51bigG Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Can anyone tell me where to screw in the fitting that came with the kit for my Td5, it is manual box. Thanks Graham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 you already have one fitted to a TD5. It's at the back of the engine next to front axle breather. If you want to extend them, just snip off loop and use some push fittings and extra pipe. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 both axles/main & transferbox are factory fitted with breathers, rear axle pipe usually ends at the top of the rear suspension A frame to chassis connections, all the others in the engine bay behind the cylinder head & between it & the bulkhead.

Its just the kit I bought has two lengths of pipe and 3 90 degree swivel elbows. Axles and gearbox and trans box done then the fitting bible that came with it says that one fitting should go into the bottom of the gearbox bellhousing. maybe I dont need the thing and its just a bit of bulls--t, what do you think? There is one 8mm bolt screwed in that I think does not look original, not sure about it, and what is the larger threaded hole for that I can get my finger in to?Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 No It's not needed. I suspect that you have a TDI kit masquerading as a TD5 one. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave88sw Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 the larger threaded hole you can get your finger in could be the bellhousing drain hole? its there to allow any clutch fluid/engine oil to drain without ruining the clutch if the rear main oil seal fails or the slave cylinder fails, it should have a wading plug fitted if you go wading and removed afterwards although if the water is relatively clean the clutch ought to dry off quickly and you should be ok. Hope that helps Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
