To set a diesel pump on a sprinter

there will be a small hand pump either on the diesel pump or on the filter. bleed the filter out first and then open the bleed screws on the pump and pump until you get straight fuel., The pump may requiring unscrewing the handle/knob first so that you can move it up and down to pump. When finished remember to re screw it back down. crack the injector lines and turn engine over until you get drips of fuel from the nuts. continue to turn over the engine while tightening the nuts and it should start before you have finished with the nuts.

how do i change a diesel pump on a sprinter bus

This is not an injector problem, you mush have something else going on. Have the dealer test the system electronic controls.

turbo diesel ?? sprinter van aluminium head 85/90 lbs ,cast iron head 120lbs

its a matter of opinion. they both have good service records. i prefer gas though.

hi, yes you can,cant remember exact figure think its 0.9mm, use the bolt above where the spline enters the block to adust the timing by ear-give merc a ring for the exact dial gauge setting as it is different for each engine.

place key in ignition. turn to acc ,make sure radio is off listen for small hum it last about 15 to30 sec if you hear hum pump good . no hum check fuse if good more than likey bad pump. check if it has a glow plug

In an ideal world you'd fill up the filter with diesel before you fit the pipes.

The fuel pumps find it hard to pump air. Generally you should get it going within a minute or so. keep turning it over, but have a break after 30 seconds for about 15 seconds.

This is perfectly normal.

remove air cleaner...then remove the black engine cover....the filter is under it

what dind of a injection pump do you have the cav lucas or what
