1.8tdci fuelpump problem

[Geoff1979]

Hey guys
When i rode to work this morning i stopped at a red licht and when i got green and moved out i smelled somme diesel smell in the car.
So when i came at work i watched unter the car and i saw diesel dripping on the tarmac
So i restarted the car and i saw diesel sqeurting out of the fuelpump at the little plate at front.
That plate is fixed with 4 strange screws.
Can i unscrew this screws and fix my pump or do i need to buy an other one?
Thanks guys!

Nobody who can help me?
I have been looking to unscrew the screws but a 6 wrench is to small and a 7 is to big

Paul 2012 is ya man mate he knows these inside out

[Geoff1979]

Thanks Karl!
I hope he reads my post i really need to fix my car

One of my friends came by and the screws are reverce torx.
I'm going to buy the size i need

I take it it's a 06> with Siemens fuel system, there should be 3 of these square plates with the 4 bolts in, these are the top-plates for the piston housing, there's a rubber seal under them, 1st check the 4 bolts on each plate are tight if they are look for pump repair kit or individual seals and change the one that's leaking

Its a 07 with a siemens like you mentioned.
I dont have the correct socket to unleash the screws and its a holiday here today.
Tomorow i'm going to get the correct socket and try to unscrew the front plate.
And check with my ford dealer if they have the gasket i need
Thanks for the help liteace!

Be careful when opening there's a few small parts in there and make sure that piston is not on its pressure stroke

[Geoff1979]

Ok thanks for the info!
How do i know if the piston is on his pressure stroke?

[Geoff1979]

I screwed the plate off and i need 1 gasket and 1 o-ring.
Anibody has an idea where to find those parts?
Ford dealer cant help me
I found 1 seller on the net but they dont answer...

Hey guys,
Installed the new pump gaskets today
And try to start the car.
It started for 1 min and than died.
So i unscrewed the first fuel pressure tube to let the air out but it still wont start.
Is there something else i need to do?
Thanks guys!

[liteace]

Yes, you need to bleed the fuel system

[Geoff1979]

Where else do i need to bleed it?
And do i need to fill up the pump with fuel or not?
I'm thinking about this from this morning
