hello all i now need a diesel pump for a v reg 90hp galaxy just to end the saga of the non starting galaxy please please thanx all

update no joy at the mo.mate asked if i wanted to buy his gal,for a lot less than he paid for it the garage insists its the pump so if anyone has a pump for sale let me know mate is pig sick of fords ,wants a ssangyong like mine (musso) lol anyway please help lads if you have a pump cheers len

i was speaking to the mech. he said the oil started to come out thats when he thought that the unburnt diesl went back into the sump and was filling up till it was out the top?they are going to check the valve timing an pressure test the pump some air is getting in to the pump will have to wait till they get the fault codes done they are busy at the mo.said the brake cleaner is just the same as easystart only less addictive i was telling them about timing belt slipping due to bottom pully moveing(is that right?)they said that the timing will be checked also just got to wait but still need pump i think, the mistery continues

the story so far,car went into garage yesterday,they got it going but saw oil coming out of dipstick said it was diesel mixed with oil meaning that the diesel was going past the rings into the sump,they got it to idle with lots of smoke (blue)then it wont idle they started it with brake cleaner,now they think pump might be f*cked,or something else going to get the pump tested later along with injectors,so might be looking at a new pump(ouch)car just roars its head off then dies out looking like a very expensive job but i still think that there was something else going on the way he told me just dont add up to get that far then nowt strange ps he showed me the fuel out of the tank lots of diesel to small amount of veggie oils mells of diesel will keep all posted ps anyone have a spare pump if he needs one len

forgot to mention that when he bought the car about 5weeks ago or so it was supposed to have had a new timing belt fitted the old one in a box in car and a sticker on the engine also new air filter checked filter but not able to check belt,its sounding like timing the more i think about it (well done that man with the niggle at the back of his head)could the belt have slipped a tooth then? he said it started to slow down then pick up a few miles then just slowed down to a halt mmmmmmmmmm i wonder? by the way when checked his fuel more diesel than veg hard to tell but i would say more like 60% diesel 40% veg

tried everything but no joy,you got me thinking about timing being out,could this happen as he was driving along? towed the car an got loads of smoke must be the injector cleaner working,now when he pops it into gear it makes a rattling noise? when just cranking over on the battery no noise its like it wants to start some blue smoke not a lot now now about this vaag com thing i think we boath need one should i just buy one on the bay and how does it work will look over the posts just now to see if any info hes gotto bite the bullit an put it into garage could be a divorce comming soon lol cheers so far lads lenny

so far,changed fuel filter(new)fresh diesel fed from petrol can,undid return pipe to return to can,bled injectors,tried again wants to start puffing out smoke,but dies away.tried towing him a short distance with can under bonnet,do you think we are getting anywhere lads,tring to save him a lot of cash for the garage to have a look,i was thinking(ouch)get the injectors cleaned by a garage,we used cleaner today filled up filter first,lastly how do you empty fuel tank of his mixture cheers len

thanx for all the help so far lads will keep you all osted hope this thread will help others len

tried repacing fuel filter then just fed diesel out of container via the hand pump and cracked open the injectors.seems to want to start but as yet nowt now was wondering if the pump in the tank has suffered due to his oil mistake nothing pumps out of the pipe when we crank over the engine ? this is a first for me ,not sure about the galaxy workings at all was a merc man before any help would be realy useful lads as i have to keep giving him lifs everywhere lol thanx len

sounds good so far,his galaxy has got a hand primer fitted that a good sign or this getting worse hes away to buy filter just now weather heres bad wind an rain not good for fixing cars in the open lol

was thinking ,(ouch)can we get new fuel filter fill with fresh diesel undo feed pipe an put into can of diesel just to start the beast up then put more diesel into tank when warm an leave running if it starts up that is what you think

was thinking drain tank put fresh diesel in change filter ,how does he clean injectors guy who came out to take him home checked the pump by cracking open the feed s said it was gettind fuel but thats all just took him home on lorry an left him to it hes realy worried now can anyone set his mind at rest as to him getting back on the road hes taking some stick think more of this sort of thing will happen gue to price of diesel

hello all,friend of mine got himself a mrk 1 gal.1.9tdi v reg when he bought it it was fine usual bit about the floor being wt d/footwell ,showed him how to clean the drain hose ,anyway he heard that the galaxy could run on veggie oil,so he got some filtered waste cooking oil and give him his due he refiltered it he said with old sheets ect. put he says about 10lts of oil to
