Leaking injector pump

<< < (2/2)

drmike:
Damn we had crossed wires and now the guy knows it's a 200 TDI he says it can't be done pump in place.

As I recall taking the pump off means removing the radiator, the timing cover and a whole load of other bits too as well as locking the timing.

I can see this costing a bomb or being a lot of tricky work just to get the pump off.

You can get a tool that you use to lock all timing belt etc in place (you don't even have to remove the front cover)... and then the injector pump can be simply removed.  

As you mentioned, otherwise it's a front end strip down again, which in all honesty isn't particularly difficult, but handy to have the correct tools....

You've cheered me up and I've looked at the workshop manual. This says you need to get TDC on No 1, lock the flywheel through the hole in bell housing and lock the pulley. Then remove the pump.

Is it really that straightforward?

They also talk of rotating the crankshaft two full revolutions and checking this that and the other - do you need to do this?

I'd guess if you have the tools and have done it a couple of times then it's a quick enough job or does it still take a while?

Thanks again for your thoughts which have cheered me up.

With tool LRT-12-045 it is....
(which is one I tool I keep meaning to buy... or get one to copy :wink: )


If you can't find one of these, I have got all the other tools needed to remove the timing belt  :wink:

Rotating the cambelt and re-tensioning isn't always needed, but I always rotate and recheck as a matter of course...  

In all honesty I don't know how long it takes to do a cambelt, but then I don't work in a garage or do it for a living (though I do work with engines all day long!), but the last I did took 7 hours... but this also covered cleaning everything properly, all new oil seals, etc etc etc.  And drinking coffee and eating etc.
I have done quite a few of them now, but always take my time rather than rushing them...

Obviously yours would be split over a couple of days, whilst you sent your pump to be repaired..

You'd probably be looking at a couple or 3 hours to get everything stripped down and the pump removed.... without going at it like a bull in a china shop!!  Then you could clean everything at your leisure, and put the pump back when done.  

I've no doubt people would do it in less time, so could I if I really wanted too.....
