When changing timing belts on d24 engine, you need to set the timing again. The timing changes slightly when parts wear over time. You need a set of specialed tools for locking the camshaft into right place, dial gauge to set injection pump timing. Crankshaft pulley bolt must be replaced and tightened to 350NM otherwise it will unscrew itself and destroy the engine. Making your own timing marks is very wrong. Also for sitting for such a long time headgasket will not last long and Injectors should be taken to diesel shop for testing, spray pattern, opening pressure. This engine will not last long like this.

@@cmanesq the timing can't be that wrong as the engine starts and runs with not much trouble. yes they should probably check timing is exact but you need special tools which they probably don't have. this is a budget build/resto and complete overhaul of headgasket etc would be a lot more work. i'm sure it's good info but came across as very negative and critical.
@tuomassalomaa96084 жыл бұрын
@@socalguy829 you are on the right track. The timing does not need special tools, ghetto way is to use digital caliper. Before that the cold advancing mechanism lever needs to be set for hot engine, the two stacked square bits on the cable can be "overlapped" when you think about the structure for a while. The headgasket will live as long as it feels like, and the sitting will not make much difference. However the n/a d24 does not have oil swuirters for the pistons, and it is fairly common for those to seize the piston rings while sitting. Also valve clearance is an issue, vag diesels have bad guides very often and they wear the seat surfaces -> valve clearance goes to zero and that ruins compression.
@creak923 жыл бұрын
I was wondering a bit myself, the crankshaft bolt came out way too easy as you normally would need a 3/4" impact or breaker bar plus tool to stop the engine from turning. Setting the timing with the dial indicator is important, a small deviation in pump timing can have a big impact on how well it'll run and start. Luckily basic tool sets for timing the VW VE injection pumps can be bought for very cheap. I personally wouldn't worry about the headgasket but having (or doing it youself if you can get your hands at the tools) the injectors pop tested is always a good idea with old diesels.
@ikutiap59233 жыл бұрын
You are right. The crankshaft nut is the killer of almost all of these engines, and the timing belt. If that nut gets just a tiny hair loose, the engine is unrepairable and will self-disintegrate in a second. Please make sure the bolt is securely done to the factory specs. 350NM+, no joke, i repeat, NO JOKE.

Tip for those radiator bolts that broke. As soon as you feel a bolt getting tight on the way out, stop and spray some penetrating fluid onto the threads and screw it back in again. This lubricates the threads. Try winding it back out again and if it tightens again, repeat the process. What's happening is you are trying to draw the rust flakes on the end of the bolt through the threads, which is what makes it seize and break. If you can access the back of the captive nut, you can wire brush the end of the bolt to remove some of the rust, which will help a lot.

Been waiting for this mate - made my day. I'm recovering from a session at the dentist! Great to see Greta looking better - may I suggest you consider doing some major rust intervention on her later in the year - patching some of her holes and dropping and treating the rear subframe and patching up, painting and undersealing any rust holes when you have time. She had a really hard life being left out in that field. You might want to put something like Dinitrol in her cavities. You scored a bargain here - these are a very rare sight here in England. When I was a boy they were not uncommon. Lot's of tradesmen used to haul all their tools/materials around in them and they were a superb family car. The Swedes really knew how to build them!

Great effort! I recommend checking that all the pistons in the brake calipers are working properly. It is common for one of the pistons to become stuck, which can cause uneven braking and pad wear, especially on the fronts which have four pistons in each caliper. It is easy and inexpensive to rebuild the calipers with new seals if needed.

The rust above the firewall, in the torpedo plate, once got my 240 disqualified during inspection. Don't know the rules in Belgium, but here it is enough to make it not pass. I've also failed inspection on my handbrake cable snapping. But usually the inspector is just happy to see old cars still in good condition. Best of luck with the inspection! Looking forward to seeing more from you c:

In Sydney, Australia that would be a fail because it is considered a structual part of the car. Because of our rediculous high cost of everything, a car with rust like that would not be repaired. Cost more than what car is worth.

I love what you're doing to this car. it reminds me of my dads 1988 740 Turbo Interccoler from when I was a kid. The sandblasting makes the parts look great too!
