Diesel from a drum.....?
- Thread starter Andrewcupra TDI
- Start date
ive asked him to check the pumps to compare
ok mine had 038 145 209 E
the spare one we had has same code 038 145 209 but with an A on the end
the part number seems to be stamped in a different place on the servo he mentioned ??
can anyone shed somelight , is this where my problem now lies , hes saying it revs to about 4k but is stil smoking and spluttering etc
cheers
I would not expect smoking to be a result of a lack of fuel.
Its inability to rev beyond 4k could point to fuel starvation though.
What colour is the smoke, black grey white or blue?

cheers viking
was there a reason for discontinuing (unrelyable or what ever)
should this still run with my engine etc
regarding the test , hes trying to get the equipment for testing (describes it being different to normal ?
cheers
glynn i did txt you to see if you had any more pumps etc ,
how much to these pumps usually go for ? as an idea

Sorry I had not replied mate I left the phone at home!
They are around £350 new so I would expect you to pay between £50 and £100?
For compression testing on a diesel its usually done through the glow plug hole and I believe the equipment is specific to diesels due to the much higher compression ratio.
The tandem pumps are pretty reliable.
The type fitted to the ibiza 130 is definitely different to the leon arl engine though.

The A suffix tandem pump was used on Seat range until 2003 when it was dropped. The E suffix replaced it. VAG update parts from time to time so not really an issue.
Glynn, the rods are strong, but designed to carry enough strength to compress diesel fuel which burns and goes off down the exhaust. If the drum diesel had anything in it which didn't burn (pretty obvious due to the sludge) then this doesn't burn, builds up in the combustion chamber, doesn't compress, and the pistons/rods in effect hit a solid block instead of the compressible fuel/air mixture. Bent rods are common in engines where contaminated fuel has been introduced or water gets in the air inlet.

1. Was the oringinal diesel dodgy ?
2. If so, take it to a dealer/specialist. Might be more expensive, but you will know what the issue is instead of throwing money at it via other garages who cant find the issue.
3. If the diesel wasnt dodgy, get your ass back to the garage & get them to either pay for the reapirs or a brand new car !!

Ahh right - didnt he say it was "white" though ?
Not worth the hassel to save a few quid - the police always do a bit of dipping test, if you get clocked with that, your fooked !

it was White diesel not Red
the drum which contained the real stuff must of had a bit of chlorine / bleach which must have been used to clean or store in these drums ,,
bought refurbed injectors , and have put them in , car still didnt runn tidy was smoking like hell and wouldnt rev much
took the refurbs back and tested them , turned out their nackered onces , so hoping to get my money back
and have just been sorted out by Glynn (cheers mate)
and will try glynns injectors and see how we get on

right then ive been told shes all working and ready for me to pick up after work
so cheers Glynn for them injectors m8,
only problem i now face is,
The college at which i bought the so called refurbished injectors (prior to glynns ) had been send back and tested again and said the were fwooked , now they are telling me it was my fault ,
i cant see that fitting a set trying to start it (at which it wouldnt ) would ruin them straight away ,
so will see 2nite how she goes , like taking your test again!!!
