Earlier on I took this Bosch injection pump lid off to reveal a slight rust deposits on a lot of the surfaces. The car it came from had been standing for a year or three. It's in bits as the seals need replacing due to air ingress.
Is it perfectly normal/okay to leave or should I do something about it?
If so, what should I do to get rid of it all? It seems to rub off fairly easily.
It's a Bosch from a 2.1 TurboD

Re: Rusty deposits in the injection pump
Hi Kev
If its only surface rust I wouldn't worry about it, as long as everything that should move does it will be OK, remove any you can wipe off though. Strangely enough I had the same thing with my central heating boiler pump yesterday which kept cutting out, gave it a good clean inside and its fine now.

Re: Rusty deposits in the injection pump
Okay thanks Peter. I've cleaned up what I can. It all does move okay and there isn't a lot of rust. All back together now!
