Well the disco an it's air ingress put pay to me joining you guys today, an new fuel sender unit is on order but I'm gutted I missed another outing.
Did you guys have fun ?
Can we have some pictures.
When are we out laning again next ?
I fitted a new lift pump today, but it's still drawing in air.
So that's a new fuel line from tank to lift pump, new clear lines from lift pump to filter/filter to injection pump.
The only thing left now is the tank sender unit which I have just ordered.
Some of the J**ps had the same 4 separate head engine, I think the later ones had the single head engine.
Have you seen the price on just one of those heads :eek:
One of my co-pilots has offered to pay to get in, so I may be there, as long as my daughter moving house on Friday goes to schedule.
So much to do, so little time, so little money, and on top of that I run a disco.
Just because the lift pump works (as in pumps fuel) it doesn't mean all is ok.
I've just tracked down my bad running to the lift pump pulling in air.
I knew air was in the system as the filter was not full of fuel, a clear pipe added from lift pump to injection pump showed air bubbles,
after...
I'm really sorry to hear this, however for a lad your age it was a big undertaking.
I'm sure someone on here will take it on. Arron, are you looking for your next project yet ?
Been having some running issues with my 300tdi, today I tracked it down it the lift pump pulling in air, new one is on order.
I also noticed my rear diff is leaking, something else to sort.
I done some welding on the rear cassis the other month, took the hammer to everything to make sure I got it all, last week I found another small hole :rolleyes:
Why worry if you're going to make your own,
just make a plate that will bolt to the bracket in the picture and run some steel bar back towards the one on the exhaust.
Mine would start fine with normal running, but if I had been towing on long journeys (engine working hard for some time) the starter would be dead, nothing at all when turning the key until it cooled down a bit.
Once I replaced the connector it's been fine for almost a year.
