ive got a Volvo 460 which is actually running a renault 1.9TD engine, so i thought this would be the place to ask. i want to change the Lucas/CAV diesel pump for a Bosch one but dont know which one would be a direct replacement, if there is one at all. please if anyone has a renault 1.9TD with a Bosch pump or knows of a web site with comparison details could you post. thank you very much for the info in advance. |

Bit of an odd question, can I ask why you want to do so, unless there's somthing wrong with the lucas? |

its kind of an oily question, veg oil to be precise. the bosch pumps can take almost 100% and not have a problem whereas the lucas will seize after as little as 4 miles. so the lucas needs to go or the car. |

has anyone got any ideas? if this works it could be used by all 1.9td renaults  . im running 30%veg to 70%diesel now with no loss of power or economy, in fact the car seems to run better for it. |

Are you just buying it straight from the super market or getting waste stuff? |

Chris, im not sure if your familiar with the country of 'Wales'. It is a completley useless place if you want anything like that. Nearest filling station for bio diesel is about 50 miles away and even its still selling for about 89.9!!! |

you can also use heating oil. for every 4litres of diesel put 1 litre in. |

In that whole list there is only one person doing 100% biodiesel:
ID Oils
The Gardens
Malton Road
York
North Yorkshire
YO32 9TN
tel: 01904 400552
Map 100% blend
hehe, tried that stuff - its a bit thick and kills a bit of power, but its 69p/litre with duty paid! |

i might have found a solution after checking all renault 1.9 diesel engines it seems in 1999 an espace was made with a 1.9TD engine and bosch pump. all i need now is for someone to post a picture of there engine, without its plastic covers on so i can compare layout with the ealier 1995 renault engine in my volvo. my guess is itll fit. |
