Bens bosch conversion dont use the wrong key!

Id still put money on the inlet / outlet lines getting mixed up tbh......

Yeh that would cause similer issues to a fooked vane pump,

But how the hell can you mix them up, there totally different and one says OUT on it lol?

[Ben Jay]

I will have to double check the plumbing again then

[Joe]

where did you get the pump from? was it jj's?

[Ben Jay]

where did you get the pump from? was it jj's?

a guy from .net put it on their facebook group and i contacted him through facebook

[Ben Jay]

Could this be a contributing factor? should it be this high?

[4WayDiablo]

Well mine only has about 1cm poking out the top but is only another cm or so longer anyway

[darrenjlobb]

Rofl someones given your lda an errection, nah wont make any odds, they must have lost the bolt and just lashed an idle screw or something in there lol!

[Ben Jay]

does any one have a picture of the fuel pipes going from the bulkhead (with the green and white tabs) to the pump

[Joe]

how come your boost compensator isnt plumbed in?

[Ben Jay]

because the tmic isnt on!

i thought it would start with out it

[Dan!]

It will start fine without the tmic fitted, dont worry about that. And I doubt the fuel lines on everyone elses cars will still have the tabs fitted and be run the same routing as yours.

Il draw in paint for you quickly to show how the fuel pipes should be connected.

[Dan!]

Here you go....



As you can see, the pipe from the filter housing goes to the left on the bosch and the right on the lucas. And the other pipe is right on the bosch but to the left on the lucas. So obviously if you just bolted the pipe to the nearest part of the pump then they will be on wrogn and it wont run! Very easy mistake to make if you arent an expert on the XUD

[Ben Jay]

can you tell me what the green tab pipe is and the white tab pipe is?

[Dan!]

I have honestly never heard of these tabs you keep referring to mate Honestly, just find the fuel grenade, and follow the pipe, it should go to the fuel filter housing in the back, then the pipe coming out the top should go to the left hand side of the bosch pump. The other fuel line which just comes from the back of the engine bay goes to the right hand side of the pump.

the tabs are just infront of the bulk head they seem to just be markers and not actaully attatched to the bulk head

[Dan!]

Okay well iv still never heard of them, so forget about the tabs and just check the diagram/explantion above and compare it to yours, or at least get us a decent photo of your engine bay

[mark_airey]

Dan, the actual plastic bend in the fuel lines where it clips to the inner wing is colour coded green and white, i can't remember which is which though!

[Dan!]

Mmmm, maybe as standard, im sure Jakes and Bens arent like that though because iv never noticed it, and I spend ALL my time working on them

[mark_airey]

I know that mine is for sure, I'm pretty sure that they have feed and return arrows on the bends also but I can't remember

[ginge191]

Ok, this might help a little bit..

GREEN: back of fuel pump
WHITE: fuel filter

[mark_airey]

so the white one is your feed via the grenade and filter housing to the right hand connection on the pump and the green one is your return which goes to the spigot on the left of the pump just below the LDA assembly where the leak off from the injectors connects to

[ginge191]

so the white one is your feed and the green one is your return

what hairy said ^^^

[mark_airey]

Added more info to the above post now from what ginge quoted too

[Ben Jay]

ahhhhhhh that makes so much sence! i think i have that the wrong way round!
Lets see what happens tonight when i get in!

if there was a rep system you all would have 1000 for your helpz!

[Dan!]

You will more than likely need to extend the pipe that comes off the top of the fuel filter housing because it goes to the left of the bosch and will probably only be long enough to go to the left, because thats where it goes to on the lucas.

If they are that would explain a lot

[ginge191]

remember to prime it all etc. get all the air out... you know the drill

[Ben Jay]

if this is the case im going to kick myself!

i just spoke to the garage that i dropped it off at to see if they had any idea and they said they didnt and didnt want to mess about with it.

so the hours labour they did for me yesterday im not going to be charged for as they know im in a pickle!

[Dan!]

Good good. So when are you getting it back?
