Scotts90 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 All pipes back in the correct ports ? Anything kinked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave88sw Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Was the old pump covered in black sooty deposits? Sounds like the injector washers are blowing by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnoK Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Has the pump primed the system completely to purge air out? When you turn the key on you will hear the pump running for a while, this is the purge/prime feature. It should be a gentle hum, if it's making a racket, there is either air in the system or it's a dud pump. I know the pump is new, but that is no guarantee of anything, quality wise. If the vehicle is a Discovery you can also turn on the key and push the throttle pedal fully down and release it 5 times to initiate the purge. I'm not sure if this also applies to the Defender.
