Is it a specialist job to test the timing of the fuel pump. I hear some people checking it from time to time and making adjustments...Should any reasonable Diesel mechanic be able to do it??

What is required to do this and is it a costly exercise??

Cheers

It depends on what "timing" they are talking about.
You can look down and see the timing marks on the pump flange and timing cover yourself.
You can adjust it by loosening the nuts and rotating until it is aligned.

I think the other timing is the internal calibration which is best done by a fuel injection shop.
If the adjustments can be made with the pump on the engine it will only be 1-2 hours labour.

If the pump has to come off ,it can get expensive.

Inj pumps do not need to be fiddled with once they are set,at least not till the nest 100000 klm service

Good morning Andrew.

If you give Glyn a call on 9757 9927 and ask him what is involved with the pump problem that you have, and he will tell you what is needed to be done to fix the pump, he is one of the few people who will spend time telling you, also he wont rip you OFF,when he has fixed it, i had my injectors serviced by him and cost me $450:00 and he fitted them and all is running well, where the other place said it will be $759:00 to fix,Glyn is at Margaret River, and a very good diesel mechanic, all the best.

Cheers for now......William H...Bunbury....Wa
