OAT Thanks for the info. Ordered some higher grade M10 bolts to use, but had a result on the original bolts. So should be sorted.

RegW Thanks for the info mate. Sorted now. (cheaper to buy a 2nd hand conrod with the bolts) Trusting a dodgy torque wrench instead of using common sense caused the problem.  lol

Thanks AlvyLad. Spent ages on ebay and never saw these. £30 for a bolt is a bit steep. What do you think to just using an M10 high tensile bolt?

Snapped a con rod bolt. Anyone have, or able to direct me to where i can get a replacement for this. It's a 2003 1.9d. All the ones available seem to be the stud type, not the bolt. 1000000540.jpg

Thanks for the reply.
I changed the chain for a new one. Bit of a fiddly job which entailed removing the crank sprocket, so replaced the seal while at it. Surprised it didn't have a tentioner as the old chain had stretched to a good half link longer than the new one.
Now going to have to do it again, as the shell bearings need replacing and the sump has developed a rust hole on the front!

Hi all.
As the title sugests, i'm replacing the shell bearings on a 1.9d (dw8) 2003 expert and wondered if anyone had the correct torque settings for the crank bearings. There seems to be different settings listed accross different publications.
Thanks.

Thanks Kenbw2.
Found a few diagrams and they all show no tentioner. The chains slapping about, so trying to work out the easiest way of replacing.

Hi all.
Does the dw8 2003 1.9d have a chain tentioner. The oil pump drive chain is really loose and noisy. Also does anyone have info on how to replace the chain for a new one.
Thanks.

Thanks for the response AlvyLad. The question on the injectors was because i'd seen those ones on Ebay and they seemed cheap, so thought they may be worth getting as spares as it feel like a fuel supply problem. Serviced it not long before i parked it up, so thought the oil would be ok, but checked the filter during the oil change today and it was clogged up. Changed the oil and filter today and it seems a lot quieter.

Thanks for the responses everyone.
Iv'e disconected the EGR valve (removed and blocked the pipes) as instructed elswhere on the forum. And also made sure the throttle cable is taught. It accelerates fine and is starting better. Just sounds like a bag of spanners on startup.
Going to give it a service this weekend and see if an oil change makes it any quieter.
As it's been stood for a long time, would an engine flush be any use? Seeing some saying never do one as it can cause damage to older engine seals.
Cheers everyone.

Thanks for the add everyone.
First post.

I've read through the relevant posts on the forum and acted on some of the advice, but thought i'd ask for a bit of info from those more knowledgable.
I have a 2003 1.9d Expert. that i've owned for years. 122000 mls on the clock.
It's been stood for 4 yrs, with very little use, so not serviced. (going to put a service on it this weekend. Oil /coolant etc.)
Now i've started using it again, it's become a little difficult to start in the cold mornings and really noisy when first started, with white smoke. (rattling from timing belt side of engine. Timing belt and water pump replaced at 88000 mls)
Has a new battery and starts first time when hot. But still feels as though there is a fuelling delay.
I've replaced the glow plugs and glow plug feed wire. (the old ones seemed ok, but were very black /sooty) But haven't checked the relay (where and how to check?) I've also put a non return valve in the fuel line after the filter, so no air in the feed, as there was air in the clear pipe.
Thinking maybe faulty or clogged injector due to lack of use. Are the injectors generic accross the DW8 engines, or do they have to be specific for the Expert?

Any advice welcome.
Thanks everyone.
