suggs Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 91 200tdi mines playing up either very slow or not turning at all, had a quick look at removing it but looks like a right pain to get to as manifold is in the way and its very close to the bulkhead. any tips cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Drop the downpipe off and you can get access. It is still a PITA though. Use plenty of extension bars on your ratchets. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JST Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 as Chris says drop the downpipe and that will make life alot easier. 3 bolts/nuts holding it on. mine packed up the week after my fingers jumped in a mower, now that wasn't fun trying to change it with one hand!!! have you checked the earth leads - were the refitted after taking the boxes out etc?

suggs Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 only had a quick peek as just had a baby new years day so been a bit busy lol, but couldnt see the earths. are they hidden behind something. the problem started just before i done the boxes so wasnt that, but i got well stuck in very deep mud a week before and it started soon after that as did the transfer box problems..

dan9090 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 but i got well stuck in very deep mud a week before and it started soon after that as did the transfer box problems.. i suffered from the same - when i did get it out and recon'd i was told it was full of muck. we're you using a wading plug on the bell housing? i wasn't which apparently contributed to the ingress of muck. i needed new solenoid and new clutch drive assembly as it wouldn't engage with the flywheel. yes... tricky things to get at , some of the nuts i found best to approach from below so you may want to consider that. I'm a 2.5TD but guessing pretty similar.... the earth is marked as #7 in the pic below. this pic is with the manifold removed however so yes it is pretty much behind that.... good luck.

Milemarker Type S Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Funnily enough I have just removed mine... One one wire on a spade terminal to remove, one 13 mm nut to undo to get the live wires off... tricky to get at... and then one 17mm nut on a stud (bottom middle ish), one 17 mm nut and bolt (top right ish when viewed from the front) ,and one 13mm bolt (top left when viewed from the front)- absolute pain in the @rse to get to... I already had the exhaust down pipe off, the floor out and the transmission tunnel out as I am doing the rear main seal... and it was still a pig of a job. I also had to unclip the air box to get the damn thing out as it will not fit between the engine and chassis rail... Not a happy bunny !
