Deface Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 When i put a 200tdi in mine, i changed the clutch, head gasket, rocker cover gasket, cambelt (and all gaskets involved in a cambelt change),and adjusted the tapits all because its just so much easier to do having the engine where and at what height i wanted it at. ethan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco tony Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I have a friend who has learned some new swearwords after his fourth core plug has started leaking!! For the few pennies, I would say add them to your list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicks90 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 depends how flush you're feeling. if i could i would do the cambelt, clutch, vacuum pump, fuel pump, as many gaskets as you can (maybe not the head gasket though), injectors reconned and give the engine a bit of a clean/paint.

markyboy Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 If you don't know the history of the engine you should definitely do the timing belt. Use a good quality kit, (not Br*tpart). The clutch is also a must do item. For what a new one costs it's not worth taking the risk. Other than that it's just a general lookover, rectify any obvious oil leaks, it's probably worth replacing the fan and PAS belts too. If the waterways look in pretty good shape, ie no rust/corrosion, the core plugs shouldn't need replacing IMHO. With the corrosion inhibitors in modern coolant, core plugs shouldn't need replacing. It's also worth checking the valve clearances (tappets) too. You're already doing the filters and oil. HTH. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wozza35 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Dont forget to do the crank oil seals as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 When you do the clutch, be sure to put in a reinforced clutch fork too. Speak to Les Henson - he does a side line in reinfced forks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 When you do the clutch, be sure to put in a reinforced clutch fork too. Speak to Les Henson - he does a side line in reinfced forks A clutch job MUST include: Clutch Pressure plate Throwout bearing Clutch fork Slipper pads slave cylinder push rod and clip All of these bits wear out.....
