Hi all,
Haven't been on in a while, so hope you're all ok.
I've got a friend with a Renault Master 2.8 diesel van.
The thing won't start.
The original engine had seized up and so was changed.
The moby didn't like the 'new' fuel pump and would not disengage, so the original pump was fitted instead. That has cured the moby issue, it now turns off.
Saying that, the thing still won't run.
The replacement engine came from another Master of the same year which had had a back end smash. The engine, however, was still running fine.
The timing for the fuel pump was not disturbed, we never removed the cam belt to change it, it was disconnected by three bolts just before it enters the cam belt area, so the timing should still be ok.
The injectors were not changed, but I don't think they need coding? Could be wrong perhaps?
The only thing I have noticed is that there seems to be a lot of air in the return line after cranking.
There is a priming bulb in there, and it goes hard after some pumping, but after cranking, it's pretty soft again.
I kinda suspect that there's air getting into the system somehow.
Not knowing loads about diesels, having never really worked on them before, I was wondering if any of you guys would have any ideas??
Cheers,
Mick.
