BOSCH VE Mechanical Diesel Fuel Injection Pump Adjustments & Components

[maxfax]

This is to clarify where some of the components are, and how to adjust your pump..

Below Pictured is the non turbo no altitude compensating pump


The major difference between this, and the turbo/altitude compensating pumps is the addition of the "LDA" on top as pictured below


The most common asked question is usually about turning the fuel up or down.. Adjusting the smoke screw so to speak..  This adjustment is pictured below..  If your pump has never been tampered with there will be a steel collar crimped over the threads..  Remove that collar by some manner and loosen the 10mm jamb nut.. Best method on the car is trial and error, typically a quarter turn at a time.. When you get close you may need to use eighth of a turn increments.. But this can vary pump to pump pending on wear and such..

 Turning the screw clockwise increases the fuel injected over the entire rpm range.. Turning the screw counter clock wise reduces the fuel.. Keep in mind that when increasing the fuel you may need to decrease the idle, and when decreasing the fuel you may need to increase the idle..


Idle adjustment is pictured below, it's the screw closest the engine.. The screw that is further away from the engine is the max RPM adjusting screw.. Both of these adjustments are pretty self explanatory.

Nice diagrams.

IN this thread http://www.vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php?topic=10569.0 the mounting points for the pump are shown as well as some of the timing procedure...  For reference, to advance the pump timing turn it in the opposite direction of engine rotation (top of the pump towards the valve cover)  To retard the timing turn the pump the same direction as engine rotation (top of the pump away from the valve cover)


For your guys with the turbo pump, the screw on top of the LDA as shown here should be adjusted as follows

LDA screw allows you to tune the initial position of the boost pin. In order to see the full range of LDA enrichment, you want the follower pin resting on the largest diameter of the taper at zero boost without also contacting the step adjacent to the ramp.

WRT to the idle adjustment... 109 style pumps (later 1.6s, all AAZs) have a different setup.  The idle screw identified in the diagram is actually called the "residual fuel screw" on the 109 pumps.  It has some impact on idle but overall if your throttle lever is set with that screw actually affecting idle, it needs adjustment.  There is an additional overall idle screw, fast idle max RPM and "regular" idle min RPM screw that need to be adjusted to set the idle speed.

This is also helpful if buying a bosch DGK-126 kit to reseal.

Maybe this will help a few people its more like a tech tip  ,but for most 99% engines you will see its easy to remember direction of rotation or "DOR"
 from the accy/belt drive end of the engine (usually opposite of the of the flywheel, or pto end)
they turn clockwise or to the right. I dont care if its a lawnmower or a diesel on a ship all (99%)run clockwise viewed at belt end. So with that info in your brain a vw engine viewed as installed basically turns with the road wheels when u r driving forward.

Anyone know what the stock setting for the governor shaft adjustment should be? I did a recent pump re-seal and did not mark or not the location of the shaft 

Pic attached for reference.

I need to know how i will get maximum power output by VE mechanical governor pumps by adjusting coz we usually face the problem of average specially in combination number 0460426489 used in TATA 3118 12tyres heavy duty trucks...Will be highly thankful

Anybody else or is it jsut me ?

Hi- just trying to ID my injection pump- whether it is mechanical only or the electric version using the sensors. can anyone post pics of these models? All the above pic links  are broken. Thanks for any help.

[Dennis Froelich]

Do you know what vehicle it came off of?

Older VW?

[libbydiesel]

As the saying goes, "it would be easier for me if you'd do it".  How about posting a pic of your injection pump?

It is very easy to do, even if you want to do it yourself you don't need to service it
