Hello
I remember reading somewhere - and I think it could have been in here - that there is a belt on a TD5 engine that needs replacing at one of the service intervals, and it's an engine out at 7hrs or body lifted in 5hrs but I can't find it again - was it a dream? I seem to remember the thrust of the thread was a comparison of 300TDI and TD5 disco's.
Anybody know about this please?
I'm interested now as a pal is thinking of a disco2 so I told him about this but am unable to substantiate it. Mine is a 300TDI btw.
I've done loads of searching and assume that it is the auxiliary drive belt????
Cheers
Graham

I don't think its a TD5 part you're thinking about.
Early TDV6's have some parts which officially needed engine out or body up.

The only belt on a TD5 is the alternator/AC ect thats on the front

Auxiliary drive belt is definitely not an engine out job :)
