WESTENDER Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Nobody laugh right! 2000 2 litre diesel how do you get the b%^$ly engine bay under tray off? i took the two [rounded off] bolts out off the rear brackets it would not move, bought a Haynes manual, so vague it did not help. Our workshops had a Td4 up on ramps for a clutch so i asked the fitter doing the job, he apparently had to drill out rivets ? i dont think thats right surely? i only want to change my oil and filters but i dont want to break anything by forcing it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Mine had a couple of bolts holding it just under the front bumper, a couple at the sides (I think) and the ones at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustymark Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Its an easy job given other things that can go wrong..... 2 x bolts at front near bumper 2 x screws through plastic either side of bumper at front 4 x bolts on rear brackets (sod these as you need a good quality spanner - can't get a socket on easily) 2 x smaller bolts on rear which are prob well rusted. I removed all mine - cleaned up where I could then replaced some with new - standard metric thread. Put some anti seize (copper slip) on the bolts when putting them back in for ease of removal next time! hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
