Stripped and rebuilt the hpfp today and found the problem. There is a non return valve on the fuel inlet and that had slipped slightly into the body of the pump. That blocked the end plate on reassembly and stopped the seals from working properly. Diesel from the lpfp has been flowing along the...

I got back to this today before it started snowing. The engine is hydrolocked and there was a puddle of oil sitting in the inlet port on no 4 cylinder so I think there was a lot of oil coming down the intercooler pipe. Pump is off again and there is definitely something wrong there, about 1mm of...

Another useful thought Andy, thank you. How did the fuel get into the crankcase?

OK, the plan is: get the pump back out and see if pump turns, if yes then put it back and get the tool back out glow plugs out and see what comes out with them then see if the engine turns and what noises it makes when it does then a large mug of tea and a bit of a think

I think that I have to keep stripping, get the pump back out and see if it still turns or if the engine can be turned from the crankshaft pulley bolt. Do you know if the tool is threaded into the pump sprocket? I don't want to take the pump out then unwind the sprocket off the centre component...

The leak in the high pressure pump on my 2003 TD4 has been getting progressively worse, the drip is a little embarrassing and endless cranking to get the engine to start when hot also attracts attention. So I rebuild a pump from the spares donor and replaced all of the seals. Fitted the rebuilt...

Avez-vous trouvé le boulon qui maintient la boîte de vitesses à l'arrière du moteur et qui est caché par l'IRD? Translation: Have you found the bolt which hold the gearbox to the back of the engine and which is hidden by the IRD?

Translation: Hello Blodge, thank you for your advice, the ird in the photos does not look like my ird. My freelander td4 year 2004 engine bmw M47 box getrag. I remove 7 bolts that hold the BV to the bmw motor ... 1 bolt of 10 which keeps the thin plate to the BV ... 4 bolts which hold the ird to...

Je pense que c'est le boulon numéro 1 sur cette photo que vous trouvez difficile. I think that it is bolt number 1 in this photo that you are finding difficult.

Il n'y a qu'un seul. There is only one

If you have gone to the trouble of pulling the pump out and stripping the cylinder heads, why wouldn't you do the drive shaft rings as well? You don't want to reassemble it to the engine and find that you are leaking there too. On the other hand it is low(er) pressure on those seals so they are...

Sorry, I am catching up with the checks that you have already done but all information is useful and ruling out possibilities gets you closer to the answer. It still feels to me more like a fueling limitation. You said that the fuel pump in the tank had been changed so I am guessing that your...

What year / mileage is the car? Is the EGR valve blanked off and if not have you looked inside it for excessive gunk build-up - if it is stuck open then you will lose boost pressure. Gunk in the inlet manifold can affect the manifold pressure sensor and give false readings which would in turn...

Yup, hitting a wall at 80mph will definitely give you engine problems - like getting it out of the back seat. If you get to a point where there is no more power available then usually you have either reached the limit of the system to supply fuel or the airflow is restricted or you have a...

What's up with the engine? Didn't see that mentioned in this thread.

Did you move the car before you changed the crankcase breather? If so and the old filter was clogged then you probably had excessive pressure in the crankcase and taking that bolt out gave you a ventilation hole / geyser. Good job that you fixed it with the new breather, excess pressure can lead...

I think it did! The bolt hole on the left side of the engine looking from the front of the car. The other bolts go into blind holes but with that one, the bolt goes through the cam cover and into a very oily bit of engine. If you leave the bolt out of the hole then you can get a lot of oil...

The ring should have a diagonal cut which allows it to stretch just enough to get over the lip which holds the o ring in place. It should look like this: The first set of seals that I bought from EBay had a nylon ring with no split so I destroyed it trying to get it to fit.Second time around I...

The hardest bit is getting to the regulator to remove it. Arctic is suggesting above that you take out the starter motor which gives enough space to get behind the fuel pipes etc which you can see in his photos and which will be in front of the regulator when you are looking from the front of...

Ce boulon est très difficile, vous devrez le trouver au toucher, mais il doit être retiré, sinon l'IRD ne peut pas être retiré et le BV ne peut donc pas être supprimé. J'ai utilisé une douille montée au bout d'une longue chaîne de rallonges. Cela traverse le haut de l'IRD et peut être tourné...
