Thread: 200tdi CH from Turners - Arrived

Another happy Turners customer!Now is a good time to buy a TM engine watchdog temperature gauge and fit the sensor to one of the threads on the back of the head.Even better, combine it with a low level coolant alarm.

well on it eddy.

I've got an EMS-2 madman to install, so will have EGT, low cool, temp and pressure alarms. Dont want to cook this one!

good to see Turners still doing their thing after all these years...AND, offering support for the trusty 200tdi

Do Turners use a modified 300 head or is it specifically a 200 head ?

Its a 200tdi head, a 300tdi head on a 200tdi would require too many mods to be worthwile.

I took my time hunting a cheap CH on ebay uk and won a scruffy looking one for £80 inc delivery to turners. Turners tested it and confirmed it suitable for re-man. Once confirmed they sent out a head that they had ready to go.

Yeah i was just wondering if turners start with a 300 head then modify it since they would be doing it while machining so not really that much more effort. Good to know they are still available at a reasonable price if you have a 200 series that is otherwise great.

That's great news that it is still possible to get heads for the 200tdi, it makes me want to hold on to mine even longer now!

How much was it all up? and do you need to fit any new parts to it? or just put your old rockers etc back on it?

Its a bit of a hassle having to find an exchange head so it would be great if they could do that...

i think when my 200tdi wears itself out to a wheezing husk (currently at 320,000k) I will seriously consider getting another one rebuilt from turners - I cant think of a better replacement engine I could put in it that would be worth the extra work: conversion process, engineering, vicroads, insurance etc.

Long live the 200tdi!
