    D3 TDV6 clunk, bang stop

    Well think karma has bitten me in the backside.

    Fueled up this arvo after nearly running empty.

    Drove off all ok. Turned into a side st near home. Was a bang, bit of a crunching noise then the motor stopped.

    Was able to get it on side of road by the kern luckily.

    Turns over but will not start.

    No fault lights or anything in the display.

    Yes it was diesel I filled up with. Checked the receipt. I always double check before filling up.

    Did the ignition on off 6 times to auto bleed on advice of MR auto. No joy.

    Any thoughts apart from jumping off a bridge which is a good option right now.

    Hope that it is not timing belt tensioner.
    While turning key to start position get someone to hold down tyre valve at back of engine in fuel line to make sure you have prime.
    Maybe hard reset, but do not like the noises you had so would be checking timing belt.

    The HP fuel pump belt should also be checked, not that I'd expect much of a bang if that belt simply broke.

    Timing belts and tensioner a were all done about 18 months ago so should not be those.

    Engine would not turn over if it was the timing belt??

    Did they check you had the latest oil pump housing ?
    It is the oil pump housing that is the problem.
    Some still do wind over after this breaks, many reports of this.
    I hope it is not this for your sake.

    Was advised I could or could not do the housing. Think it was additional $1200 and as I was pressed for cash I elected to not have that replaced.

    I suspect that is what has let go.

    When researching prior to my belt change not one Indy or Stealer had heard of the oil pump problem , even though there was plenty of evidence in the uk and oz that there deffo was a problem . $1200 seems a bit steep as the oil pump itself is only a couple of hundred $ from memory and is not a biggy to fit as the access is easy when taking off old belts etc .
    Any one coming up for a belt change should IMHO get the oil pump changed out when renewing timing belts in the 2007/8 and possibly 2009 yrs .

    I'm not sure if exact amount but it around that number.

    I had a partner at the time who was totally $$$ fixated so spending another $1200 really set her off 😡
    She is gone so don't have that annoyance.

    They did advise to do it and I had read on here and disco3 site about it

    Always wiser in retrospect. I just hope not too much other damage was caused.

    Motor was turning over freely so guess that is encouraging.

    Onto the tilt tray tues and wait to find out the $$$ so I can talk to the bank!!

    When you say the motor turns, is this based on cranking with the key ?


    My D1 cranked and cranked and cranked when the belt broke , just wouldn't fire , and if the engine hasn't seized on anything it will continue to do so.


    Hope it is something as simple as its not good to keep hearing of this sort of thing.


    Cheers Ean
