Fuel pump seals on the 2.8 Paj UPDATE

[Iceman]

I have found a mechanic in the Wickford area of Essex who will replace the fuel pump seals at a very good price. This includes removal of the pump, replacing the seals and refitting the pump.

Have spoken to him today and have negotiated a price of £175 all in for club members. He has done loads of these seals over the last couple of years and is a dab hand at it now.

He will require the vehicle for a whole day to do the work.

He will also carry out servicing and repairs.

If your pump needs doing give him a call and have a chat, his name is Steve and you can contact him on 07930 748513.

Tell him that he was recommended by Geoff from Maldon Panels :)

£175... nice one!

Mine seems to be starting the symptoms of ****y 2.8 import pump seals.

Runs a bit lumpy on start up, but let it run for a minute or so before you pull off... then ok all day.

[Iceman]

It will only get worse mate, beleive me. Took me over ten mins to get it running well enough to drive this morning :roll: :roll:

[Iceman]

For any one up north who needs seals replacing, I have a number for you to try.

R N Diesels wolverhampton 01902 450912 speak to Bob.

Not been recommended personally but I lifted the number from another site and the lass seemed well pleased. It cost her £190 all in.

Hello and welcome to the club.
The answer to that is No that is a lift pump/filter housing.
The Pump thats is being talked about here is the Injector fuel pump

[barraw]

That's a shame - looked like a cheap option.

I have the same symptom: feels like it's only firing on 3 cylinders for about 5 seconds when really cold. Then runs fine after that. I'm hoping it's just a dodgy glow plug.

thanks.

Just noticed a post, suggesting that this only affect 2.8TD imports? Does it affect 2.8TD UK Spec Shoguns as well?

please say no, please say no.

[Iceman]

Not normally.
The general consencus, is that as the Paj stands for a while in Japan before they are brought over here and possibly that they use a different quality of fuel over there, the seals in the pump tend to dry out and cause problems when we start using then in the UK.
I have heard of very few Shoguns suffering the same problems.

Sounds like you may have a dodgy glow plug there, as if it was the seals going, it would start and then cut out and then be a bugger to start again.

[Iceman]

Have you tried letting the plugs heat up more than once before you start it. Might be worth a try.

[claireMac]

Hi,

Thank you to hrox for your advise...i think I've already worked out what the problem is from various posts on here but i just wanted to make sure what you experts think before i make a tit of myself when i take it to a garage!

I have a 93 Mitsubishi Pajero (2.8 diesel) which starts 1st time but with a very lumpy tick over, kicking out gray smoke if i touch the throttle. If I leave it to tick over for about 5 minutes to warm up it's OK to drive and rarely cuts out, but if i attempt to drive off while it's still spluttering it cuts out and then takes 6-7 attempts to start again (kicking out the gray smoke again whilst turning over). when it's warm and left for a while it'll still start OK it only does it when it's cold?

Could this be the infamous fuel pump seals by any chance? LOL

many thanks!

Claire

Certainly does sound like the pump seals have gone. As you say, its a common problem with these trucks. Prices vary enormously to have the job done, but the difference is fantastic once they have been changed.

[Iceman]

Try these people R N Diesels wolverhampton 01902 450912 speak to Bob. I have heard that they are pretty good think they charge about £190 to do the job.

[claireMac]

Thanks Iceman, I'll give them a ring, it's driving me mad now waiting for 10 minutes each time i go out! :D

[claireMac]

I spoke to Bob from R N diesels who referred me onto Mick from Auto and Diesel, Stag Industrial Estate, Bilston (01902 408090) who did the lot (including new primer) for £275.00.
I'm hoping that it's cured now... I'll see in the morning i suppose!
:roll:

[claireMac]

yipee!!!

:D :D :D

cured!!!!!

[Iceman]

Result then clairemac.

iam new to this site ive just bought a shogun 2.8 td 1998 just done a recon head, it runs fine but first thing in the morning it will stall then take ages too start almost as if the filter has emptied overnight?
any suggestions.

[busteredwards]

I have heard of very few Shoguns suffering the same problems.

I'v only ever had to replace seals on 2 Shoguns, 1 had been repatriated from Cyprus & I know the other had sat off the road for a year, seems to be when they're left sitting idle that the seal dries out & goes hard, resulting in problems!

[Iceman]

As far as I know he is mate, hes a bugger to get hold of tho.

[Matty745]

I used www.mobilemechanic.org/ to do mine, very good on price, think it was £175 plus his fuel cost as he came over to mine in Oxfordshire. but anywhere in a 30mile radius of his he doesn't charge fuel. Highly recommended and only took about 21/2 - 3 hours. His name is Mark by the way.

[fullyloaded2themax]

Hi Guys, i have a Shogun 2.8td, having truble starting, wont rev. Clears after about 10 mins, kicks out black smoke. Drove 5 miles stoped for 5 mins and same again. 5 mins on idel and ok again. Have been on a 30 mile run and its fine when running. Started in the big freese last week. Cant be the seals can it, if it runs fine on long runs? Thanks Nick

Update now wont start at all. Just going to change the Diesel filter. Any other ideas? Is there another filter anywhere? have heard theres a brass 1 someware !!

[4fingers]

Definately sounds like the seals matey.

Bugger to start and ok when engine at operating temp.

the seals swell when hot hence why its fine once engine warm.

Be carefull because when the seal is leaking it is leaking diesel down the timing casing in the sump
