T4 tdi engine missile

got a T4 tdi just dropped her to work on the way back i lost all power with a big bang then saw the bottom pulley overtaking me down the road

its a 1,9tdi ABL engine guessing thats the valves bent looks like its sheared the bottom pulley bolt[:^(] [:^(] [:^(]

 

they should have used 8v digifant bolts to handle that much torque

 

lucky it was a quiet road could have killed someone with the pulley flying through the air like that

 

guess its mot time for the cabby

 

but in a diesel, surely it wasnt doing more than 50-60rpm? lol

 

on a much more serious note, when are you going to get a chance to pull the engine apart and inspect the damage?

 

i was just pulley away and getting into 2nd gear very low speed

im hoping i can get it stripped this weekend may just put a new pulley and belt on and see if it starts dont hold much hope

think it will be new valves and guides

 

make sure u check the crank 4 damage. i tryed new pulley b4 and usualy fine 4 short period then suddenly timing goes belly up. pulley sheared again

 

from first inspection the bolt has sheared but at low speed revs so fingers crossed

 

aren't they a non interference engine?

 

That would be a bonus if it was.

 

i had an a4 tdi long ago that had had a new head just before i got it cos of the cambelt dying.

leads be to beleive they are interface

 

im afraid it will have bent my valves had a cambelt go on it before did 4 valves last time lol

the biggest problem will be getting the sheared bolt out of the crank as its snapped right in there

now im having a mare getting the cabby ready for its mot at 2pm today just broke the hazard switch lol

happy days
