Yup. Some (Dandywarhol notably) have nifty hands and replaced the O ring seals on the side plates without removing the pump - I did my back in trying. Wheelquick did my offside one quickly and cheaply. But it is now leaking on the other side so must take it in for that to be done (trickier to reach, the unit may have to come off). Results can be mixed (Dandys still leaked a bit after the work I think he said) but worth trying it (Lawson Diesels in Edinburgh can supply and post the O rings). The leak could be from elsewhere, but the above is a common cause. Wheelquick warned a reconditioned unit would be £600 plus - I don't fancy forking that out unless essentialsteve480 wrote:hi
i seem to have a diesel leak coming from the fuel pump. took it to the garage i use & i was told its quite a common problem for it to leak from the pump. he said he may have to remove the pump & send it away to be reconditioned if the leak is coming from the seals at either end of pump. it looks as if its coming from 1 of the pipes that lead to the injectors.
not sure, has anybody experienced this problem with any advice ??? cheers steve

Banked over and you have to just touch the brakes as you ride over that little patch - byeeee 
...and this was Wheelquick quoting, and they are not money suckers, so I had to assume that is what these things cost. In fairness. they look a fancy piece of kit and since I had paid £600 for an ECU for my Spacewagon as far back as 2001 I reckoned the pump/injector was just one of those expensive things you get on cars. I've seen 2nd hand ones on ebay trying for £200 and they of course have no guarantee they will perform properlykelvfarrell wrote:£600 for a diesel pump !
You've got to be kidding .
Surely
Is there no end to the money sucking ability of these Japanese cast offs masquerading as reliable cars

I hope your comment about cast-offs masquerading as reliabe cars was tongue in cheek or I'd have to take serious issue with you
It's not as if we only get them after the Japanese have finished using them as Taxis .

. No diesel is finding its way to road from my Bongo. Its hard to describe but all I get is a very small blob forming just under the bolt. I have never seen it drop and if it did it would absorbed into the under tray.
