colinr Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Hi I am having starting problems with my 1800 escort diesel van 51 plate Been told it may be the injection pump not sure yet so I thought I will get a second hand pump if this turns out to be the problem. But I have now been told that if I fit a second hand pump from another van it will not work as they are coded to the engine. Can any one tell me if this is correct if so is there a way round this. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstructorPiggy Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Depends if it is mechanical injection or electronic...not sure on that age, is it a turbo?? You sure it needs a pump...what else has been tried?? Piggy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
