200tdi problems

maybe this is a silly question - did the engine run before you fitted it ?

you might need to get the injectors reconditioned as they are clearly not passing any fuel - was the engine left standing outside for a while, or has it been running SVO which has clogged ?

oh and can you post a few pics of yer engine bay, i've done a few of these conversions now but it's always nice to see how other people do things

have you tried cracking the injectors off and bleeding it to make sure they are getting diesel?

the stop solenoid is a bastard fer breaking up in the 200 pump, they are a bollocks to fit as well, you need a speshul spanner

Bought the engine off a guy on this site who said it was running, no reason to disbelieve him. The engine has been lying since last august while I did some welding on the bulkhead etc but kept it garaged. The problem is that no fuel appears to be passing the fuel injection pump I.e. there is clearly a supply going into the pump when I bleed at the connection but nothing at the other side when pumped manually or by turning over the starter motor.

Wondered maybe if the electric shut off switch is jammed or something similar??

As far as I know no SVO used but don’t think the problem is the injectors.

its the solenoid, they cost about a tenner, max,

who did yer buy it off, shame the fecker
