Thread: TD5 Engine seize

Dave sorry to hear your situation I feel your pain.
This is a known problem some engines were released without locktite on the bolt. Most have been checked obviously yours wasnt

thats not the present one wishes on anybody

Any comeback to L/R??
I bet they won`t
I stuffed a def. g/box about 1mth out of warranty, and the maggots wouldn`t entertain it, even though there was an internal memo accepting that there was a lubrication issue with the ATF
Some sheila, what a cow

TD5 Seize

It now turns out to be a well known problem.
Why didn,t FR do a recall ? Bastards.
I think it would be pointless going to LR. My bloody vehicle over the last six years has now had them all ! Oil in the computer via the wiring loom, one wheel drive (no traction control) and no ABS because of brake squeal.

A bit late now Dave but see

Another Td5 Oil pump bolt scare

Item number: 290285009301 on ebay is a td5 engine from Bundalene
$2700 120000km
My sympathy, just cooked my gas over diesel tdi300 in about two minutes, busted hose, and found an other one on ebay today for $1000, I'm still cranky though, and am fitting a low water probe this time.
Compliments of the Season to all
Michael :-(
