Thread: Timing belt went last night while driving D1 - 92 tdi...!!

Probably broken some rockers as well.

ouch, cant give advice as im not a mechanic but im going to get slightly off topic and ask how many ks does it have and do you know when the belt was last done, i have a 300tdi with 140k and dont know if its ever been done

At 140K get it done if you don't know if it was done at 80,000Km. It'll be due at at 160K anyway. Not that expensive, especially compared to the probable damage that Jay has on his hands.

Yup,

Apparently 80K is the go...... Won't forget that in a hurry....

Booked in, will see tommorow.

Jay,
Happened to my 93 TDI, couple of bent push rods, new belt and bearings, no damage to rockers or valves. Put the kit in, replaced the pushrods and its been going without a drama since.
Obviously I was very lucky and not something I want to experience again but certainly not a "sell the car" drama. Chances are this will be similar to what you will experience or at least I hope so.

Good luck.

make sure the timing recall was done also...I have just had my timing belt done and my bearing for the fan pulley that is pressed into the timing case cover...

And I was amazed to learn that mine had not had the recall done....I dont know the correct terms I'm sure someone will pipe up but basically i think its one of the cogs (I will call it that as it looks like it has teeth) is supposed to have a shoulder on it this is the recall....as the ones with out allow the belt to wonder or walk as I was told ....the replacement timing belt kit I think cost $250 to do this recall..

Just something to be aware of

It's a 200Tdi though, the recall isn't applicable.

Scrap that but for anyone else reading that is thinking of getting theres done its a must check

EDIT: I just scrolled up and thought mmmmm 92 of course its a 200tdi...and then I saw it written in his Sig
