Thread: 200tdi turbo help please

is there anyone in the mackay area that would like to come and give me a hand? could be some beer rewards

you need to check the engagement of the wheels to the shaft.

if thats burred away you wont solve it those parts have to be replaced.

if its a taper lock you need to lightly scuff up the shaft and the lock on the wheel.

then you need to clean up the threads. assemble with some loctite 680.

the nut that is used is a one use nut. this is one of those ones that they are not kidding about when they say "one use only"

the nuts usualy have a deforming thread on the last turn of the nut. you can only do it up once, you can only wind it on about 1 turn before it gives up.

if you dont get the wheel seated properly first when it spins up it will seat you then loose locking tension and its game over again.

best of luck

dam... that sounds harder than I thought.... now I'm really not sure I can fix it myself....

So if that's the "fix" then what is the likely cause ?

reused nut, poorly made nut, mismatch of wheel to shaft bend shaft poorly machined taper, wheel out of balance, poor assembly, dud metal in the shaft or nut, badly cut thread, cross threaded nut, nut not put on tightly enough, and if thats all not it you can also be looking at shaft stretch or failure.

so not likely to be an oil feed issue?

I've got the 200tdi, plumbed to a cheap oil cooler (all i could get my hands on in my budget) my oil pressure gauge reads roughly 40psi at 980rpm but rises to nearly 60psi at 2000rpm. is this normal? or is my ****ty oil cooler causing too much restriction?

I've got brand spanking oil lines to the cooler and to the the turbo
