not had car very long. 2.5 td (bmw) cdx estate. injector pump naking noise when car is reved . is this terminal or just expensive? is there any one that can help? this is over only car and cost is an issue! ( who dont have that problem) this is stopping a nice car being excilent!

The only thing that makes the pump loud is if the timing is out or the engine has been turned over by hand anti-clockwise.
Ive seen cases when the throttle body from bmw(525) was fitted to a omega and it was noisey.
If you can get the fault codes using the paperclip test post them up

Are you sure its the pump and not the timing chains

hi

just been out to the car and carried out the paper clip test, (easy when you know how). i came up with the following codes. 64 + 96. i noticed on the way home from work today, when changing down the gearbox there was a brief flash of the management light! only noticed twice as sun was shining bright.

The flash of the managment light means the pump is failing. My own omega done the same thing then it started stalling when i took my foot off the gas whilst driving,coming to a stop at traffic lights,junctions etc.
The only fix is a new or re-con pump which will cost around £1600+fitting(brand new)
The usual fix for code 64 would be putting diesel treatment through the system but the pump is beyond this.

Hope you have better luck than I did lol.
What to do is try any breakers to see if they have any.
replacing the pump isn't dificult so your best bet is you remove the pump from a donor car then you know how it goes back together.
If you do get a pump from a breakers get the pump re-coned before you fit it if your finances allow it

Get some diesel magic from Halfords and a new fuel filter, fill the filter with diesel magic and then fit it to the car see if that helps

[shadwell1981]
