could some one please describe to me what symptoms would occur with a faulty/failing low pressure fuel pump and the same for a high pressure fuel pump on a cdti engine. Read more
Dealer is going to "try" to fix it!!Equipment for testing the L/P pump isn't exactly high tech,a simple pressure gauge and a graduated container will do.ok,maybe they don't have a 'scope,they should have,but come on,I've tested a L/P pump out put on a breakdown with couple of bit of pipe,a compressor gauge and a Coke bottle!not exactly rocket science.and yes the pump then was shot,low pressure and delivery.Dealer is going to try to fix it!!
Can anyone advise please. I have removed a Lucas diesel fuel injector pump - I have locked the engine at TDC as prescribed by the manual. I am puzzled by the pundits who suggest inserting 2 bolts through the fuel pump sprocket to 'lock the fuel pump in position' . When I took the pump off (what a pig). I then removed the centre nut and ended up with sprocket/flange bolted together BUT seperate from the pump - the keyway is obviously still there on the pump BUT surely any reconditioned pump will have been turned so how will I know that it is set up right? i.e my engine is at TDC and if it was running should be about to squirt fuel to No1 cylinder? Does ONE rotation of the pump = fuel to all cylinders? Help please! Read more
Well done, nothing like that feeling of 'how much would it have cost if a garage had done it'.
Hi Gents, just wondering if anyone can help me, airbag light on cruise control not working, all points to a duff clockspring. After consulting the finest brains in my local Ford dealers, i find out i have two options one with a steering angle sensor, one without and furthermore they cant tell me which one my car is fitted with, or what a steering angle sensor does. All i got was a load of waffle about having to have it callibrated [ more exspense] after the repair completed. Anyone point me in the right direction, many thanks guys
If its an 09 surley its still under warranty ?
I have a citroen relay 2.2 hdi 2007, and when cold i start it as normal and it starts immediatly every time, however the van has a missfire at idle only when cold, it clears as i increase the revs to say above 1500rpm, once warm its totally gone even at idle, the van pulls well, also regardless whether its hot or cold on idle i have a Diesel knock which to me seems louder that usual, has anyone got any ideas what may be causing this?, please note i have had a code reader cheack for fault codes and there are none present Read more
I would suspect a faulty injector, especially if it only does it at a certain speed.

Hi,
Can anyone give me an idiots guide of how to test the glow plugs ?... Read more
Be very careful - this is a late VAG diesel and it will have low voltage (ie less than 12V) plugs. Typically, they will be rated at 5V or 7V.
The system is designed such that they initially receive 12V to heat them up quickly but the voltage is then reduced by mark/space ratio control to give a mean value equal to the rated voltage of the plugs. On the latest engines the switching is sequenced between the plugs to give a uniform load on the system....
Just found out we need new rear shock absorbers for our 2007 XC 90 (75,000 miles). Volvo are asking £884.40 for the parts and £110 labour. Given this is an important job, is this a fair price to pay?
And, having just had a 4 x wheel alignment last month, due new tyres will this have to be done again at extra cost? Thanks. Read more
They look like standard shockers to me, without self levelling action, too thin from memory.
Probably not interchangeable unless you change the springs too...the self levellers during use pressurise themselves and the springs used with them are softer, you get the benefit of excellent load carrying whilst maintaining a softer ride unladen....
