Diesel injector pump 2.5 TD lump

[Tango]

First question I have does anyone have a exploded view of one of these and can you recon them easy??????

Second question mine leaks like a seive can you buy a seal kit to repair them with or do anyof you know where the usual leak spots are and how to plug them for the MOT!!!!!  

Thanks in advance

The usual places they leak from are the shaft seal (behind the sprocket), the boost diaphragm, and where the throttle spindle goes into the body at the top. They can leak at the pipe connections at the back and these are just compression fittings, so can be repaired quite easily. The shaft seal is readily available from diesel specialists for about £7 each, and the pump diaphragm from the same source for a few quid more. Not sure about the spindle - I've never done one, but I think it's a bronze bush and an O-ring that has to be replaced. Completely stripping a pump is possible, but being able to identify a fault and then get the necessary parts might be very difficult.

Thanks Les nice one so!!!! one more thing it can be repaired on the motor? Rather then having to remove the body. Also Les you any good at doing them!!!!!

mine leaks as well , it was the diaphragm to  begin with , ive sorted that and now ive got a leak from somewhere else , i think its from one of the compression fittings, ive been told to use talc to locate the leak.
if it were from the sprocket it would be from the front timing cover i take it?

[Tango]

Well Mine is not leaking from the front where the timing belt is I have a leak from the side where 3 bolts are and I have a leak from the back as well, from the looks of things it could be rather easy to sort, But I really would like some kind of diagram that shows the pump as it would be put together there must be one on the internet somewhere!!! Anyone know where I can get it from????? Cheers

if its the diaphragm it will be leaking from the engine side of the pump from a saucer shaped housing helt on by two 9 mil bolts, not to be mistaken for the saucer shaped thing on the bottom of the pump.
sorry for sounding vague.

[Tango]

Well it looks like I have a leak from the back the four pipes going in and the other leak is near the middle facing the bodywork not the engine, from what I can see no leaks are present on the engine side nor at the front of the pump the timing belt end!!!!!!!!!

[Nobber]

the one in the middle could be a bleed screw on the top , its hard to say for sure.
the one where the four pipes join the pump is probably one of the compression fittings as les has already pointed out , or a split pipe.
ive got a leak where the four pipes join the pump but im not having any luck in nailing it , its quite hard to tell where its coming from as it only leaks when im driving it.
sorry i cant be much more help but unless you pin point the exact location of the leak its quite hard to help you fix it.
try cleaning the pump with paraffin then rinsing with warm soapy water , let it dry then cover it in talc , the leak should become easy to locate then.

perhaps the two leaks are sprey coming from a split pipe?

Well its funny today was the hottest day and no leaks!!!! funny that found out the hotter the pump the less it will leak so I have a plan for the MOT retest get the [!Expletive Deleted!] through a few fords!!!! then warm her right up ;) Mot pass until I can afford to repair the leak ;)
