tried equicar - no joy there...... Where else to try? Any ideas? Ta! Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 /feeling in pockets for loose change,looking behind the sofa for more change/ main $tealers?

Jon White Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Thanks - sent emails to both. Main stealers will probably want more than the car is worth for a new one!!!! Cheers Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 The stealers won't have one anyway - most Tdi auto suff can't be had for love or money! What's happened to the existing one? Is it worth sweet talking Ashcrofts into rebuilding it for you? That's probably the cheapest option by far even if you can find one. Other option, although expensive, is to get an M&D Tdi to V8 autobox conversion and then get a V8 bellhousing and TC. However that won't be cheap!

Jon White Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Quite simply the existing one leaks! I cant see any obvious reason as to why it leaks, but it does! I took it out, sat it on the bench and filled it to the brim with ATF. By morning I had a torque converter sitting in a huge pool of oil! I've had a note from Ashcrofts - they expect to have some in stock again next week so if i cant find anything before then thats the way I'll go!

Jon White Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 Sorted..........ordered one from Ashcrofts....... Interestingly out of all the re-conditioners I tried, Ashcrofts were also the cheapest! Cheers Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
