NASdiesel Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Hi folks, can someone tell me if the LR 300tdi service kit would work for a 2.8 TGV (powerstroke)? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSD Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Yes it's a 100% swap. International list a different belt part number, but I don't know what the difference is. LR parts fit just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 the difference is the international belt is stronger/reinforced with something (teflon?). my tgv is running a std 300 belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillis Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 so in theory could you use the tgv belt thats stronger on a 300tdi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSD Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 so in theory could you use the tgv belt thats stronger on a 300tdi? Certainly, if you can find one. Tracing the International part number through various manufacturers catalogues, the only difference I found indicated was that the International part calls up a special tooth profile. The same part number is used for the HS2500, which afaik is a 300tdi by any other name. I couldn't find any info on what was different about the profile, and when I changed mine the belt looked exactly the same as the 300tdi belt I fitted.

JST Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 when i spoke to M&D about the belts they stated the only difference was the tgv belt they supply was stronger than a 300tdi one to cope with the extra ommpppphhhhhh. mines run a 300tdi belt no problem from a strength perspective. Why would you want to fit a stronger one to a 300 anyway? to delay belt changes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uninformed Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I have noticed in the 2.8tgv workshop manual that International recommed a timing belt change at 120,000km which is alot further than the 70-80k that most tdi owners adhere to....

rick Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I have noticed in the 2.8tgv workshop manual that International recommed a timing belt change at 120,000km which is alot further than the 70-80k that most tdi owners adhere to.... It's the same interval in temperate (read, Europe) conditions for the 300Tdi too. I've just had a look and Dayco lists a different part # for the HS2.8 vs the 300Tdi or 2.5 Maxion engines, 118SP+300HK for the 2.8 and 118SP+300H for the other two.
