Injector Pump on 406 D Turbo's are they Bosch or Lucas ?

jp

Having just bought a mondeo TD with plans to convert to run on chip fat I have been told that Lucas Pumps don't like used chip fat even with the twin tank system they only like new stuff Sad

So looking for another TD estate and wondering if 406's are Bosch or Lucas !

Afraid not this car is a bit good to break... I will probably have a spare turbo off my Sierra TD once I am sorted with the escort TD in the bus which your more than welcome to have a play with Grin

i think it will be luck of the draw jp! unless phil can correct me i think that both bosch and lucas pumps were used on the 1.9td engines. However, they are a straight swap apparently (according to my new homeys on club-306.com anyway)

my new daily is a 1.9td 306, it's fitted with a lucas pump but if you wander round the scrapyards you should come across one as these pumps were probably fitted to a whole host of other cars with this engine.

citroen
zx
xantia
xsara

pug
306
406
806

and so on...

Use it until it brakes and then change!

It all depends on what was in front of our french factory workers when they came down the line. They can have either of them on.

It isn't hard to swap them over just time consuming and a bit difficult to set the timing up.
