Vibrator?

[306pc]

Ever since I had my Bosch pump put on I'm getting vibrations coming down to the accelerator pedal. Is it likely to be the pump or could it be the engine mounts? It happens at about 1500 and 3000 revs.

Any advice appreciated as I'm no mechanic, and it's driving me mad.

check the 4 bolts that mount the pump to the bracket, 3 of them are in a triangle on the cambelt side and the other is underneath beind the injector lines.
Also check the throttle cable routing
Finally check the mounts as you sugested

As said ^ people have had issues with the pump vibrating at certain rpms when they don't have all the mounting bolts in, particularly the one under the pump delivery valves

Cheers boys.
I'm getting a bigger turbo slipped on next week with jenks so we'll get it sorted then. Not sure which I'm looking forward to more, the extra punch or smooth drive? :-)

Yep I have no bolt underneath, vibrates at 3k haha

Poo. I bought another Bosch thinking it was the pump.

mine used to vibrate like this and every bolt was fitted and torqued properly, had all the mounts replaced, still did it. eventually when i swapped the engine but kept the same mounts etc it stopped. still don't really know what caused it but i guess must have been the routing of something that was changed after the engine swap.

Happened to mine, bracket sheared into two pieces.

Still drove ok tho, put another 1K on it before it got fixed
