Help!. Talk about a bad day. 1, My vacuum pump on my 2.25 diesel fell off from its mountings while driving to night work. Which left me flumexed on how?. Eventually I got some help from Mr ty wrap to keep the pump together. Which I evetually got home with. So I needed to know what size bolts to replace and specs for this size engine. Has there been a better way to permently fix this.

2, A person who I was going for an interview with never showed up. 3, To cap it off I did not have any dinner, because I was trying to fix this stupid pump. So do I win the prize of the unlucky sod award?. How much would it cost to replace the vacuum pump?

regards

Is the vacuum pump on a 2.25D the same as one for a 2.5D? Sits where the dissy would on a 2.25 petrol?

I paid a tenner for a second hand vacuum pump for my 2.5. I never actually had to put it on though, as taking the existing 'broken' one off scared it into working again!, and its been fine since!

I think the bolts on my engine are all standard metric ones.

Well managed to sort the problem out. There was a kind local engineer store who let me have some bolts for free. The vacuum pump is working okay. I cannot fathom how the bolts got away. Unless thieves took it or mice.

Does yours use a metal strap too bolt to the engine and uses a pully wheel to pump.

Sounds like 2.25 vacuum pums are completely different to 2.5 ones then! Mine bolts on where the dissy would be, and is driven off the cam.
