Hi everyone,
Need some help please. My '98 R 800 Special 1.9TD T4 (221k on the clock and still pulling and looking well!) has a leak from what I think is the area of the Vacuum pump thing.
I'm reliably informed that's what it's called by my father in law in any case.
If the engine was a petrol engine, this is apparently where the distributor would sit.
Anyway, it leaks all the time. Not loads an loads but it leaks. Now obviously it's not going to fix itself so I'd like to know the following please:
1, I've been told there is a rubber 'O Ring' on the shaft that goes into the crankcase which may be passing, is this right?
2, Is this a common thing, has anybody else had this problem?
3, Is it going to be a fairly simple fix? (I cut my teeth on beetles and T2s so I do know one end of a spanner from the other).
4, Where can I get an O Ring from?
Thanks very much for your anticipated responses T:
