2.2 Diesel, non starter P0607 (6)

I got boxes of stuff like that.    

People ask me why I waste money on something that I'm only going to use once, but the alternative is to spend a minimum of ?100 at a garage, with no guarantee that any fault will be fixed.

I have a souvenir from the last diesel stripdown I did.  There was a bit of piston slap...

I'm sure a thicker oil would have sorted that 

Pretty pattern though

 Holy thread resurrection

I started on the pump swap a few days ago.

With the special tools on hand it was remarkably easy to lock the crankshaft on the spare engine and remove the camshaft sprocket and chain.

Then I found that the E10 torx bolts that hold the second sprocket on the pump cannot be accessed with a 3/8" drive socket, 1/4" needed to get into the hole. Marvellous, all the ones smaller than E10 were 1/4".

So I had to order another set of Torx sockets, where the largest one was E10, all 1/4" drive, all delivered for the princely sum of £4

I'm busy on another couple of cars now, but have been refreshing my brain with the use of TIS 2000 to reprogram the pump using Tech 2. Hopefully the software will be kind and figure out that it is the pump that needs to have the VIN & immo codes updating.

SPS programming will be new experience for me. Fingers crossed for when the physical work is done on the car

Im going to have to figure out how to remove the oxidisation on the ECU pins which have been exposed to the air for a couple of years as well

When you fit the connectors, make sure that they are very clean and slide in and out easily before you try and attach them to the pump, I've seen people break them before because the connectors were dirty and then they would go on at an angle and damage the pins on the ECU! If you get the connectors moving freely then just putting them on and off a few times should clear much of the oxidisation, just wash them down with contact cleaner first.

Thanks, I thought as much.

It's actually the pins on the ECU / pump that have been exposed to the air. I might use the old ECU  to assist in cleaning the connectors on the car

The action of fitting and unfitting the connectors a few times should shine up the pins on the pump. If you can get hold of some old connectors you can try cleaning them up by fitting and unfitting them while the pump is off the car. Just make sure that the rubber gasket is sat in the bottom of the connector, I've seen them get pulled partially out of the connectors and I have seen someone destroy a brand new pump because they weren't careful and they bent about half the pins on one side of the ECU connector.
