tychoS Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 My 2,5 TD suddenly developed a diesel leak from the injector pump. For diagnostics I cleaned the pump using brake cleaner, covered it in baby powder and drove it for 5 minutes. As can be seen in the photo, the leak is in or around the round disc shaped thing on the underside of the pump. The engine runs perfectly. Starts easily. Smooth idle, smooth at speed, no apparent change in engine behaviour. But it is dripping quite a lot of diesel. The workshop manual is rather brief on the topic of the injector pump. It does not even tell the function of this particular part. I am looking for a source of information on these models of injector pumps or better yet some ones personal experience fixing a similar leak.

tychoS Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 I unscrewed the part, replaced the two o-rings, applied a tiny amount of liquid gasket to the mating surface and screwed the part back in place. It has so far kept dry for a long test drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
