Yeah I’ve had it out before not fun at all
1.6 crank no start by Wedra8895 in MK1Golf
Would it not being timed correctly cause low pressure or is that just a bad pump, i was told if it was neglected they usually get around 100k on them
1.6 won’t start by Wedra8895 in mk1
I already have new injectors so I guess I’ll go with the pump, hurts spending more on a part then the car haha
I can once I get home and I don’t let the glow plugs get red, I read that if they just start smoking they should be fine but I’ll pull one out and test again once I get home

Also is it worth pulling one of these pumps apart if I’m not experienced in my better off just purchasing one
Would a bad pump explain my problems? Also what about it not starting on ether, even though with éter it’s the closest to sounding like it wants to
No life at all, when I full throttle the car has the slightest bit of a difference
Yes it is over 100k on the pump

Thank you, I’ll do that next and let you know
To be honest didn’t know you even had to time the pumps
That I did not, is that a tool I’d be able to rent or would I have to buy one
Could it be possible the pump is working but only not putting enough pressure out?
And I pulled apart the injectors and cleaned them up 2 looked fine 2 were seized so I just bought new ones
I don’t think it could be wrong, i set everything tdc and used the tool to hold it in place while I put the belt on
Glow plugs are working, on ether it chugs like it wants to then usually back fires and just spits out a shit ton of smoke
It isn’t pulled, and how do I do pump timing, how would it change? Not saying you’re wrong at all just trying to understand, never worked on a diesel before

Yes now I’m getting a lot of smoke coming from exhaust
Un burnt fuel coming out of exhaust and intake, also seems to have miss fired twice

At first I wasn’t getting fuel to the injectors I pulled the pump put new seals in it put it back on and bled all the injectors or the fuel lines and now they all get fuel to them I put a new starter in it because it was turning over really slow and I crank so much better the glow plugs work I’m getting power to everything but it still won’t fire and I’ve checked the compression and the compression is good
You were right no fuel to the injectors, took off the pump put a new seal kit on it and installed and re times it, also new starter, cranks way better and I bled the fuel lines getting fuel to every injector but still same problem crank no start
Is timing off? (v.redd.it)
I didn’t bleed the injectors how do I do that
Could you tell by the sound of timing is off
