Hi all got a transit 2004 Fwd that has had a second hand diesel pump fitted but needs recoding my mate has got a snap on solus which I've been told will recode it any ideas if it does and roughly how to do it! Thanks

 

Pretty sure it'll need WDS/IDS at Ford for that mate.

 

Yeh im sure you will need to use the ford IDS computer to recode it.

 

unless it was virginised before removal, if it was you dont need to do anything but i do think you have to leave it with ign on for 10 mins or so without trying to start it, something along thos lines anyway

 

Immobiliser light flashes really fast so it's needs recoding I'll try the solus on it first before I send it somewhere to get coded in

 

Good luck.

 

A few after market diagnostic machines can virginise fuel pumps but all the ones I've seen need a special lead direct to the back of the pump and cannot be done through the OBD socket. Once they are virginised you just turn on the ignition and leave it on for at least 30 seconds although I usually leave it for about 10 minutes be be sure. If you can't find someone who can wipe the pump then you may have to take it off and send it to a re-manufacturer.

I've tried with a Solus before but was unsuccessful every time and gave up. We have a Bosch KTS which will virginise the pumps but we never bothered with the lead and activation code for the facility as we hardly touch any injector pump equipped vans these days.

 

jup you need the IDS to recode it, done it a few times
