    I have a short bellhousing R380 on a 200 TDi engine and want to fit it to a 300 TDi engine, will it fit ?

    Yes and no, not all the holes will line up but most do, pls see :and the 300 TDi clutch cover housing :Looking at the top bellhousing photo :Lets call these holes, 12 (O'clock), 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
    When the bellhousing drops onto the clutch cover housing in the lower photo :

     

     

    Holes

    • 12, OK
    • 1, OK
    • 2, OK
    • 3, OK
    • 5, doesn’t line up
    • 6, no hole but there is some material so you can drill and tap and fit a stud
    • 7, doesn’t line up
    • 8, OK,
    • 9, doesn’t line up
    • 10, OK
    • 11, OK

    The bottom line is most line up but not all, in my experience, enough line up for it to be secure and not cause a problem.
