Hi guys
I have a 1985 mk2 with 2.5 diesel. Its old and abused...but its a awsome van....Before the old diesel pump started leaking it was actually my daily driver...
But the pump needed replacement as the diesel leakage got so bad, the van was not running anymore....so i guess its done its job...so i bought a new one...(or actully it was a used one from a scrapyard...with was removed from the car when a got there)
So took it home after paying alot for it, the car was sitting for a while and then when i installed it today, a did check the timing on all the 3 places so all that is ok, but there is low pressure to the injectors.
There is some kinda bleeding screw at the top of the pump....i unscrew that bolt a bit, and cranked the car....and yes...a lot of diesel came out. So there is diesel in the pump, and pressure in the pump, but really low pressure to the injectors....
My main issue is that the pump has sitting so long that the shop i bought it from was not going to take it back...so i guess im stuck with to defective pumps....unless there is something i have forgotten....I have bleed and bleed all kinds off places...but it seems the problem is low pressure to the injectors...
So if this car is going to do some driving for some more years, i need help to get it running.... any tips?
Thank you so much
