i think the bottom one is a semi-ecu controlled pump, the top one is all good though . .

[Dan!]

Aye, agree with Mr. Cheese on that one.

[studturbo]

still cheap tho haha

[Mattcheese31]

alright for a few spares . . . . .i bought one a while ago off the bay for about 15 quid, Dan has just ground that pin for me and i had a practice gov mod on it and broke the cradle .

[studturbo]

lol i done 4 gov mods now and i could do them with my eyes closed now aha

How often do these pumps go?

Is there warning on the 306 td or hdi when the pump going noise or anything at all on the way out?

[studturbo]

[Mattcheese31]

lol i done 4 gov mods now and i could do them with my eyes closed now aha

[Mattcheese31]

[studturbo]

As Dan identified the second one isnt of much use unless your just after some bits inside as its got the later solenoid controlled timing on it, which wont work mechanically...

As for longetivty of these pumps..provided you feed them good filtered diesel, and dont rev them past 5k on big plungers without significant modifications, then they are bullet proof....like you could put 500k on them and they would still be fine...only things that ever tend to fail are seals on the throttle shaft / worn vane pumps....

Snapped plungers / scored insides do occur with major abuse though........cough

[studturbo]

guess you done alot of that then darrenjlobb haha need to 11mm my pump with me TD04 going on or am i better running 9mm

[Ruan]

VEs don't die... Not unless you spin them too fast or let water in...

My pump must have easily done 200k miles, it's originally off an XTDT with 187k iirc? Lots anyway, I've had it for 2 years and have put 30k on it... Only thing that's wrong with it is the throttle shaft seal is leaking which could do with being replaced.

Those semi-ecu pumps, my mate fitted one to his Dturbo last week, seems to run fine, and my mate just did an m-tdi on his clio, also using the same pump, on a renault 1.9 DCI engine.
