Ali Express High Pressure Pump

[1hdtman]

Hi Everyone,
First of all I am new here and this is my first post. Your help will be much appreciated!
I have a 1990 factory 1hdt 80 series. The injection pump starts leaking fuel badly.
My car has sat for a number of years and I believe this might be the reason why the pump has leaked out.
I am wondering if anyone has bought any of these pumps from Alibaba or Ali express ?
Rebuilding will cost me an arm and a leg here in Australia.
Thanks for the reply in advance!

Welcome to the community.

Get the original re-sealed. Don"t even think about replacing the most complex and fine tolerance mechanical part of the vehicle with some made in China.

If you are tight on funds, learn to do the job yourself. The seals are cheap.

Not worth the risk. Whereabouts are you in Oz?

In Canberra, ACT.

You could try Cooma diesel, I think they have a branch in Fyshwick these days as well as Cooma.

Have you tried sourcing the leak?

Two common spots are at the governor crank through the top cover (the part that the accelerator linkage connects to) and the shaft of the cold-start device on the side of the pump. Both of these can be changed with the pump in situ and without needing to recalibrate afterwards.

I think I’ll be going there for a rebuild.
