Hello all, been a while since I posted anything and thought I would share my newest addition. I just picked up a 1986 Jeep cherokee with a factory 2.1 turbodiesel. Great interior, faded paint, but only 150K on the odometer. I had to have the starter rebuilt and put a new o-ring on the oil filter remote adapter, but she runs good. It's not fast by any stretch of the imagination, but when the turbo is boosting 10 lbs, it can get out of it's own way. I noticed that the bosch VE pump is leaking a little bit of diesel, and while this wouldn't bother me much, we have an emissions guy here that will fail a diesel for any sort of fuel leak. I was hoping that I could do a reseal on the pump like I have done on my tdi.
The manual I got with the Jeep says that the pump is a bosch VE4/9f. I'm not super familiar with their numbering system, but would the 4 indicate 4 cylinders? and 9 mm pump?
Some websites indicate that their IP seal kits fit any VE pump, but I find that a little difficult to believe considering that the VE can be configured for small 4 cylinder engines and large 6 cyl cummins.
Any help locating a set of seals for this pump would be greatly appreciated.
I'm excited to drive this 4wd 35 mpg tractor!!
