HP FUEL PUMP TD4

SouthYorks · 2025-02-03T15:40:33+0000

Back yet again

2006 2.0 TD4 MK1 AUTO
In the middle of removing my high pressure fuel pump.
Current stage -

Battery disconnected
Intake manifold stripped
Starter motor stripped

Ready to lock the flywheel , then support engine , remove engine mount and push the pump owt. Only problem is the information I have is for a manual and states the flywheel should be locked using a bolt . My auto does not have the same flywheel plate though .
Any advice ??

Hi,

Where do find that information that you need to lock the flywheel ?

The hp pump is still in place ?

Do you have this tool :

Ragards

You can lock the drive plate on an auto. But for HP pump would question why you would do that. Use the tool above.

Thanks guys
I do have the specialist tools LRT 12-178 ect.
I wanted to lock the flywheel as apparently other peoples engine are turning over when trying to remove the nut to fit the specialist tool. And I imagine the engine will turn over when trying to tighten the same nut (behind the Allen key blanking plate)
The video link in question also locks his flywheel , so that's why I was enquiring about locking the flywheel.
Is your guys general consensus to go ahead without locking the flywheel then ?
Thanks all !

Use the crankshaft bolt head, and hold it still with a long spanner wedged against the ground or some other structural part underneath.
Alternatively just impact the spanner removing the pulley bolt. It's not done up very tight, so a quick tap on the socket handle will normally crack them loose.

On the L Series diesel, the timing of injection is all done by the pump, but the TD4 is by the injectors, the pump just provides the pressure to the common rail.

However, isn't it driven by the timing chain?

That being the case - yes, you would need everything locked or else you're in trouble when you start releasing the chain.

I have got a crankshaft pulley locking tool do we all think this would be as safe as locking the flywheel up ? Thanks

Yes, that's perfect. No need to mess about with the flywheel.
The pump nut is only something like 40Nm IIRC.
