THis is my first time working timing the injection pump on our 1.6TD. Can someone please explain the dial indicator process? I am attempting to do what Bentley outlines but not getting it. 1.

Mouthful, but is there a way to pull the pulley without tool 3032?

It runs well and has plenty of power. I am still seeing air bubbles in the line between the IP and the f...

I don't have to crank forever to start it, but it smokes and runs very rough. The last owner let it sit f...

New to this forum, but I've done some searching on this topic. Basically, I have a cold start issue that seems to be related to the front seal of the IP. the previous owner ran biodiesel, which I understand eats this seal.
