reb78 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 On my defender 200tdi, i've just had a custom exhaust manufactured. The new exhaust sits a few inches further from the clutch slave cylinder than the original version. There si a flexible section directly below the slave. The original heatshield to protect the clutch slave cylinder was not re-fitted. How mch effect will this have on the slave? The od exhaust was a fair bit closer to the slave than my new one. The new exhaust is 2.5inch diameter, so the sheild will be a pain to fit to that, so if the advice is to re-fit it, i'll try and attach it to the side of the chassis above the slave cylinder.

Phillis Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 when i fitted a disco 200tdi in to my 90, i didnt refit the heat sheild and i have suffered no ill effects as of yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I left the heatshield off my 110 after the 200tdi was fitted, hasn't caused me any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Thanks both. Thats good to hear. I know you have had the 200tdi in for some time Ralph, so i guess i shouldnt worry! Was the sheild just a feature of the 19J TD (my old system) or did the 200tdi system have one fitted originally as well? I would think that the sheild gets pretty hot anyway and eventually does little to redirect the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 the shield on mine was a TD originally, Have to check the parts book to see if 200Tdi had one fitted, but not at home until tomorrow afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Parts book show it for the TD engine (part 24 in the picture), but there's nothing resembling a heat-shield on downpipe on the TDi page. Shows one on the middle pipe though. TD Engine TDi Engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Thats interesting. Wonder why they added one to the silencer (it cant be near the slave cylinder duw to space i guess)? Think i'll run without and see how we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 As an aside, neither of my 200TDis have that heatshield on the centre box, it may have been an option or just one of those things people take off and don't bother putting back on. Like disc brake mud shields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
