bazzab Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Nice. What a cracking job. Cam belt poss a tooth out on diesel pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88b Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Depending on the year there are several different versions of what looks like the same engine. Late ones have a chain to the pump and a belt from the pump to the cam, older versions have two belts. The correct method is to line it all up and insert timing pins on various holes to ensure the crank pump and cam are all in the right places then the pump sprocket is on slots to allow the belt to tension properly. A lot of " teknishuns" just mark the pulleys with paint to save time, sometimes it's ok others it isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy835 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) the same garage has fitted the last two cam belts, and all has been ok,he said the pins were used to line it up.if i never had the belt fitted today all would be ok, so some thing is not lined up. iv just phoned the garage up now but has not had time to look at it, so will call back monday 3 o clock.and it did not start like it used two.

Indeed I'd agree with this, also I'll add that to time the pump 100% correctly a dial gauge and pump adapter is required, some times the pins are close but not 100%, even the slightest of adjustments can make a big difference to drive ability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy835 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) picked the van up today, and it was the pump the pin was out a little, so going good now as it should. Edited March 3, 2014 by mossy835 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would depend on how far his tool box was from the car as the pin must have been in it when the pump timing was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
