200TDi Injector Pump

(1/5) > >>

smo:
The injector pump on my 200TDi seems to be leaking - it drips, a lot, all over the UJ on the front prop!

Its hard to see where its coming from, it could be the front between the timing case and the pump, or it could be from between the outlet manifold and the main body....or somewhere else!

I gather a leak from the front end is likely to nacker my timing belt pretty quickly and leave everything somewhat bent!

What do you lot recommend is the best course of action?, should i replace the whole pump?, try and find the leak? Where is the most common failure point?

Saffy:
Other than the unions the leak I know of that is fairly common is from worn throttle spindle seals. I have driven with a constant drip leak from that location for a few thousand miles in the past before getting around to replacing pump. If it is the throttle spindle then the seals can be professionally replaced, or if you do the research there are posts on forums that details what to order and how to do it yourself, though probably not recommended.

smo:
I dont have a problem doing it myself, just more concerned about it nackering the timing belt

L90OOK:
I'd remove the pump & send it off to diesel bob for recon & heavy duty seals for veg oil.  Also replace the cam belt  ;)

smo:
Who is diesel bob, and how much is it likely to cost?
