200Tdi Fuel Leak?


Recommended Posts

This is on behalf of Megansfolly, who is currently in a workshop somewhere in Buckinghamshire...

He's fitted a 200Tdi into his 90 and his trying to prime the system with the hand pump on the lift pump.

When he does this, fuel spurts out of the underneath of the cambelt case.

Is this a sign of the injector pump needing new seals and if so, what's involved making the repair?

Or what else could be causing the fuel leak?

Any help gratefully recieived.

sounds like either a missing crush washer on the fuel inlet pipe from the lift pump or a internal seal in the injection pump, as the injection pumps are made to fine tolerances I wouldn't recommend stripping it in a standard garage enviroment, would be best removed & taken to a diesl injevtion specialist for repair/recalibration. as if any dirt even the smallest bit will cause untold damage to the pump.

cheers guys right i ll try and expalin it now

when lift pump is pumped by hand fuel enters the injection pump and then pours out and in to cambelt hosuing no fuel escaping from pump that can be see from out side bit once cam belt cover is of u can see it pouring out from behind the cog so i take it is this seal thats gone

second question as cambelt is covered in diesel do i need ot change it?

Yes, sort the injection pump out & replace the timing belt & make sure the casing is absolutly clean & dry before fitting the new belt. otherwise in a short period you'll be in there again.

200Tdi's seem to be gentle on thier timing belts, everyone Ive changed has looked in very good condition with no wear on the edges only minute cracks around the teeth when the belt is turned over & bent on itself.

Sometimes the seal just wears out, or the shaft rusts, which creeps under the lip of the seal and accellerates wear. Check there's no play in the shaft itself (if there is - you'll have to get it fixed or replace the pump).

The injector pump seal is a Delphi Item (no part number I'm afraid).

I did a thread on how to replace the inj pump shaft seal on a TD engine (pretty-much the same job), it seems to have disappeared though.

No woodruff key fitted to those pumps mate. If you check the drive flange you will not find a grove either.

You should have locked the shaft in place with the locking/clamping bolt on the side of the pump with the timing hole in the correct position ( 9.5mm pin ) then removed the flange.

Now you will have to re-time the pump drive...... <_<

Yes as your photo shows the shaft has a slot for the key but this only used for reference IE; to set the pump timing, The key way is lined up with the correct cylinder then plunger lift is measured fron the 12mm headed bolt hole between the 4 injector outlets.

If you can borrow a DTI gauge and fitting you can set this up your self !!!!!!
