fuel leak p38 diesel

[Saint.V8]

Just to clear up the pump from a omega will or wont work?
Just found an entire car for sale as an mot fail £260.
Would it be easyer just to swop it? Pull of the bits i can reuse then scrap the rest?

Pump mechanical will work...you'll need to change the electronic part for the Range Rover one as the Omega (or BMW) won't talk with the Engine ECU....

So if you're doing that you may as well just buy the seal kit and sort the one that's leaking in your engine bay and save yourself some time and money?!

No even worse than usual took a good 6-7 seconds to get to 30mph under full boot
But the strainge thing is just been out again and all is fine

MAP sensor, in tank fuel pump, turbo pipes delaminating are all possibilities.

I was hopeing - praying you would say somthing like its air in the injection pump due to the leak or its because the fuel pressures down
Just trying to see the light lol dont need another problem the wifes already giving me ear ache over the fuel leak

 

[gfromleeds]

Anyone got the part number for the fuel pump and or the seal kit?
My dads mate is an enginer and he says hes striped loads of fuel pumps and he said he'll do it on his day off for £100 but he wants me to find the parts but i cant wait for ebay to deliver cos he wants the car tuesday.

 

[JohnnyCrash]

Right ive changed the top gasket and the leak seems to be intermitant now
When i first start it up it leaks like a good un but after 5mins or so it stops, it seems its leaking from somwere low down now so it looks like its gona have to be eather a new pump or a refurb
Ive found a replacement pump for £60 ive asked the guy what its out of and he said bmw but keeps saying it will work in any car ie... Omega bmw rangerover
I got him to give me the part no and this is what hes give me
Partno.0460 406 944 Ver 515 2244966

£60 I wouldn't touch with a barge poll get a telescopic mirror and torch and have a root about there are two oval gaskets either side one can be got at in situ the other can not look like mirror time I did notice in that kit on eBay I couldn't see the oval shaped out side gasket .ps hope you left the air intake off as if not more work

Dont think its them looks like it ferther back near the injector out pipes might be the second gasket
I getting tired of second guessing thinking of just getting another pump cos this car needs to be able to tow my caravan to cornwall easter weekend

 

[Saint.V8]

The pump will mechanically work with the Range Rover...but you will have to change he electrical gubbins on the top of the pump for the one on the Range Rover else it won't talk to the Range Rover ECU.....

As saint has said, but I don't believe in taking chances on a pump that has no history could even be worse than what you have your has a leak but works get it reconditioned your have your pump timings reset and another ten years free pump motoring or £60 and removal refit charges on a chance

 

[Grit Valve]

You nothing to lose by doing the second gasket follow johnnys guide , have you taken up his offer ? If not mark everything make sure it locates back in the correct place score the side where you can get a clear view and reassemble if you match the sliding part in the right place the revs will be ok if you alter it by sliding Position in the wrong place your revs will go haywire your not altering the timing just the revs .

It's not unknown for an injector pipe to fracture.
