[estorilblu]

Hi Guys just bought my first dead transit 2001 2 tdci mk6 the guy i bought it off bodged the metering solenoid fix with quick steel and and told me it would run when i resoldered the wire,great i tried to bleed prime system still no joy no fuel at injectors so im thinking reading through these posts more likely to be a dead pump .the pump on the van is 0470004004 as i dont know wether the metering solenoid is gone or the stop solenoid or the edc unit ontop of the pump so i just decided to get a recon pump off ebay £255 0470004012 this is the later one i think anyone had any experience on fitting a new pump using the removal tool £59 ebay i got no clue how do you insert locking pins from the back of the cover as you cant get to the sprokets? couldn't find any post on pump removal if any one can help would be great before i dive in and mess things up some more, and will i need this pump recoded £££££££££ cheers for any help guys

havnt done one with timing chain cover on ,but there is a access panel in the cover direct in front of the pump , not sure but i believe there is a tool to remove this , or try using a puller

ok i will have a look have you done it with the cover off is so could you give me an idea on how you did it im guessing drain the oil take off the cover and will i need to lock off cam and what else with drill bits maybe? the new pump should have a timing mark right? thanks

with the complete tool it is an easy change u have to line up the 3 holes in the pump sprockett then pin pump and u can start to take the old one out should take 2 hours but first 1 took me 5 hrs good luck

dont no wether you have this right tdci dont need coding, if its a tddi yes they need coding , the followig applies to tdci remove battery earth ,on tdci thare is no timing marks for the pump as its a high pressure pump (not like tddi there timed),but the chain cant be allowed to move as it affects igniton and valve timing, the right tool as mobilevan man says, has the right bits of kit to take out pump with out the need to remove cover.no need to drain oil, but could be wise to do oil change after.if you dont have tool , you have to remove headlights(easy) front panel, 2-3 wing bolts (aids helps with front panel removal) drain rad and remove ,remove fan, remove belt and pulleys,remove coolant pipes, remove water pump(4 bolts,) theres a gasket between water pump and block.be careful of small water pipe top of cover as it damages quite easy on removal...when you take front cover off, after initial loosen of bolts use a electric drill with socket attached (god send with so many bolts)go round cover with stanley blade to loosen silicone,ford state use new cover, but you can reuse cover as long as you dont bend it to much on removal(cover £50) put some old rags in bottom by sump stops any thing dropping in sump,could be time to do chain and tentioner while your there if it hasnt been done for a while,or tentioner at least. on refitting replace crank seal in cover,(its a twist and lock type) use a decent quality silicone on cover , ford silicone is £15 very good thou, i use one from a motor factors 1/3 price.there,s probaly a couple of other wires, and things to remove, hard to picture not bein in front of van, remove inlet manifold
.. on refitting cover centralise crank seal first to avoid damage, ......if you have replaced a crank pulley bolt to turn engine over by hand dont forget to remove it before refitting cover as it will rip the seal.

is it tdci or tddi

pump is bolted to chain case (cover side) there a bracket at back of pump, outlet pipe to fuel rail, quick release pipe from fuel filter, and wiring.

I dont know if its tdci or tddi ,how would i know? my first transit log book hasnt come through the slip i have says Ford Transit 260 swb TD , i think i will buy the removal tool as it seems alot easier to do from this access panel i have removed the front end for easy access now i need to find another pump as the guy who sold it to me has told me he dropped the pump while packaging so might be damaged i reckon he's been offered more money so changed his mind,now i need to get hold of another pump and will let you guys know if i get it running or not cheers

ok right lets find out what van you have ,go http://www.etis.ford, post your reg on the vechile link it will come up with all the details for your van. ...or post your reg in the link at top of page in the mk6 section,you need to no as you could be buying the wrong pump for a start,might be worth having your own pump recondition by disel specilist, it might just be a case of testing and a new solonoid fitting, at least you will get back a virgin pump, (on tddi) as i said tdci dont need coding.

[estorilblu]

yep just found out definately tddi, i was thinking getting my pump reconed would be about £250 plus it would need new metering solenoid £130 = £380
thats if theres nothing else wrong so i will try get hold of a virgin pump 0470004012 which should hopefully do the job, also i got the pump removal tool from laser today, the one which you dont take the timing cover off crap instructions does anyone know do i just lock of the pump sproket with this tool and nothing esle?
