I give the tips of my circlip pliers a few taps with a small hammer till there is a slight burr on the ends, this helps to stop the circlip pliers from sliping out of the circlip.

Many thanks for this great video. It gave me the insight to replace the turbo cartridge on my Defender 200tdi. Must have got lucky with the 4 M8 machine screws. Something you didn't show on the video was undoing the 7/8 a/f screwed union for the oil drain what a bummer really tight.

The 300Tdi had a 2 screw flange and not the screwed union

I’m surprised that you didn’t give that broken stud a dose of heat and candle wax now in case you need to remove it in the future?

As an ex owner of a high mileage 300Tdi, this is not a job any owner would have to do very often, if at all. I never had any turbo problems in 15 years of ownership, because Mike works pretty exclusively on the 300 he gets to do this job, I'd say on a reasonably regular basis. As we can see from this video, the job is doable with some mechanical skills and some basic tools, it's a job I wouldn't be afraid to tackle if required.

I think the point of this, is you can do it yourself, BUT if you need to replace the turbo and you have the option of a new turbo assembly OR the cheaper cartridge replaced by your local mechanic, take into account the shop time to take the unit apart - which can suck up hours

Ohh cant wait to try this out on the turbo and manifold that I bought for £.99p from ebay, PS not a cheapskate, didnt ask for change from the £1 paid, or will just send it to the Wizard Andrew at Allisport

What size thread are the 4 bolts? I've managed to snap 2! Drilled out but not sure on the thread size. A job I wish I never start

@BritannicaRestorations Жыл бұрын

M8 x 1.25 = standard metric thread I would be tempted to drill them out and helicoil them - chances are you will not drill them out square

Hello new defender (94 TDI 300) owner and discovering the joys of the continuing incontinence of oil leaks i have a leak at the bull horn where the manifold joins the can these be welded or is there another way to stop the leak cheers Kenny ps enjoying your video's helped me tackle many problems so far

@@BritannicaRestorations its the description i have been finding the pipe that you have removed from the manifold where it is cut and you said you could weld it mine is weeping between the pipe and the manifold I've checked the turbo there is slight play I've took of the inlet manifold hardly any oil in their so im not sure why it is weeping it is also a bit of gunge (oil or unburnt fuel im not sure) in the egr blanking port hole there isn't any exhaust gas getting out either i did discover today that the glow plugs were not getting power i had recently changed them the old ones were totally humped and had blown the 60 amp fuse so it could be unburnt fuel im not sure thanks for any help and the quick reply Kenny (Scotland)

i realise its cast but why not weld up the EGR port instead of trying to drill the stud out

@edd6113 2 жыл бұрын

Not done one but if someone hadn't buggered it up could you have pulled the compressor housing circlip first, pulled the compressor housing off to get a better shot at exhaust bolts with an impact? Near the end is a good shot for eye protection, did you spot the sparks fly when the circlip snapped back!

@BritannicaRestorations 2 жыл бұрын

You cannot get access to the bolt heads because of the cooling fins on the cartridge

@@BritannicaRestorations bugger, if the core was scrap could you snap them off with something. I've debated for a long time putting a core in while the mainfold is still on the engine, people who sell the cores make it look easy! To me that looks like a disaster, lovely heat hardened bolts snapped in the worst place! Looks best to buy a used duff manifold and refurb on the bench first.

I mentioned before on here that if you have a go yourself then fine - it is your time and effort, but if you are paying your mechanic time to struggle on with rusted parts, it would be cheaper to fit a new unit or a known used unit, than replace the cartridge. Sometimes it is difficult to explain to customers that it is cheaper for them for me to open a box, bolt the part on and be done in half an hour, than waste half a day struggling on with rusted parts

I used heat, WD and a spanner with a 4ft jack handle. Went very slowly and done the backwards and forwards trick. Worked thank goodness. I did however shear off a bolt taking off the egt cover. Who designs these things! Bloody sadists....
