Joop Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Ok, i know theres not many here with the 2.1 diesel MJ, but the bosch ve pump was used in everything from small VW's to big dodge's so maybe some of you can help me out... Thing is i broke the banjo bolt on the return line at the rear of the pump. Anyone know if i would blow up something i i replace that bolt with a solid one?? The excess diesel still has free flow back to the fuel thank, it just won't be any flow between the return line and the pump. I'm almost ready to fire it up again and i can't get a replacement bolt untill monday, and then i won't be back here wrenching untill next friday :fs1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joop Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Thanx for the quick reply! Guess there won't be any test driving this weekend... Moving on to the next step instead, how to get the intercooler in front of the radiator where it might actually do what its supposed to do! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joop Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 At everyday driving and higway speeds, youre probably right abut that. But not when crawling around in 1th low and youre running more boost and fuel than stock. I might even look for a bigger intercooler at the junkyard if it doesn cool down the intake temp just by moving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightrider Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Go to NAPA, a brake line banjo bolt should work.....look in their brake parts with the unions, compression fittings and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Go to NAPA, a brake line banjo bolt should work.....look in their brake parts with the unions, compression fittings and such. Do they have NAPAs in Norway? :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joop Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 No NAPA here. But it shouldnt be a problem to get a new bolt with the proper sized orifice (if that is important, according to jeepcomj it probably is) The renault 2.1 is widely used in several common cars around here.
