Jiminy Cricket Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 More fuel leaking - this time from the other end! Before posting for help I looked in the tech archive at the v detailed how to on fuel injector pump spindle replacement. If my pump is leaking only when running from the rear of the pump somewhere in the region of a small nut / allenkey bolt just below the fuel line outlets - is this the issue.........ie is this my fuel throttle spindle leaking and therefore is this how to the one I need to follow? Many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 If the fuel is running out from under the gubbins your throttle cable is connected to then the leak is the spindle. To me it sounds more like the distributor pump o ring is leaking or maybe one of the plates that covers the timing advance piston. Give your pump a good, thorough clean and see where its leaking from insead of guessing. The pumps are very easy to reseal if your willing to have a go at it.

Jiminy Cricket Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Thanks for the response - not sure why I should delete....? The leak appears to be from base of the plate that the fuel lines come out from, will have another look tomorrow after a good clean. Dose anyone have link for a Bosch pump - as fitted to a 96 300tdi exploded diagram - the worshop maual does not have much detail as far as I can see.

reb78 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Not sure this is your problem, but a possibility: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=74323 If you have a search, JST had a thread around the same time as my thread above that had some helpful fip diagrams.

vulcan bomber Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Delete my double post.. Google has lots of diagrams if you look. The ve pump is a modular pump so the bits that are different are actualy much the same so the diagrams look the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
