Maverik Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Time flies when there's COVID about! Mine is due on time just, but I've still got 5k miles on it to go, was going to do a visual then push it out a bit. Be interested to see what yours looks like now.

hurbie Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 i hate to say it , but it's already october .... (and i really like to see other 200tdi's with belt "oddness" ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonimouse Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Not quite a belt oddness, but.... Last year when I changed engines in the D I S C O, after I had changed the timing belt, I used the timing chest cover off my previous engine (newer and cleaner) and fitted a new water pump. All back together fine and dandy. Except a slight weep at the top of the pump mating face. Annoying but no biggie. Bought another gasket - checked everything was spotless. Weep still there Bought another gasket, took it apart, true'd everything, shiny clean. New pot of Heltite. Weep still there. Swapped timing chest cover, bought new pump (neither were Britpart), true'd everything, payen gasket. Weep still there In exasperation took the vehicle down to our local garage. Real world mechanics, lots of experience, work on a lot of older stuff, also sell fuel. They true'd the timing chest, cover and pump, fitted everything and it leaked. This annoyed them, so they made a gasket from the cork sheet that they make gaskets for the fuel pumps. No leak in 10K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 Nothing really to report hurbie, I changed the belt in August so a few weeks late. Some wear again on the front edge again but not really any worse than last time. I'm not unduly concerned and I expect the new belt will be the same when I change it in 2026.

I had a leak at the back of the waterpump gallery on the 110 (defender 200tdi engine) - between the timing chest and block. I changed those gaskets three times and in the end used some loctite non-setting liquid gasket. It felt a bodge but it has worked but the normal gaskets just werent sealing that joint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Murphy Posted October 6, 2021 Author Share Posted October 6, 2021 I use gasket and RTV on all the water joints. I put a new water pump and bolts on this time as well. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
