Boydie Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 On my 300Tdi it's 8 psi at normal running temperature of 90*C and 750 rpm and 15 psi when the engine is stone motherless cold. , I don't think the 200Tdi would be much different as I believe they share the same oil pump. Driving at 90*C, 2500 rpm 5th gear @ 90 kph the oil pressure is 35 psi and when cold at the same speed, gear etc. it's 55 psi indicating that the oil relief valve is working and just cracked open.

vulcan bomber Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 They don't share the same pump at all. 300s are driven off the nose of the crank and 200 off the cam shaft via a drive shaft from the skew gear under the Vac pump.

Boydie Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Okay, I stand corrected - (never too old to learn even if today is my 69th birthday) I thought the block was common -- so are the oil pressures different ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boydie Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Vulcan, I don't have one but wouldn't that info be in the service manual ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boydie Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Western answered my question, as I thought both the 200 & 300Tdi run the same oil pressures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
