TD5 Power Loss Fixed. Guess What It Was

ak · 21st March 2007, 08:50 AM

Hi Guys well following on from my thread last week, into Coopers yesterday and the problem was the "fuel pump".

They first put it on a air flow meter, dyno-ed it, checked fault codes and nothing showed up wrong put it down to a fuel pump, new fuel pump in tested and good as gold. I was on my way back to the Coast by lunch time.

Ward said he has seen them either go alltogether or like mine fine on light throttle and not be able to pump fuel under high pressure.

On the bright side at least I was not on a trip and have to get the thing trucked.

So anyone with a TD5 pushing 6 years and 130K plus keep this in the back of your mind.

My 110 is twenty one years old and pushing 330,000 - and still has the original fuel pump. Tell me more about the improvements in the last twenty years?

For that matter the 2a fuel pump is nearly fifteen years old - but it doesn't do a lot of miles.

Yes, I was thinking the same it's a bit worrying really.

Ward said they had put about 5 fuel pumps into cars since the new year. Although Coopers would look after just as many cars as the dealers they are always busy.

Arghhh....come on John, don't be like that.

Fuel economy and power are two improvements that come to mind, but I know where you are coming from!!!

130,000km! You did well.

We often replace completely failed ones at around 100 to 110 k, and anyone attemptimng a mainland trip from here with about those k's gets a new one before they leave.
