Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Even though I have reconditioned a few petrol engines in my more "adventurous" days, I dont know much about Diesels.

A JNB collegue phoned me for some help. (I'm in CPT)The agents tell her she needs a new diesel pump(gazillion Rand of course!)for her 2000 DiD Pajero.

Is there any other options? Can one buy a used unit and just have it fitted, or does it need to be callibrated on the vehicle by specialists? Can you guys recommend anyone for a second opinion or quote?

any advise greatly appreciated

Hi sixmaniac,

I guess the first question would be why?
i.e. what symptoms is she experiencing?

I have seen lots of paj threads where this is the dealer response and it turns out not to fix the problem.

I would suggest either:
Alan Black (Pty) Ltd
Phone: (011) 811 3490
Fax: (011) 811 3576

or her closest Bosch centre for a second opinion - here is the link to the Bosch / Diesel-Electric branch locator

The cost associated with the diesel pump seems to be a major problem, see:

The cost of a replacement unit and or service of the unit is astronomical, and does not guarantee solving the problem. Rather check all the other possible causes, before going down the expensive path!

It can save you a lot
