Title: wtb td injector lines
Post by: bbob203 on July 24, 2012, 01:50:44 pm: I'm looking for a quality set of turbo diesdl injector lines didn't realize I need to swap out the injector lines to when converting to a true td pump. ::)

That said I'm 90% sure I have a set. They could be AAZ, I'll have to double check. PM me with your postal/zip code if you are interested

That being said i have an ada pump that would have lines that clear the lda but maybe delivery valves on that are the same long ones as on an eco pump?

Post by: bbob203 on July 25, 2012, 03:06:50 pm: 2 lines work 2 don't its a matter of length of delivery valves. 8mm and ada pump long delivery valves. lda td pump has shorter delivery valves. I don't see how pushing pump forward would help. if you push pump away from engine the gear would go ccw one tooth. I have all 3 types of pump right here within arms length. how about those lines?

hmmm ok if libby is telling me this i feel a little safer. Ive read though that the delivery valves are shimmed according to the pump or something ???. why the shorter on the td vs the longer on the eco/ada pumps? whats the difference in valve?

Post by: burn_your_money on July 25, 2012, 09:15:03 pm: As long as you don't mix and match the pieces you should be fine swapping the delivery valves. Keep everything in order in case you have to swap back though.

I found the set I was thinking of and it is definitely not AAZ. I want to check it on my car first because I did have a set of eco lines just for fun but I don't know where they got off to.

Post by: libbydiesel on July 26, 2012, 01:24:35 pm: You may need to adjust the max fuel after swapping delivery valves. Other than that I have not been able to detect any operational difference with different delivery valves even the TDI ones which are a markedly different design.
