I've just stripped both sides of mine today to replace the seals and found a swivel bearing collapsed so pleased I did .It wasn't causing any problems just a bit of play. The seals aren't too bad a job the only problem I had was the securing bolts holding the swivel ball to the axle were...

you can check the resistance at the ecu multiplug to see if the wiring is ok plug pin 13 and 53 are engine temp sensor and should be 2280-2720 ohms at 20 deg c plug pin 13 and 52 are air temp sensor and should be 6030-6370 ohms at 20 deg c

useful post shocker I was having cold start problems and after weeks of searching and head scratching not to mention replacement parts I located the wires to the engine temp sensor and air temp sensor damaged and melted together down the back of the head .What a bugger to repair ,managed to...

can anyone help out with my latest question ? on the rear of an edc injection pump the outlets are stamped A,B,C,and D would it be right to think that A is to no 1 cylinder, B is to number 3 cylinder, C is to no 4 cylinder, and D is to no 2 cylinder as this is the firing order 1-3-4-2 as I have...

have a try with lancaster insurance or sureterm direct

thanks lynall that was the answer I was hoping for ,the ticking noise ,I should have worded it different I know the pump won't run unless the engine is running

does no one who read this have an auto ? it would only take 2 minites to listen to the pump

not on an incline parked flat in the garage ,fuel lines to the tank replaced ,sedementer removed

forgot to say when checking the pin outs at the ecu connector the coolant temp was way out so I replaced the sensor ,still not correct so started checking the wiring and located the wires melted together at the back of the cylinder head,so my original pump may be ok as it started fine when...

thanks discomania all leak off pipes and washers have been replaced ,fuel primed to filter and I put a clear piece of fuel pipe to the injection pump to check for air in the system now starting to think the second hand pump I fitted is faulty and not holding fuel pressure

could someone with a discovery 300tdi auto discovery please help when the ignition is switched on ,but not started does the injection pump run and continue to run all the time ?

no 4 injector is used on the autos for pump timing as they are edc pumps so it needs to stay in no 4 cylinder you can check the injector using a multimeter across the 2 pins in the connector from the injector it should read about 100 ohms Also the temp sensor on top of the cylinder head can...

any update on your problems mate ?

I've got a wiring diagram for the 300tdi with the edc pump which shows the ecu pinout location so the wiring could be checked from the ecu to the components with out removing the harness . did the man who checked it out say which circuit he suspected ? seems like a lot of time to do it if its...

no. 4 injector is used for timing and if you use an ohm meter across the 2 terminals inside the plug from the injector you should see about 100ohms the wire plugs into another connector then goes to the ecu if you have time you might read my problems ,

This may be a long post but would love any help please 300tdi auto .first I had a starting problem on a morning which seemed like glow plugs so I took them out and checked them and found 2 failed so I replaced the set ,no better next morning ,after the first start it would start fine the rest...

Hi m8 I've just changed the injection pump on my 300tdi auto with the fly by wire pump and its not a bad job ,it's just like putting on a new timing belt but removing the pump as well . yes it will draw air through the leak off lines can you tell me what the symptoms where that pointed you to...
