advancing a pump

[karl1989]

hello every one. gota my car running today with no oil leaks and pulls better now changed the turbo but not as good as i want. seems abit draggy. want to advance the pump to make it lively but is that a yes or no dont no what to do.

go for it, see what happens, adjust it to get the best

You want to time the pump so that it isnt too advanced or retarded. The standard timing is perfect imo and then just allow the pump to do its own thing with dynamic advancing. However by advancing the pump it will normally start a lot easier, good tip if your tight and cba replacing glow plugs!

do i advance towards the back of the car and do it about 10mm?

[anto]

There is barely 10mm of movement on the bracket slots.
Its hard to tell you how much to do it by. Go in 1mm increments until it starts to get quite rattly.

[Dum-Dum]

Yeah, start of with about 2-3mm advanced then go in 1mm increments until it starts to get rattly.

You WILL need a 13mm obstruction / half moon spanner

Does anyone know where abouts stock would in relation to stud location in slots or would that be too easy

It's about half way to two thirds advanced in the slots standard
