I don't know if the 200TDi is different from the 300TDi as far as timing goes, but a 10mm drill and you can make your own flywheel TDC lock is all you need, there are a few posts (search) on here about fabricating your own tool, Regards Frank.
Hey guys,
I've just changed the timing belt in my 200tdi without any of the timing tools - and I thought I could get away without locking the crank - I can't.
Before doing the belt the engine was running marvellously but now it will barely start and if it does the throttle is unresponsive and lots of white smoke. I'm guessing that timing is out at the IP and the white smoke is unburnt fuel. My question is - I really don't want to drop the $300 for a timing belt kit considering i'd only use it once. Could anyone in Sydney loan me one for a few hours? Beers and exchange of stories will result.
Thanks guys,
Alex
