DC_ Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 The timing pin looks like it goes in at the back of the engine, right swine to get into unless there's another? I'm sticking to belt and braces, RTV and gasket, don't mind taking my time scraping it off with a cold beer to keep me company one sunny weekend hopefully well into the future ! How easy/hard is it to knock the sprockets out of place once the belt is off if you don't have a pin in? weighing up the job to get that timing sprocket off for the oil seal, I'm swaying towards leaving it. Then it's hopefully off on our first adventure in them...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephencdavies Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 i marked my engine to death, so if anything moved, i'd see it. i've seen plenty of cars having the belt cut through the middle and the new one being slid over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephencdavies Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=87703 this an old post. there's a bit on where the timing pin/s are on your 110 2.5NA. might be worth a read 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevm Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Mines is the usual plastic multi fin fan with viscous centre, I'm not too fussed about getting every bit of power from it as it'll be used for leisurely drives and camping trips etc. just to be enjoyed when I'm out in it. :-) we're a tad apprehensive about doing the crank seal, when cleaned up it actually looks in pretty good nick. And I need to bare in mind it's sitting on Trev's driveway, this weekend will be the third weekend it's sat there....... It's still undecided at the mo. We're going belt and braces on it Vulcan, gaskets on, slight smear of RTV round the casing and bolt up tight. (Proper Nm on it obvs) If you have the viscous type fan you already have the "max power" engine with performance I can only dream of.

DC_ Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 Thanks Stephen, I'll have a read later when I get in.... Kev, this is my fan, viscous coupling in the centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevm Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Thanks, DC. I can get most of the bits to change to viscous fan reasonably priced but the pulley is the expensive bit - don't know why. What make of cambelt are you fitting? and how much did it cost as I see paddocks list two - one at £7 and a genuine one at £60!!!!!!!! Nows theres a dilemma, I don't want to pay £60 if £7 will do the job just as well but, if the £7 one stretches or worse breaks - arrrgh!

vulcan bomber Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I have a water pump pully sat here if you need one. Dayco belts all the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephencdavies Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 YEP. Dayco. bullet proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222170066471 Is the kit I got with a dayco belt in it. The tensioner is in there too along with a dust seal for the front cover. I'd make sure your pulley is the right one though, get pics up. The mates is different from mine, we're having to adjust the holes for the bolts as they don't line up 100%..... The water pump has a square type fitment on the new water pump and mines has a round fitment. Always get what you can afford, but try your very best to get Genuine quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevm Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Well the Dayco is the £7 one so that is good news. Vulcan, I may be interested in your pulley will PM. you if I need it, ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejparrott Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Dayco every time, and I always change tensioner and idler for Bearmach items while I'm at it. Both case seals get changed for Corteco seals as well. When I do a new vehicle for the first time, I strip right back to the block, everything off, and re seal the lot. Invariably the bolts are also stuck in the case holes, and I also enlarge them. From memory, they're normally drilled 8.1 for an M8 bolt, and I open them out to nearer 9mm and lather them in copper grease. To date, I've not had problems when I've gone back in years later. I've a new-to-me TDi I'm starting on today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Sparkes Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Alternator in wrong position? That was also my first thought, but then I looked back, and found on page 1 a shot showing the alternator connected, but I still can't answer the question!! Regards.

stephencdavies Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Beats me. looks good so far, mind you i'd have replaced all the water pipes, especially that little one on top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevm Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 It's the wrong water pump, it should have a round boss with a thread if you have a viscous fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC_ Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 It's the wrong water pump, it should have a round boss with a thread if you have a viscous fan. BINGO !! Get that man a packet of roast beef and mustard ! Yep the water pump sent was non viscous and luckily (taking a positive from it) we noticed before we put everything back together. It was going to be a bit of drilling here, a bigger belt there. Then we paused and thought, "where does the fan connect to?" New correct water pump ordered but won't be here til Tuesday which is a bummer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Beats me. looks good so far, mind you i'd have replaced all the water pipes, especially that little one on top. Stephen do you know the part number for these pipes? I wanted to change too but with everything going on keep forgetting. If not too expensive I can put them in with my pump order and make it look even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Got it ! ERC5654 for the small connector hose. Other pipes look ok and will get a good clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
