2.5 TDI Fuel Pump Lock?

ioboy · May 8, 2014

Morning all,

Can anyone point me to a picture of/describe where the lock on the injection pump is? Read a lot of guides referring to a 10mm bolt with a wedge/tab washer underneath it, but can't see it on ETKA online, or online generally:

Unless it's #7?

Sorry if this is obvious; not had my morning coffee yet!

It's not shown in that picture. It's on the bottom I think, near the pulley end and is 10mm as you say with a piece of metal perhaps 10mm squared with a slight lip trapped under it.

The way it works is the setscrew [10mm AF] is loosened & the plate is removed. This allows the screw to go in further & tighten against a dia. of some sort inside the pump, locking it from turning. To unlock, the screw is loosened, the plate reinstalled & the screw retightened. The only purpose for the locking plate is to keep the screw with the pump during normal running.

Look in the tech section (DIY cambelt change) post 38 shows Autodata pic of the pump. Number 16 bolt & 17 lock plate T:
