Diesel injection pump nosy
Posted: 05 Sep 2016, 19:39
Hi,
I just got myself a 1.6 DT westfalia, and on my way back the slave cylinder started failing. (This i hope i can repair on the weekend) but wile looking for the problem, i had the engine running and i notice a metallic clicking or hammering nose. It seems to come from the injector pump, as when i hold the High pressure fuel pipes, the nose is not so audible. In addition i have notices a fuel like from the front side of the pump (not where the belt is) but don't really see where its coming from. the engine seems to be running fine, except that there may be a lot of partials coming out of the back (normal for an old diesel?) its when you ref the engine to about 3000-3500 rpm and then stop the throttle that the next time you throttle up a bit more black partials (not smoke) is coming out.
in the same incidence once the engine stops being reffed i can see some fuel drops. But it may be leaking the howl time as i seem to see more fuel under the car.
any idea? should i go to a specialist? if so anyone knows someone around Nottingham i could get to?
