Re: Injector pump replace or repair

Thanks for the info. It's not a cold start start problem (checked all of that a couple of years ago from advice on forum) It's a cold running problem, after 2 years and many garages this garage confirmed what a lot of people said on here, 99% sure it's seals in the injector pump gone hard, this mean...

Injector pump replace or repair

Hello All from New Zealand. I'm looking for some advice on the Injector pump issue that i've had for a very long time now. I've a 2.5 TD AFT Bongo.

Would a Petrol fit instead of Diesel?

My 1996 AFT with a Diesel 2.5 WLT engine now needs some major work.
So i'm thinking a new engine, but, would a petrol engine fit rather than the WLT?

Thanks

Re: Cold starting issue (yet again, sorry)

The heart of the problem is the fact that it keeps cutting out when started from cold. I notice there were a couple of others on here with the same issue, and the main reason for this thread was to see if they had solved the issue. For me, this has been going on for 2 years, and i've been to 4 garag...

Re: Cold starting issue (yet again, sorry)

At Ady Solenoids seem to work ok, when starting seems to rev' in the region of 900 - 925. No vbration upon starting normally. Gasket fails in the same way, blowing outwards, not had any sucking in up to now. I'll try that with the rear box, as soon as the rain stops. I had a new rear box put on 14 m...

Re: Engine cut out

This Bl**dy van!!!!!!!!! It's been fine for a short while, and not it's being the worst it's ever been. It's started to just cut out now as I'm going along. It just loses power, I push on the throttle and nothing, just dead, it will then either cut right out and die so I have to start it again, or o...

Re: Engine cut out

Re: Engine cut out

Okay an update. Firstly, sorry I forgot to mention on the first posting that the fuel filter was replaced about 6 weeks ago. I’ve now changed both valve switches mentioned above (the right hand one finally blew on Sat’) and the plunger appears to be working I.E. it now engages prior to start, and re...

Re: Engine cut out

That is the one! Spoken to Mech' and he confirmed it was the right hand side. Could you advise on the setting for the plunger? My plunger seems to have so much thread remaining out the back that when it does engage it's 'only just' making contact, to the point where I'm not sure if it puts any press...

Re: Engine cut out

Thanks for all the advice, I am working my way through it all and hope to get the garage to work with me to cure it. The Mech' who did the service advised me he found a 'split pipe and damaged switch/valve so he glued it for now' I've yet to pin him down to show me in detail what he did (heavy snow,...
