Hi,
i'm new to this forum and world of Pajero having just bought my first 4X4. Its a 2.8 tdi Gen 3 model yr 2004. There is pipe/hose missing at the top of the radiator and looks like connecting to the turbo. i have attached a pic circling the section of the pipe missing. would any of you experts know what is the part # since i can't find this info anywhere to order a new part. BTW in my country there is no mitsubishi dealership so i will have to source it from somewhere.

Hi there
I will see if I can find a part number on mine. How does one lose something so big ?

Hiya
That pipe goes into the airbox and is typically removed and chucked away when a Snorkel is fitted. It may be cheaper to fit a snorkel than to replace that!

Hi, any idea of what kind of costs are involved here. i'm thinking its just a piece of pipe so shouldn't be something expensive

I would also be worried that might increase dust getting to the air filter if you do a lot of gravel, as intake designed to let heavier sand pieces swirl and exit from bottom opening before the housing.
Find out the price at the stealers, but scrapyards/ snorkel may be a better bet depending on cost.
