As you know I just replaced the bigger head seal. Today I noticed this seal leaking also. I was very relieved to find another video of you covering this. In hindsight I should have done this 30mm seal at the same time. Thank you again for these videos, they are of great help.
Did you have to time the pump by removing the 12mm like you did on the pump head video before removing the plug ? I’ve found your videos extremely helpful while working on my own Alh
I called VW in Germany and got the torque spec from them. They said to tighten it down until it's "gudentait". Must be a metric unit but i did "Nazi" that one coming.
does a 26mm injection pump socket fit? or only 24mm every socket set i find is 26mm only diesel geek has the 24mm that you have to rent? makes no sense
Hello! A friend of mine removed the pump from the engine to change this exact seal. Changed the seal, put the pump back on the engine but messed up when plugging up the electrical connections. He switched the small plug from the injection pump with the one from the crankshaft sensor, they both look the same and fit. Now the engine won't start and won't run unless it's on strarting fluid. Did he fry the electronic part of the injection pump by plugging those two connectors the wrong way?
Ooo no. Sorry to hear about your friend's luck. Is he sure that he bled all of the air out of the system? I would tell him to crack each line at the injectors and crank until fuel comes out of each line. It would be a good idea for you to help him do that. Have rags ready and be careful.
@@Corysdiyauto Yes, we have bled it countless times, we even fed it straight from a bottle, bypassing the fuel filter. Started the engine on starting fluid, ran it half a minute like that, nothing. The pump was taken off the car. Thank you for your answear.
The head plug seal was leaking in my case. I replaced the injection pump head seal first though because it looked like the fuel was leaking from that area.
@@SanketPatil-ri2hc - I changed it because I thought it was leaking from there. I'm glad that I did change it though, because the seal was really worn.
