MECCANO Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 The flywheel on my disco 200tdi was in a bit of a sorry state when i got it. I had it ground but there are still blemishes in the surface. Unfotuantely the guy had to drill out the locating dowls for the pressure plate. From what i can see you can't just buy relacements. As i'm not overly happpy about the flywheels condition i was woundering if there are alternatives. For example can you fit a lighter cheaper 2.25 pet flywheel, or will it run even more like a bag of nails??? Chars Muchly Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 You can buy the 'dowels' (locating pegs), not sure of the part number though I'm afraid, but I have a set which I bought for those 'just in case' things. I believe that the 2.5N/A & TD flywheels are the same thing, but different part numbers for some odd reason. I wouldn't fit a lighter flywheel - it may affect the engine running. Bolt pattern and ring gear teeth are the main thing. The N/A and TD starters will fit the 200TDi apparently, so the ring gear must be the same/flywheel outer diameter the same. On a 200TDi conversion from the 2.5TD - you can use the TD flywheel housing on the 200TDi engine - so no problems there either. Just a case of the bolt pattern being the same. Les.

western Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 200Tdi flywheel dowels aren't listed as a seperate part. a 300Tdi flywheel is the same part number, so you can use one of those. a 2.5TD flywheel might fit to, as the crank is the same as a 200Tdi crank in Discovery & Defender & the clutch is common too. a 2.5n/a flywheel is different.

Milemarker Type S Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I had no problems getting replacement clutch dowels when my flywheel was skimmed- both Brookwell and Exeter4x4 had them in stock... Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 200Tdi clutch cover dowels Pt No 502116, 3 off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 200Tdi clutch cover dowels Pt No 502116, 3 off. Strange EPC says Flywheel to Crankshaft dowels are that part number BUT the diagram shows them on the outer edge of the flywheel where the clutch pressure cover sits.

ciderman Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Dont go light on the flywheel, You`ll loose some of that luverly lowdown torque that the 200 tdis are good at . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 They are the same dowels as used on 3 bearing series engines for the clutch cover again. The flywheel to crank dowel is ERR1630. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob86 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 At work we've machined flywheels that have had worse hardspots than that and not had any problems after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
