Hello all,
My defender 110 300 TDI injection pump was leaking between the main body and the distribution head. After some research I decided to replace the O-ring in situ. A little bit of a challenge, but I got the old O-ring out and the new one in ….rolling the o ring over the bolts one at a time and into place.
Now the fun began. I am unable to start the vehicle. I have bled everything I can think of but I’m not getting fuel at the injection lines
Solenoid is getting power and clicking, so I assume it is working. Lift pump is less than three years and sending fuel to the filter….from filter to IP intake, there’s fuel, fuel at rear return bango bolt also.
Again, it just seems like I’m not getting pressure within the injection pump to push fuel to the distributor head and then up to the injectors. The pump was working fine with the exception of the leaky O-ring. Now I’m stumped I don’t really want to spend $1500 on a new injection pump. Your input is greatly appreciated.
