NOTE: The bearing bush can be removed
by using one of the following methods.
Method 1.
Obtain a short length of steel rod of a diameter having
a good slide fit in the bore of the bush. Pack the bore
with grease and insert the steel rod into the end of the
bore, give a sharp blow with a hammer and the
grease should drive out the bush. It is recommended
that the bush and rod be covered by a suitable cloth
or rag to prevent grease from splashing.Method 2.

idle speed,
See ENGINE TUNING DATA,
Information, 300Tdi
4.If adjustment is necessary, first slacken the
locknut on injection pump.

engine speed or anti-clockwise to decrease the
speed. Run engine at an increased speed for a
few seconds then check idle speed again.
