Transit 2.4Tddi Continuing Power Issues

[Crankshaft]

Seem to remember mine not making much boost with those fault codes present, probably the reduced fuelling requested.

You'll need a duratorq timing pin kit.
Remove the ribbed alternator belt and unscrew the pump timing cover in the timing case with a quarter turn anticlockwise.
Remove the crank position sensor, located at the rear of the engine near the top of the gearbox bellhousing, drop in the crank timing pin (should be the one without a step at the end) into the crank position sensor hole and rotate the front crank pulley until the pin drops into the slot in the flywheel.

Looking at the pump sprocket from the front, the single timing pin hole should be around the 2 o'clock position, if not, rotate the crank another 360 degrees.

The small pump timing pin should go all the way through the sprocket, through the flange behind the pulley and into the front of the pump, it'll probably need a wiggle to get it through.

To adjust if needed you'll need to loosen the pump bracket at the rear of the pump from under the van.
Next fit the plastic sprocket holder into the timing case and lock it in by rotating it clockwise the same way the timing cover fits in (mine was a very tight fit), until the 3 holes in the tool line up with the 3 holes in the pump sprocket. Use the torx bit in the kit to loosen the 3 pump retaining bolts, then loosen the 4 sprocket to pump bolts.

Rotate the central nut until the timing pin fits through the sprocket and into the flange behind it, then rotate the pump itself until the pin pushes into the front of the pump. The pin should fit all the way in up to the shoulder.
Tighten the sprocket bolts, pump retaining bolts and rear support bracket and remove the tools, refit the crank sensor, timing cover and ribbed belt, clear the codes and you're done.

Sounds a lot more complex and time consuming than it actually is.

Thanks Crankshaft,

Is this the timing kit you mean?

Forgot to mention that you should ONLY turn the crank CLOCKWISE, there's a risk of the cam chain jumping a tooth if turned anticlockwise.

Is that clockwise looking at it from the front?

Steve.

[Crankshaft]

Yes that's the right kit
And yes clockwise looking at it from the front

Um....that would be turning it backwards methinks..

?? clockwise is the normal direction of rotation !

Correct....(on a RWD machine)...maybe I'm just not reading the thread correctly and have my wires crossed...as usual..!

Mine must have been built on a Friday afternoon then, crank pulley rotates clockwise looking at it from the front whilst the engine is running.

Thanks guys, I'll have a crack at that over the weekend.

The Mitsubushi TF035 turbo which is supposed to be fitted to the 2.4 DI transit engine seems to have a wastegate.
According to the above url info' the one they show is for a 2.8 engine and the waste gate settings are 0.913 bar and 1.0 bar (13 psi and 14.5 psi). It could be assumed that the turbo pressure on the transit is about the same.

The CD wk shp ml I have shows a variable vane turbo for common rail and the wastegate type for non common rail.
I have not found clear info' re the workings of the turbo etc.
