Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Hi guys, on the last service of my 2006 3.2 DiD SWB Pajers I was adviced that my Injectors should be serviced/ the tips replaced. My question is: On what mileage should one typically replace the injectors / service them?

Cheers.
Bossie.

With proper maintenance the injectors should last a very long time. I sold my Isuzu 280 DT with 330k and it still had the original injectors fitted.

I personally believe you replace them when the symptoms (of failing injectors) emerge:

• smoking
• fuel consumtion increase
• uneven running
• high EGTs

Protect them by using good diesel, filters and injector cleaners. (I use 2-stroke oil in my diesel).

Hi there, Please advise on the use of 2 stroke oil to clean injectors. My vehicle is running very irregularly and I have tried the commercial brands available to clean the injectors without success. The Dealer cannot locate any problem using diagnostic testing yet the vehicle often jerks and isles roughly. Thanks, Tommy

Hi Tommy,

The guys at SAC advised me to get the injectors checked and serviced at maximum intervals of 40 000 km. Their cost to take them out, check and service them is about R300-00. I personaly think it is money well spent.

Do you know what this service was in detail? springs? tips etc?

I was charged R5500.00 by Alan Black for "refurbishment" of injectors.

Does anyone know what the price of new ones are and is it worth having old ones "refurbished"..

I got quoted R6300 for the set less than a month ago (non common rail)

Marius, yours is a common rail is it not?

The mitsu dealers quoted me R11 500 for parts and labour on a Gen4 (common rail I believe?)

(this was in June - before I bought the vehicle...)

No. Mine is not common rail.

Mine is the 2 stage mechanical injector with electronic diesel injection pump.

Non common rail looks like this



common rail looks like this (note the electrical connection)

Wow, ok - I thought all the 4M41 engines had the same injectors... I thought all common rail! When did they switch over to common rail?
