I drive a 1.9D non-turbo Doblo. My mechanic tells me the van is in "limp mode". It starts and idles ok but it accelerates sluggishly. Local Fiat agent says the diesel pump rotor is sitting at the wrong angle so the pump needs to be replaced. Problem is a new pump here in deepest, darkest South Africa costs almost half the price of the van!
There's no-one around here clued up enough about this engine that can fix the thing. My searches have shown that there is a way to lock the pump and then set its timing. One guy even mentioned using 6mm bolts instead of a special tool to lock the pump. Is this the way to go?
Any suggestions would be welcome.
