Fantastic ill get him to message you when hes home thanks for all your help guys

 

PM sent.

 

This is an old thread but wondered if there is any chance I could be pm'd the programming instructions or any guide on changing the pumps?

 

@Sueatherdesk are you 100 % sure it is the pump not the leak off pipes or fuel prime lost two plug or single plug version ?

 

The problem basically is that i (my mechanic) replaced the engine complete with pump from a donor car - I dont have the details of the donor car. The error code on the OBD the mechanic used and advice from others suggest two otions 1. reprogram the pump to the car - I am still trying to find someone who can do this so my car can speak to it and disaarm the immobiliser - but this is not proving easy as I live in remotesst Argyll! - and I'm not even sure its possible without the code from the donor car.
or 2. Replace the donor pump with the original pump of the engine i removed from my car!
I've already established it's a pig of a job and I am terrified of messing up the timing but it looks like I have to take the F%$£ing engine out again to do it!
Any recommnedations/ idiot guides/ regarding reprogramming or pump changing gratefully received!

Oh its 2004 a dti engine

 

This is the original thread about the pump for info

Is the pump a single or twin plug.

 

PSG 16 I think two plug

 

So you have two other options rather than remove the pump,
1. find someone with GlobalTis and SPS programme the pump with your cars VIN, this will overwrite the pump software and virginise the pump, you can then use your cars security code to program the pump to your car.
2. Use a diganostic tool called Carprog to read the security code from the pump on the car, then use Opcom to reset the pump using the code you get with Carprog, once thats done you can use the cars own security code to program the pump to your cars immo system.
Only other way is to remove the pump, if you do this i would strongly advise you to get the timing pin kit and lock the engine at the correct TDC position using the tools before removing the pump.

 

Sitrep….. can’t seem to find anybody in the Oban area with that software. Wondering can I do it myself with a laptop and a plug? where would I get the downloads and presumably activation keys?

 

There is no security code in the single plug pump, just match the numbers and its plug and play.

 

it is a long time since i changed one can the two plug ones be programmed with tech 2 had details on both pumps on old laptop that died

 

Yes, you would use Tech 2 as a passthru device along with GlobalTis to program the pump software to the car that its in, once thats done you can use Tech 2 or Opcom to program the pump to the cars immo with the cars 4 digit code.

 

not that easy opcom needs setting up and you need an adapter @Koicarpkeeper can advise on best one for doing this

 

I know that this an old thread but is their a procedure on this site for removing the PSG16 pump?
