Diesel Leak above Starter motor

[Dutchie10]

Hello All,

It would appear that my 2000 TD5 Dual cab has developed a nice Diesel leak above the Starter Motor on the side of the block.

Does anyone know of this happening and why???:confused:

How hard to fix and what part is required, does not apper to be much oom to move in there to change out/fix.

It does not appear to be a big leak, Yet.

Thanks

RHS? Probably the fuel pressure regulator.

Fuel reg

Yep the leak is the Right hand side.

What is involved in changing the fuel regulator?

Here we don't have access to most of spare parts for TD5, so we have to improvise. A year ago I had this problem, and the solution was to take it off, change the regulator valve (the round one) with a new one from Volkswagen engine (a Brazilian one). Hot a drop anymore. Cost: around AUD 18 and a few scares in my hand, besides one lost hour in my live. Itś really simple and as far as I know, VW is far ahead in quality parts compared to LR.

Any more info on this please? Dont suppose you have a part number for the VW regulator??

Many thanks.

Due to valve position, I can't see the part number, and I'm afraid to move it in case it spills again, so I really don't have it. i know its a Magneti Marelli, used in submerged applications. As I understand, it comes in old VW engines with monopoint injection systems. I'll try to obtain some info with my mechanic

Thanks that would be great.

Volkswagon parts in a landy!!!! they do the trick. i just had to replace my heater core on my 300tdi defender and looked in my old wreak up the back and found the VW golf unit is only 8mm smaller with the same outlets and all, so a small packer made up and all reinstalled it seems to work better than original.
