Title: Injection pump problems
Post by: 91 ECO on October 17, 2006, 01:41:50 pm

My pump starts leaking about a month ago.  I figure it's time for a rebuild by Giles (I even found a turbo lid to convert to a true turbo diesel).  Giles gets my box on the 2nd attempt to ship (came back to me the first time with no reason why) via the US Postal Service.  There's one catch, the box now has a starter motor in it with no packing material.  The envelope to Giles with the car specs is there, but no pump.  Who knows if I will ever get the $114 insurance the USPS automatically placed on the package.  Giles is building me a pump from one of his cores but he's slammed.  I'm looking at a turbo pump to bridge the time gap.  Is there a way to distinguish between a turbo pump and one with the altitute compensation device?  I don't think the guy will crack the top of the LDA to check.

Thanks,

Mark

thats the dirtiest *** i've ever heard of.  what did you put on customs paper?  "diesel injection pump"

you should put some obsure title.. like.. broken antique car part

probably some douchebag working there thought he could swap it over and return it...  yea i hope he tries to install it in his car hehehe what was the running condition of the pump??? please say it leaks/runs like crap!!!

I did make the mistake of being too specific on the customs form "diesel injection pump".  As far as the condition of the pump....300,000 miles and it was leaking bad!

Here are the numbers off of the pump I'm looking at:  

  460 494 221

              0000869 130 109

                   011 063 8028

The only thing I have noticed is that there is no nipple for the pressure line coming out of the LDA.  Thanks for your help.

Yep I do that when shipping stuff.

"used car parts" or " used car core parts"

I recently sent out a near perfect set  of used Porsche 911 pistons, I insured it at value but described it as "used car parts"

No matter what I always write "used car parts" but I always insure at value, unless the buy requests otherwise
