matfield Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me the size of the nut on the bottom of the 200tdi turbo. I'm removing the manifold to have it drilled and tapped for an EGR sender and I'm all ready to take it off, only for that blasted nut....... Thanks a million Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimaquinas Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 hi mat why do you want a egr as you will lose a bit of power most people remove them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I would hazard a guess that he meant to type "EGT" rather than EGR. Which nut are you referring to Mat? Is it on this diagram? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 probably the upper end of item 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 IIRC, 22mm and on the vehicle an utter swine to do anything with. The pipe runs into a soft rubber hose, undo it there as its just a jubilee clip and alot easier to reach and faff with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matfield Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Sorry... EGT.... fat finger slip It is the nut above no.19; VB... my one has a steel braided hose running down to another steel pipe, with I'm guessing another 22mm nut at the bottom into the sump. I'll see if I can get a 22mm spanner from a friend... there's not a whole lot of space to swing it though between the heater matrix, washer bottle and inner wing! Any one have any other suggestions to take it off... Cheers Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baz2236 Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I am pretty sure that nut is a 27mm I had a nightmare doing mine up ended up using a adjustable from underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matfield Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks a million for a the help lads... 22mm it was and it was a complete pain in the arse to remove!! "cracked" it with the spanner and ended up using a pair of pliers to slowly undo it.... 45 minutes!!!! I'm really not looking forward to putting it back on... does anyone have any hints or techniques? manifold on first, last... I removed the washer bottle to get the spanner in.

muddy Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Get a 22mm ring spanner and cut a slot on the ring so it slots over the pipe, still a slow job but more places for the spanner to grip the nut. You won't get it tight tight as the ring will open up and slip round bit it will suffice until you get the final Nop with the open end. Will.

muddy Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 £5- 50 I'd look at something like a draper or buy two silver line ones if you can. Looking at my silver line catalogue 449371 20x22mm is £4.57 bi hex ring spanner. We sell draper and silver line at work if you can get away with something more cheesey silver line is more palatable to hack up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike4444244 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I have a special spanner for that nut it's a royal PITA to do! I ended up grinding down an old spanner to fit the gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
