rick Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 mines on its way out, and I can get the Delphi one for 1/3 the price of the stealer OE one ! In my experience, CAV stuff is top shelf, just never had to swap out the 300 Tdi lift pump before. Any opinions ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 The 300TDi lift pump has no woodruff key on the shaft where the belt sprocket is to assist in re-setting the timing. Not sure how you would go about setting it up. Chaging it is no harder than a 200TDi though. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 ummm, you've lost me Les. I was asking if anyone has had any problems with the Delphi/CAV lift pump (not injector pump ) thanks for the reply, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacknz Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Why not just put an electric pump on it? either leave the old one in situ as a blank or take it out and make a plate to cover the hole. A 'leccy pump is really useful when you have to bleed the system, probably a damn site cheaper too. I guess a petrol one would do the trick, someone over on the 'Antipodean Forum' came up with that idea. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 G'day Jack, yeah, I also suggested an electric pump to someone on the AULRO forum a few weeks back as one of the fella's on the AULRO mailing list did it a few years ago, (before I found mine leaking). I was going to buy and fit a Facet (or similar) fuel pump, but I emailed one of the local parts houses yesterday just to see what they could do and they can supply the Delphi one for A$76, incl GST vs A$230+ for a genuine one mail order. I reckon I'd be hard pressed to buy and fart around fitting an electric one for that, so I was just asking the collective wisdom here if the Delphi/CAV pump was OK.
