Transit 1998, 2,5 TD, high-pressure pump 8720B050A

Postby jt2007 » Thu Apr 03, 2025 7:01 am

Hello everyone

I'm hoping for some collective wisdom.
The above Transit needs a solution for its high-pressure pump:
Pump type 8720B050A
S# 05745FRG
Lucas EPIC DSA1190

Problems:
Cam ring has chips
Case pressure valve defective

1. Repair the old pump
2. Purchase a new/used pump
3. Replace the pump with a mechanical pump (supposedly available)

Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much.

I think you will be lucky if you can find somewhere that repairs the pump, I very much doubt you will find a new one, and a used one is a gamble, so maybe a Bosch VE mechanical pump would be best.

Do you have a manual or automatic gearbox?
