300TDI revving problems

You jumped straight into catastrophe mode! Taking the injection pump off the engine and then taking it to pieces would be the last thing I would think about when I had issues like you suffered.

You now have two issues, your pump needs reassembled properly however your original problem may still exist. Your issues could have been put down to something as simple as a blockage in the stand pipe or pipework etc.

With all due respect I would suggest you send your pump into a pro to be reassembled or if you think you have now done this send it for testing and calibration - then once it is fitted (and you know for sure it works) if you suffer any other issues you then know for sure the pump is fine!

Hi Discomania, I am in the process of acquiring quotes on the cost of calibrating which is around £250.

I didn't jump straight into catastrophe mode as I made checks for 4 days before I decided to take the pump out. I now realise that it wasn't the pump, but having it sent off to a professional is what I've decided to do because I don't have the time/expertise to screw around with it anymore

Thanks for your reply.

Have you considered trying to pick up a good used inj pump off a scrapper engine, many of these engines have gone to scrap because of head/head gasket issues, the pumps are pretty bullet proof and will survive almost everything except for "tinkering", it may be a cheaper way to go, most diesel repair shops will not want to just put your pump back together without going right through it.

Stripping an injection pump, in particular a mechanical one, when you don't know what you are doing, IS catastrophe mode. The machines used to set up and calibrate injection pumps cost thousands of pounds. It is a specialised job not an happy amateur weekend playtime job.

Does anyone know where I can get some fuel line with the fittings attached, because as I mentioned before when I was moving it, it's old so brittle and snapped. I can't seem to find any for it?

Any help with that would be great.

Thanks,

Tom

Are you after the injection pump to injector pipes?

Search fuel pipe on Paddocks will get you some. Get part number would make it easier.

Hi there, no I'm after the pipe from top of fuel filter to the injection pump. I've done that on paddocks but don't get the fuel line I need..

May be useful to help you search.

But @Flailbasher

It is probably one of these.....

Is it a genuine 300tdi or has it been a transplant.

Probably easier to get some quality fuel hose from a factors and cut to length yourself.
