Got a used 200tdi diesel pump and fitted it today.
Got a problem as the circular black plate that protrudes into the timing belt chest (the one you stick the drill bit in to time it up) was missing from the shaft on the pump.
No problem I thought, I'll pull the one of me old pump with me puller and stick it on the 'new' one.
Did that no problem but when I come to put it on the 'new' pump there is no way of lining it up on the shaft. There is a woodruff key slot in the shaft but the circular plate has none, the old pump has a woodruff key slot as well but none in the plate.
So can anyone tell me how to line the circular plate up correctly on the shaft please.
AND.. the 'new' pump has a lot more resistance than the old one and it clicks noisily when turned....is this normal and will it quiet down when pumping fuel.
Pheew. lots of problems, thought I'd have it done this afternoon.
