    Good work Josh.

    I don't think this problem is too common, I don't remember reading about it before anyway, but good to know it can be fixed easily.

    good fix

    Hi Josh

    Good on you for having a go!

    Is your injector pump electrically controlled or does your model still have a throttle cable ?


    Cheers Arthur

    fuel leak

    Just did a bit of tuning on my pump and noticed the leak. I believe its the same one under the linkage that the cable hooks to right? What did you do where did you get the parts? How long does it take? I am a Heavy vehicle mech so doing it is no problem just dont want to go at it blind since I am doing it at work.

    Cheers

    I would be quite interested in knowing where to source the seals as well.

    Cheers

    Talking

    Any diesel injection service shop can supply the bits, bought the "o" ring and pump cover seal from a diesel shop here in Cairns, "o" ring cost $1.00, the pump cover seal cost $4.00. about 15 minutes to fix, my old '97 300tdi starts and runs great now.
