ronnie_rotten Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 You may have seen my other thread, if not you may still know the answer. Is it possible that somebody fitted a 10p head to a 15p engine in my truck? I have a 15p engine number on the sticker on the rocker cover, though that proves nothing. There is a fuel cooler (15p only?) But a 2 pipe fpr. Short of taking off the rover cover and checking the colour of the injectors, what else can clue me in on what I have in there? Also....The truck seems to run ok allowing for the leaky fpr- would that be the case of a 10p head was fitted to a 15p block? Soooo confused....

steve200TDi Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 The 15p head has an external fuel return pipe. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnie_rotten Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Yeah, but mine has a 15p number and no external pipe, so is it a 15p with a 10p head? Does that even work? The 15p head has an external fuel return pipe. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_pending Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Can you not just fit a 10p fpr? Is that not what is currently fitted but leaking? All td5 blocks are the same afaik, so yes any td5 head would fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, when you have the 15p part sat on the bench you want to make sure you're barking up the right tree before splashing out again. I'm trying to find someone with the world's best 'spares shed' who fancies a straight swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean that by putting a 10p head on a 15p you are getting fuel delivered at a different pressure? Will this cause issues with how the engine runs?Was your problem you had the wrong head on your block? What was the result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
