[@GerhardBothaWFF]

My TD5 Defender has done 400 000 km so far. The turbo, the common rail system and injectors are still original. It has been serviced (mostly) on time. It has had good and shitty fuel. It is remapped and has a larger intercooler- a 2.5 litre turbo diesel doing 135kw and about 400Nm of torque. Diesels, turbos and ECU’s are not the things to worry about. This thing has been all over Southern Africa- doing highway and off-road. Sensors like air density etc are the biggest problem, but compared to maintaining a mechanical pump system I take electronic every day of the week.

[@autoadviser2779]

I agree! Many diesel cars are very hardy and don't cause much trouble with proper and timely maintenance.

[@willj7628]

TD5 was designed to run on poor quality fuel as it was specifically designed for military use originally

[@gregdee530]

I'm looking at buying a diesel cab chassis for work, and have never owned one. Everything I've read so far indicates injectors may need replacement a bit over every 100,000 kms, so 400 + is impressive.

Now I own a 2011 GH Mazda 6 Sports Hatchback and it has a fuel injector system which is all that I know about these injector systems. I believe my own car's fuel delivery system that is not quite the same as this example in this video but I still wonder if maintenance on the engine fuel delivery system is as necessary on my petrol powered car as a diesel powered vehicle?

[@autoadviser2779]

Yes. You don't have the same fuel system, but it needs to be maintained too! Good fuel is relevant for everyone! Watch lambda and other sensors, change air filter and plugs in time and your car will drive without problems!

[@iancormie9916]

Wonder what the overall operating cost of modern diesels is compared to older engines. It boils down to radically increased maintenance costs including sensors vs higher fuel consumption.

[@autoadviser2779]

Yes, maintaining a diesel is not as cheap as it seems. But with proper maintenance, diesels run great!

[@alouisschafer7212]

Nah not radically increased at all. Engine oil for Diesels is fairly cheap, Fuel additives to help lubricity and maintain a clean fuel system are also cheap, EGR Cleanout is a diy job. My diesel car has 250.000km on it and the drivetrain can do over half a million but the transmission will go around 500k. Fuel mileage is really good.

[@alouisschafer7212]

Fuel quality is key. Do your maintenance. The older Bosch commonrail systems you find in most Eurodiesels from the 90s into the 2010s last a long time. Lots of diesel vans and cars here will still have the original injectors and high pressure pump even at 300.000-400.000km and 20 years old. The high pressure pumps pretty much never die when there are issues its the injectors or a sensor. I need to do some research into the exact types of pumps Bosch made during that time. Mercedes used Delphi Piezo Injectors in the OM651 engine and since they were junk they went back to standard Bosch solenoid injectors in the OM654. The older OM611 and 646 aswell as the 3.0 V6 OM 642 were friggin indestructible, they were made during the golden era before everything started being complete junk across the board from all brands. Standard Bosch Solenoid Injectors are the best commonrail injector for cars and vans. Cant speak for large Diesels in Trucks and Buses.

[@autoadviser2779]

Yes, I agree completely. I have a diesel bmw e46 with 300k km mileage, the injectors were like from the factory and there were no issues with the fuel system. Engine m47n 2.0 diesel

[@butchfajardo8832]

How long is prolonged idling?

[@autoadviser2779]

There is no need to warm up a diesel car, the diesel warms up better while driving. It is better to drive straight away, but do not accelerate, allowing the engine to warm up gradually.

[@pedrosobral9564]

Are the high pressure pumps self priming (in case air enters the system when performing a fuel filter change)?

[@autoadviser2779]

Require manual priming

[@norbiesison9257]

The high pressure pump is supplied with fuel from a low pressure feed pump (usually found in the sending unit assembly) which then flows through the diesel filter/water separator before entering the high pressure pump.

[@llewvirtue861]

Yes or there is a hand pump on the filter housing

[@muhkuh5361]

On my sprinter om651 your supposed to let the low pressure fuel pump run for ~2 minutes by turning on the ignition. This primes the filter automatically, as you can hear fuel flow through it pressing out air back in the main tank.

