If your turbo diesel is just not producing enough power during acceleration and you know the engine is healthy and all filters are clear - this unit could be the problem. Good used ALDA assembly removed from a good running 300D engine. This device sits on top of the injection pump and controls fuel flow rates to your injectors. This unit can be damaged if improperly adjusted. It will ship with the parts bagged separately and carefully packed and sealed in plastic bags to prevent damage to the gasket. Note: The spring and C-clip are included as well as the four mounting plate screws.
Product Details
This unit is undamaged and comes with the mounting plate, hardware, and a used gasket as shown. The cap seal on top has been removed for easy adjustment Adjustment procedures are covered in my manual on Diesel Engine Performance Tuning as well as separate video instructions. There is also a detailed video explaining what the ALDA does and how to troubleshoot and replace the turbo over-boost circuit. See related products below: The wrenches you will need to remove the ALDA are the same as those used to remove the oil cooler hoses.
