Brilliant!

Gook luck with yours Mike S. To summarise the steps I now believe are required to do a quick external fix: 1. Clean area thoroughly with a small paint brush and brake cleaner spray 2. Remove the plug from the sensor terminal. Clean a bit more if required, esp. around nut. 2.a You may wish to...

Yes I think it all depends on the exact type of rubber, I always use plumbers silicone grease to fit suspension bushes (washing up liquid has salt in it and encourages water but silicon grease drives water away) as they reckon the mineral grease attacks it. Can't recall who 'they' were though...

BTW I would have stuffed an O-ring into that gap you can see, I have a box of them and was tempted, but I didn't want the diesel to eat it and turn it into a ring of sludge I'd then have to clean out one day LOL.

Haha - but I suspect there IS an O-ring underneath that presses against the lid. Taking the lid off is I think possible but I'd be wanting the correct (and like you say - fuel resistant!) lid gasket and sensor O-ring/gasket to hand to do it, and of course the risk of contamination goes up. I...

Ok, think I fixed it with PTFE. When the ring-nut of off it doesn't sink and it's located by an invisible key (i.e. under the lid) so it doesn't turn when the nut is tightened. So it's just a non-adjustable connector, probably with wires behind to the sensor as per the diagram. I used around 2...

Had a closer look at the various 1kz-te pump info on the internet etc and found this: There's more info locked away by scribd (charging to view stuff they don't own) but that's all I could get free. It does show however that mine is a slightly older (1996) type with only the bit ring-nut...

Cheers. Have cleaned up the top area with brake cleaner (it's silver again - yay!), tried tightening the 32mm ring-nut a fraction (was reasonably easy) but still leaking. When I take the ring-nut off the sensor is going to fall into the pump body (unless there is a weird bayonet system), I'm not...

Thanks for the link, I think he's unscrewing a different sensor though. Maybe it's not sensing the temperature, but it's the big sensor with the huge nut on it (arrowed on my original pic). It's white in the video as that one is clean, with a large diameter shiny nut around it.

Hi all, I actually have a Hiace but there seems to be so much 1kz-te expertise on this forum I thought perhaps someone may know the answer to a somewhat obscure question. This is the grimy top of my injector pump, when I pressurise the fuel using the primer pump a ring of wet fuel appears...
