- The Opel Vectra 2.2 diesel seems to have a rare problem. As it doesn't have any auxiliary fuel pump, when there is a leak in the fuel system, air will get inside and the battery will die before the injection pump (driven by the timing chain) will manage to bring back the fuel in the system. We installed an manual pump in order to get the car starting after an overnight stop, but we would like the car to run as it used to.
First we changed the fuel return pipes, inspected the fuel filter container for leaks and now we are onto the seals of the injectors, though we didn't trace oil in the fuel filter as that is a clear sign of injector seals failure. I also traced a leak on the tap of the injection pump, which I solved by removing the 4 screws and added some silicone where I considered to be necessary.
After doing all this, the fuel system seems to maintain the fuel itself better in the pipes but still is not like an out o the factory start.
The difficult bit is taking off the camshaft without disturbing the timing. That whole bit is missing!
Tie wrap the chain to the cam sprocket. Keep max tension on the chain sprocket by using bungee cords or similar.
Mark the cam and sprocket as there is no keyway.
Set engine to approx TDC. 1+3 pointing up I seem to recall. Remove the vac pump.
Put a screwdriver or drill bit in the sprocket resting on the head to stop it turning. Unbolt.
Now follow the tutorial above, preferably without over loud music drowning out the speech.
Nice video!
The Bosch VP30/VP44 injector pumps are the killers of these bomb proof engines! Use supermarket diesel and it will eat the rubber in the injector seals, PUMP SEALS!!! and spill off pipes, which will allow air into the fuel circuit causing air locks, which can also seize the pumps too.! You can fit a 12v primer pump which I also fitted with a non return valve to lock the fuel pressure, Yes it works but its no a proper fix, When these engines start having poor start problems, You know 100% the damage is done!
Spot on indeed... And then, a 1200 Euro repair bill to renew the fuel pump... :(
@benz merc yeah, I would also like to know that too...
Google is a great tool
hi,mabe you have full video whit that part when you removing the camshaft and how it done thanks
Thank you, now is working well.

Is it necessary to remove the distribution chain to remove the camshaft?

How much it's cost you to fix it coz seems like I have same problem with my car saab 93 2.2 tid?
The o-rings cost around 50 euro. But you should check first all the little vacuum tubes that run through the engine compartment. It might also be a problem with a leaking one leading to a closed air valve (it might be a not so expensive repair).

why not install a 12v electric priming pump instead?
We wanted to solve the problem and in the end completely eliminate the added priming pump.
My car Opel vectra b 1998 2 Nummer plug black with

How do you know?
EGR is not like on 2.2
@@direktorsvemira1374 hi!
My car is a Opel Vectra B caravan and have the same engine, and it is a 2.2 DTI from 2002.
I'm a little confused right now.
I think the code number of my engine it's a y22DTR.
What do you think 🤔?
Y22DTR or y22DTH?
Thanks! 👍
whats with the loud music. i thought this is a video to find out how to fix shit not listen to THIS LOUD music, or maby its just my mistake i ended up over here by mistake. anyway TURN IT OFF OR TURN IT DOWN
Cry me a river
2l dti engine egr cleaned, engine wont start! put easy start in air cleaner system, it starts. the engine needs cleaning out, such a shit design.
Useless this does not show how to remove the injectors only the feed bar/clamp
Hi David. It shows how to change the seals that tend to leak. The video wasn't intended for more than that and it doesn't claim that in the title or anywhere else.
Awful loud music NOT necessary!
