[tom1disco.300]

hi

i have only been driving my landy for a week now so i am expecting things to go wrong as it has not been on the road for a while, but i got back home today and could smell diesel so i lifted the bonnet with engine running and saw diesel dripping of the oil filter housing and onto the floor, so i was looking around the pump area and found a leak coming off of the throttel linkage where the throttel cable is connected to,has anyone else had this probolem? if so is it a new pump or an easy fix? he says haha

help would be much appriciated !

There are two "O" rings on the shaft, been there, done that..
Tis an easy fix

 

[tom1disco.300]

is that to stop them leaking or to stop them chuffing ?

I had a similar problem on a T25 VW van. I bought the o ring kit and twas an easy fix.

I thought the problem was a leak.

Yes, both shafts have two "O" rings. I did a small thread on this with a few pics on the "series" section, "yet another diesel leak part 2".

Diesel injection pumps are decent bits of engineering manufactured to high standards of precision. Dirt will wreck the thing quickly - so the utmost care must be taken when taking the thing apart.

I also had that, bought a lil lucas cav kit from ebay and swapped all the bits and bobs over. It came with new gaskets, nuts, filters and all that gubbins. Been fine since

 

[tom1disco.300]

well i fixed the 'o rings' but the gesket is rock hard on the side of the pump so it wont seal now so iv ended up buying a kit anyway so yea its got a bit of card imbetween it at the moment!

 

[mad git]

I was lucky, I've a big bag of gasket paper..

 

[tom1disco.300]

well its fixed with the proper gasket from dingocroft,and its kinda dry underneath so good enough as long as it aint pooring out,and i aint doing 5 miles per gallon thats fine!

 

[mad git]

At least you got it sorted

"kinda" dry underneath??
