Mixed up 200tdi sump retaining bolts


Recommended Posts

Came to put my 200 tdi sump back on today, measured the depth of the boltholes for depth with a screwdriver so I didn't put long bolts in short holes.

Got three bolt legths, some long and about 6 bor so that are short but two just a little longer than the other short ones.

Anyway I'm not sure here the long bolts should go as it looks like one of the short ones should be going through the spacer but it dosen't .

So to be sure where the different sizes go has anyone got a plan please

I should have put them in order through a piece of car but just whizzed them out thinking that they would be all the same :rolleyes:

Just put all the long ones in first. They will only fit in certain holes and you can't fit them into a place where a short one should be (or at least you couldn't on mine). Then you can use a screwdriver to gauge where the middle and short bolts should go.

Did just that,..... thanks

Mixed a couple of the short ones up but got there in the end.

All done and fresh oil in now, filter on tomorrow.

Fresh ATF in the R380 and gear oil 80/90 in the transfer box, almost ready for start up :)

Side note, MTF94 is a better oil for the R380, the LT77 takes ATF