[@jkontina]

Quality fuel, that's why they put bio diesel in it?

[@em4703]

That doesn't make it lower quality, it just brings other problems for older cars as biodiesel can react with older rubbers or gum up at lower temperatures. Fun fact, biodiesel, even at 7% by volume, offers better lubricity than the high sulphur diesel fuels of older times.

[@autoadviser2779]

Not every engine will be able to run on biodiesel.

Cp3 is the best high pressure pump for a CR

[@imrebese5502]

CP3 has one piston only, and earlier models wear out within 300 000 kms easily. The newer, improved ones are better, but nothing beats CP1 when it comes to reliability, besides minor fuel leaks that can be fixed easily, it outlasts the lifetime of the whole engine.

just preserv everything on a shelf. get your self an old style inline mechanical pump. preferably from an old merc , if you can find one that fits yours engine layout. do get the injectors too. no electronics involved. and not allergic to today's low quality fuel. allso keeps your common rail system in good condition, where it belongs. on a shelf in the workshop.

[@autoadviser2779]

Is this from your experience using it or in theory?

[@gezimlimoni2319]

Could you give me some advice for 2.0tdi, 140ps common rail Audi A3, year 2011? What does it fit, please?

[@nagyandras8857]

​@@gezimlimoni2319 not sure about the 2.0 blokk , 1.9 pd engine we did convert whit a tdi headswap and the pump from the regular tdi version of the engine. Highly likely the same methood would work. The head swap was not an outmost necessity but the pd head would had to be repaired , and we had a td head on hand that was refurbed allready. Bolted on whitout any modification. The pump went on allso whitout issues. We have a ford 2.0 tddi engine , that had simply no space for the merc pump. It ran like dogshite whit a simple tdi pump. Thing did not have enough timing advance to get it past 3k rpm. We went for a smaller pump from the 1.6 wv block , the one that was made for indirectly injected engines. Whit that it ran perfectly. Was the 115 hp base model. Whit a turbo swap to gt1749vb it made 170 hp whitout any other modification . So my advice is to visit s used parts dealer and see if they have any of the 2.0 engines you got , usually for a small price you csn check the fitment of a pump whit those parts. What allso needs to be verified if the head can accept the injectors suitable for the pump that fits. Quite likely anyone who salvages cars should have the required parts. You may need the pedal rack to have a cable operated pump instead of electric. Some can be modded, some not. The longest running converted from common rail to td we had did about 300.000 km after conversion. Good as new. Starts cold and hot Just like new. Its in use for transporting foreign workers back and forth. So does highway mainly. Its the 1.9 pd wv actually. The bottom end has least 500.000 km+ in it , still no sign of it wanting to die. When the conversion was done we did replace the conrod and crank bearings. Its been running for 6 years now. No smoking , not ever a check engine light of any sorths (duh.. its mechanical..) it ain't leaking or eating oil. 10.000 km oil change period. It did had glow plugs replaced. And thats all. Thing keeps working as it should.

[@autoadviser2779]

Watch the video again!

[@frasercrone3838]

This is over dramatic. The same things that damaged the older mechanical diesel fuel components damage a common rail system as well. Poor quality fuel regarding Sulphur content is bad for all diesel injection systems. Storage tanks at fueling points are another because of moisture and bacteria contamination and the fact that many fueling stations do not have adequate filters on their pumps due to cost cutting on maintenance. The next main factors for fuel system damage is the fuel filter in your vehicle and how often it is changed. Diesel fuel lubricates the fuel system so anything that reduces that lubricating quality will cause wear problems. A common rail system circulates a lot of fuel so if you run your fuel tank at a low level often then the fuel will heat up more on longer runs and this can reduce the lubricating quality of the fuel and it can also lead to condensate moisture forming in the fuel tank and even bacteria growth so the inclusion of a clear glass container before your fuel filter is a good addition to see if you have a moisture problem or bacteria growth. It's all about good maintenance and observation.

[@Andreschannel_SA]

This is my thought exactly. All of these problems are not isolated to common rail diesel injection systems. They are related to anything mechanical.
