#Lucas epic injection pump repair manual driver#

Yes I fitted a new belt when i refitted the pump, started up up fine and went for a drive and noticed a significant loss of power as in nothing over 3000 rpm I did try and reset the timing a little at the wheel but it made no difference in regards to engine power.

I can definitely look around for another pump while I am there.ДЄll good advice is welcome. I will be in Europe in a couple of weeks time for a short stay with friends and familie, How hard is it to strip down the pump to do a rebuild myself?ДЄre there any other types of pump that can be fitted instead ,like a manual pump? Ironically the pump looked pretty new when I bought the van almost one year ago. The pump has been held horizontal to upside down and the metal dust inside it must have moved and clogged the system up.

This significant loss of engine power caused me to ring the guy that replaced the seal and I have been informed this is due to the metal dust from the worn out parts inside is now clogging up the pump which is taken back out again. Which started up fine but did/could not ref over 3000 rpm on the test drive. I havent got a lot of money to spend at the moment so it was just the seal that day and then refitted it back on to the engine. He showed me the bearings have some play in them and basically it will only be a matter of time before that play in the bearings will ruin the new seal and then start leaking fuel all over again. However the guy that replaced the seal on the pump told me that my lucas epic injector pump really needs rebuilding and at a cost of $1800 isnt cheap for me thats 1120 converted into pounds. The pump went back in and started up with no problem ,and with a new timing belt. I had some trouble with the lucas epic injector pump which was leaking fuel and have taken it out to have the seal replaced and thanks to the good people here who supplied with the best information needed It was a job I now have been able to master.
