TLC 80, Injection Pump work or not ? (for Julian)
Hi all !
At the moment, we are getting a 93, 12V, TLC hdj 80 VX ready for a trip to Mauritania.
the 80 is got ,at least,210.000 kmts on the clock
Julian, I did read in your post you recommend a Injection pump adjustment and cleaning after about 200.000 kts
I went to the local "diesel center" they told me it costs 600 eu. But they did not recommend me to do it unless the pump was not working well, or leaking.
Then I went to a Toy place, where they get the 80's ready for Dakar's and so on. They told me the I.P. is "retarded" (well, the opposite of advanced) and recommend me to adjust it properly. 30 Eu job. I notice nothing wrong with the IP.
The Toy guys also want to get more pressure from the turbo in order to get more power. They say it's no problema for the engine. ??¿¿
They also found about 10 minor details to take care. The main one is a leak in the exaust manifold. Even I can hear that one clearly.
The more than 1 hour check at the Toy place was done for free.
Whats your oppinion about the Injection and Turbo thing ?
thanks a lot in advance !
