Timing Belt Service on a D4 with MASSIVE oil spil
Hey Guys,
actually doing a Timing Belt Service + Water Pump (Front and Rear Belt) on a D4 with Gen2 Engine.
I was wondering about a lot of loss oil on the underbody.
When removed the body and removing the front timing cover i was really wondering. Never seen something like that on this engines.
Engine was running pretty fine, customer never had any problems. The timing belt was hardly oil polluted, it already begun to decompose.
Was checking for oil leakage but nothing to find. Does anybody had something like that in the past and knows what could have caused this?
I`m now going for new gaskets on the heat exchanger in the V because there was a lot of oil. But I`m not sure that this is the origin of the problem. Oil pump and oil seal seem to be fine.
Inlet manifold even look pretty bad ... but unstoppable on a Euro 6 i think...
Where this engine lost so much oil, which was even able to get into the front timing chain cover... or the problem lies within the timing chain cover.
I would say its from the Oil/Fuel cooler in V, looking at you're pictures. But why is the body off to do the belts, other work needs doing.?

Hey mate.
Yeah, wanted to do it without body lifting but when i saw the oil spill i decided to take of the body.
Furthermore it`s a pain to change the rear belt with body on, i took a look, no way mate, maybe on a D3, but not on a D4 with Euro6/Adblue/Gen2.

Stand by to be corrected on that! Currently 2009 Disco 3 SE, 2013 MY D4 HSE and 2016 D4 SE
Previously:
TD5 Defender 110 CSW (230k miles)
300TDi Disco 1 (289k)

Furthermore it`s a pain to change the rear belt with body on, i took a look, no way mate, maybe on a D3, but not on a D4 with Euro6/Adblue/Gen2.
Its no harder than a D3, the access is tight and there is more to come off on a D4 rear belt, but very doable with body on. about 4.5 hours for both belts with body on.

Hi Flack,
Showing you local to me in Preston. Quick question, I have a D4 TDV6 2010 model.
Car was running and starting and switching off after 40 secs. Changed fuel filter and housing and water sensor. Fuel and everything was coming to front at check valve with pressure.
Checked via diagnostic on Aurel and ssd and not much shown. Took oil filler cap off and chain was loose. Little prod by mate and was off.
Will need all timing belts, cam chains, rear belt, water pump, oil pump, rocket cover gaskets and maybe the gaskets on the V.
Would you be able to do this? If you can message me on my email in the pic attached
