I have of late. had hell with both my two combi's. One is fitted with the cv pump and the other with the bosh.
Now take the two pumps of both engins and the make up of both engines without the pumps are dead the same;= where there is a hole in one, there is a hole in other, where the tdc mark is on one it is on the other, how the three gears from crank to ideler to pump line up is exactly the same. What I am saying both engins are carbon copies of each other. I know this as I have stripped both mine down.
Okay thats the enging. now take my cv pump it is the same as any cv pump from the same size enginge this is, the hole in the outer casing are in the same place as any other cv pump. Then there is the bosch pump; this one two is exactly the same as any bosch pump taken from the same engine. ( engine in my case being the 1600cc) now the bosch pump I know is the same as have had it along side one the same.
Okay so all this being so . one pump should be intercahngable from one engin to the other, baring of coures any static timing needed to be done with pump on the car, you could not mark engin with one pump for another. Hope this is clear so far. (Mind you with the two engins side by side and transposing the makrs with some clever mesuring. what I just said my not be true????)
Okay when you take the basch pump off, you pull it out from it's gear on the end. You do need to hold this gear in place before you pull the pump out, the reason being it is only held in place by the pump drive shaft. If anyone pulls out the pump without holding this gear in place.. I do not know what the result would be. But the chances are your pump would not be anywhere neer it's needed position. ????
Just a few thought Hope it give you food for thought and gets other answering as even people that do not know enaything can have there say if they have any ideal. I way up any thing and anything that is said. Anyway for now I am working on getting my number one combi starting better. I have her overheating sorted it was the bypass hose from the pump to the thermostat housing blocked. Now what a dream she is to drive. Cheers all. Diesel combi pete.
