Mean Green Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Morning all.... I need to source a replacement fuel injector pump for the 200tdi 90 that I use for work. So, where is the best place to source? Or, how easy it is to overhaul an injector pump (for someone only just above mechanical novice)? The vehicle symptoms are that it keeps running after the ignition is switched off, the lift pump and stop solenoid have both been replaced recently but the problem has returned, leading me to suspect the injector pump?

Coastcard Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Reconditioning the injector pump is certainly not a job for the novice. Replacing is even quite a tricky process and involves the same work as cambelt replacement. There are several posts on forums about diesels running on. This can be caused by a number of issues but basically revolves around the engine running on its own oil! Solutions seem to range from a cleaning/unblocking exercise to a rebore. So don't write off your pump until sure it is none of the other causes. Fingers crossed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 like the Turbo seals letting oil past and the engine consuming the oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Green Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 If the Solenod is removed, cleaned and replaced the problem goes away for a little while (Maybe 50-100 miles) Would this suggest the pump was at fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigster Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 yep it would.. find a specialist to recon it.. as already said 400quid.. job done. a new pump is in the region of 700 I think... recon and get them to tweak at the same time.. If the Solenod is removed, cleaned and replaced the problem goes away for a little while (Maybe 50-100 miles)Would this suggest the pump was at fault?

pigster Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 and it does fit perfect like... 'cos I have a disco one on my motor and now problems so far. well not the pump anyway... Just found this one on ebay here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Green Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thanks I spotted the ebay one and was going to ask if Disco pumps were the same. I am a little surprised at the pump going to quickly .. ok it is 1992 - but is has only done 74k miles. What tweaks can be done to the pump?

Andy Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 ive heard in the past that there is often a bit of swarf inside the pump that can jam the solinod. trying to remember how people said to get it out though? magnet on a stick? spray WD40 in? got to be worth a try before spending out?
