RH hand would be the eaiser of the 2, but I think the LH would be a struggle due to the turbo/manifold/pipework etc My D3 Build Thread

I've removed the fuel belt.

Any tips on whether I need to remove the rear belt cover to get the left head off, or remove the fuel pump ?

THank you

Thank you Thumbs Up

Anyone replaced a piston while the engine is in the car ?
Anything I should know.

I guess I have to remove the bigger/upper sump to get to the middle left ?

To get to the crank it looks like I've got to :

Remove the drive shaft
Take starter motor off
Take the upper sump off

I'm just concerned whether I need to go near the crank sensor ! Big Cry


EDIT : To get upper sump off.


Remove starter.
Remove fuel heat exchanger makes it easier.
Remove alternator bracket
Remove fan cowling
I had the diff loose and pushed back
Disconnected small PAS rack pipes.
upper Sump will come out the front of the engine by radiator.

I think I have read something about pistons being fitted from the bottom of the engine. In that case would have to remove the crank completely. Vehicles

99% sure they come out the top. Piston cooling jets are at the bottom of the cylinder, and rather difficult to remove and fit with the crank/rods in situ My D3 Build Thread
