My early 80 sreies TD fuel pump seems to be pumping more fuel ou the side than into the motor. Does this mean that an expensive fix is needed. It did have a slow leak about a year ago but stopped by itself after about a month now it is really coming out so I am not driving it.
Anyone had this prob before?

Just had my 80 series pump done.
They remove the top plate and replace the top pump gasket/seal and on
mine they replaced the throttle shaft and seal as
well.
Apparently the new seals are OK with the low sulphur diesel. Time will tell.
You should be able to get it done for less than a couple hundred bucks.

Hey 80scruiser thanks for the reply. Is yours on the 1HDT or naturally aspirated because last year for replacing the seals on the car for just the "cold start basket"????, they told me $300. If all the seals need doing it may be much more up to $1200 because they have to remove it and bench
test it and put it back together again. Just wanting to know if this sounds rediculous or not?
Thoughts?

Mine is a natural 1HZ after market turbo.
They are different fuel pumps and there are alot of variables in the pricing like Km travelled, wear inside etc. I would
shop around as that costs you nothing but time.
