Thread: Injector pump tweaking and upgrading turbos on my 300Tdi D1

The joy of a cheap job can fade into the ether pretty darn quick when things go pear shaped. .. you do need to get someone familiar with these engines to take a look. I can't yet see your video but when i can I'll let you know what i think...☺

Jc Uptech know what they are doing and have a good strong following and i would recommend them if that is any justice
The big problem here is the distance from the Op

I passed that test with flying colours!
A confirmed glutton for punishment was the end result .. hence my lifelong preference for most Rover products .. up to and not including the horrid Honda years!

Not just the distance, the reality of the public transport system has more to do with it than anything else .. not easy to go from Kew to Monbulk via public transport.

Ben came over to my place a short while back and we think we sorted the rattly noise.
Hopefully he'll confirm it when he's available again, but the new fuel pump has a slightly loose priming lever. Doesn't really lock into the up position as well as the old pump does.
So the lever flaps up and down like the clappers as the pump does it's pumping thing.
We flipped it back up again and the rattle definitely came from there once it was locked back up again. Question is, with the vibes of a Tdi, will the priming lever stay locked upwards.

I've been thinking about it, and if it comes loose again, it(the lever) may need a slight amount of pressure (towards the front of the car) to create a better frictional resistance on the body of the pump to stop it from loosening again.

From the short drive we did around my place, his Tdi sounds solid and strong too.
The only problem I now have, after that drive, is that his new Wrangler muddies have me hooked! ... and I'd prefer to spend those $s on things I want/need more than a set of tyres I won't need for a couple more years yet!

Just thinking, they are probably worth noting as a repair centre in that part of the world then. Very few places want to work on these cars😣

Distance I don't mind!(my mechanic is over 110klm away from me) and just the other day .. having a need to get out, I drove to central west NSW fro a couple of days R&R .. so distance .. not a problem.

And my thoughts re helping is that most of the time you learn something yourself, in the process.
Done that too many times now to know that's why I like 'helping' folks.

Built walls, verandahs, concreted driveways .. etc. always learn a new thing or two ever time.

Helping Ben today helped me to confirm a suspicion on my Tdi today .. so it ended up being more of an enlightenment for me than of real help to Ben.
