Bloody injection pump

[NOZ]

Venting my frustrations guys, I spent 2k overhauling the pump on our TDI 14mths ago only to have it start leaking again :evil: .

M.R Autos give you 12 months warranty ( my luck )

Although Harry from M.R says he will look after me on the price but still more bloody $$$.

Some days I wonder why I like Land Rovers :roll:

i feel for you, been lucky my overhaul has been faultless, good luck getting it fixed.
we love our landies just keep saying it over and over eventually you will re brain wash your self.

Hi Noz,

Thats a bit of bad luck.

How many Kms before the first rebuild and how many since?


just wondering what to keep an eye out for and how many dollars to save up.

I hate to mention this - my fuel pump is untouched since new - 410,000km and twenty years. (Isuzu - actually Nippon-Denso)

I hate that you mention it aswell :wink:

NOZ,
Trust me its all cars that will give you grief after they are 5 years old. I also have a SR Falcon AU which is a great car that’s while I still have it but I had an ABS problem and was charged by Ford $450.00 fault finding for an $80.00 part. Total of $530.00 to fix a little ABS computer wheel that apparently tracks what the wheel is doing.
This is after putting the car in to another trusted mechanic he had the car for a day and could not find the source the problem and said you had better take it to Ford.

Don’t give you Landy a hard time its not its fault. :wink:

Hi Mark
Has QLD just changed to low sulphur diesel in the past 6 months????
When it was introduced to WA 5 years or so ago it caused problems with certain types of rubber seals in injector pumps.
You may be lucky,it maybe just a seal replacement.

All the seals in the pump were replaced 01/05

Almost know how you feel, just got back from trip away without 130 - in the shop for new injector pump - under $2k but that isn't putting it in.

When the old one died it was ****ing diesel out of the top. Mechanic said $30 seal would have fixed the leak but the rest of the pump was gone.

Hope yours is just the seal.

Cheers

Well Harry from M.R Auto spent 3hrs on my pump today and after a couple of attempts he found the problem. Nothing major after all.

I would like to say that the guys from M.R are fantastic especially Harry, they were well with in there right to charge me for there efforts today but declared that even though the pump rebuild was 14 months ago (12 months warranty) they would do it as free bee to keep good face.

I will be going down there tomorrow with a carton of XXXX for a Friday afternoon beer.

"THANKS AGAIN HARRY"

[abaddonxi]

So what was wrong?

Glad to hear it wasn't major.

Cheers

Where the injector lines come away from the pump, one of the lines was leaking from the coupling to the pump. Sounds simple but a bugger to find
