Thank you very much for the instructions! I was able to do it in situ and fix a leak that I've had for over a year! Recently it wasn't leaking anymore, but almost pouring. When I bought my D1 300tdi, the pump was leaking, I've had another sh one fitted at a mechanic and that cost 1000e in total, only for it to start leaking as well after a few hundred kilometres! I only had to pay 30 pounds for the seal kit including the shipping and the work was pretty straightforward. Just keep everything as clean as possible, and if anyone wants to do it in situ, it isn't that tricky, you only have to move the black bracket out of the way for the o-ring to roll into place (very tight clearance between bracket and pump).

Great video! I watched your one about finding timing from the pump last year when I bought my TDI, helped me sort it out, and now you've done these ones for the rear and front seals as I've discovered mine are leaking - what a bloody godsend you are! Thanks for making these videos and giving clear working explanations of quite finicky jobs. Legend!

Great video. I just had to do all seals on my pump - because of bloody bio fuels: My pump held 200miles on the first HVO100 tank before it started to leak heavily on the rear o-ring. I took the high pressure part off and put a green Viton o-ring in (should be resistent to bio fuels). A little more delicate for the first time than doing it your way - but I'd liked to check the springs and other interiors too. Please keep on your great job - I've been enjoying dozens of your clips. Thank you so much :-)

Thanks for such a good video. After watching this I did mine in situ. Harder to keep the o ring from lifting out when in the car as even with inspection mirrors it’s difficult to keep in place on the underside. However I used thin nylon rope to ‘floss’ it in place whilst tightening it up. Your video really helped solve a last minute leak before a long journey. Grateful to you.

Thanks for the video, I really had no idea until I watched your vid, gave me the confidence to do the job myself. In fact I did it the hard way, on the vehicle, a bit fiddly but managable, so happy to start her up and no leaks. Range rover VM 2.4.

Interesting method Mike my VE pump was stripped down to replace all the seals etc....so the pump head was 'off' for all that stuff. Nice to see a different approach. My pump has 5 nozzles but I think that shouldn't make any difference to placing that seal in there.. On re assembly I used red rubber grease on the rubber parts..its what i had at the time...

@BritannicaRestorations Жыл бұрын

As a few have found out there are a lot of small parts in the back of the pump - It is possible to do on the engine, but if the back seal leaks, then you can be sure the front is not far behind!

Perfect timing to find your vid on this, mine just started to drip from this area and seems to be a bugger o ring, is the parts kit for this just the 20mm series ?

Ill add here, so I fixed it with pump in place,kinda fiddly but definately can be done:)thanks for this clip saved my butt

Thanks for the great video If doing whilst on the vehicle do you need engine at TDC and stop solenoid out. Much appreciated

@BritannicaRestorations Жыл бұрын

Don't know - simpler to do on the bench and do the front and rear seals at the same time

Thanx for the reply. Most likely I have the right O- ring already. VITON 55X2.5 ID (can you confirm?) . I will try and fix it on the car in the near future.

@BritannicaRestorations Жыл бұрын

Sorry I think the site mentioned 60 mm?

@scholtenez Жыл бұрын

Yes the O-ring I have has an inner diameter of 55 and outer diameter of 60. Thickness is 2,5mm

What did you do to make sure the springs in the pump are tight to the head ? Other video i saw had a way to make sure springs were tight before removing head for gasket ? May be i missed it ?

@BritannicaRestorations Жыл бұрын

You only need to expose the O ring to replace it = no more. But on one, the head was rusted to the body and jumped out, needing the end of the pump disassembling and cleaning

will it be the same process for a pump that’s for an intercooled engine?

Should be

I use Vaseline to act as a dressing for the rubber door seals. It stops the rattles when driving along, and keeps the rubber feeling soft and staying in shape.

@BritannicaRestorations Жыл бұрын

And stops them sticking in winter!

@vainkatry Ай бұрын

I dont have any vaseline, would regular grease damage the seal long term?

@BritannicaRestorations Ай бұрын

Depends on the seal quality - original should be Viton

@vainkatry Ай бұрын

@@BritannicaRestorations It is Viton as far as I know, from a complete Bosch kit. Some are green, some are black.
