Thread: 3.2L Duratorq injection pump and injectors?

Or a Mazda? Unfortunately nothing else survives engine wise. 2L twin turbo grenade young, even the hilux didn't live through 100,000km. This failure was the result of dealer not following instructions from 2013 to alter the servicing schedule to a more frequent one so not really the fault of the engine or the design - if it wasn't fuced up by the workshop likely wouldn't have failed. Problem is now what to replace it with, the only option is looking like the 3L V6 diesel which means another Ranger.

More frequent serviceing is probably not gonna help the longevity of your pump and injectors unless you constantly put dirty fuel in it/run it on waste oil etc.

Which is the piss off - only filled off commercial sources. Mostly large cities - only a few backwaters but all commercial suppliers. At the low mileage it's travelled it shouldn't have suffered this failure - and no real explanation forthcoming apart from filtration failure or servicing clusterflucks. With the numbers of post service driving home bonnet popups on this vehicle and number of times I've found FOD left under the hood I have no idea why I didn't ditch them years ago.

Foreign objects that dumbarses leave behind. I'm up a screwdriver and a bunch of unused cable ties so far...

120 - far under what it should have (0 km travelled over lockdown didn't help that though to be fair). It's the result of too many teething issues that I ended up having to fix myself. As I said, not a vehicle fault but dealer service end just not having the required experience and performing to what I would expect as a standard. And not doing the extra servicing at my cost as agreed at purchase time - finding that out was a real slap in the face. I'm probably old fashioned in that when things are agreed that is what I expect will happen - and when I find out that it's not happening it really pisses me off.

In the old days of mechanical injection 100k would be typical for an injector service new nozzels and check preasures 80-100 bucks each.

Then there was the D4D Toyota that ate injector seals every 40-80 thousand and if not replaced the cabon build up blocked the oil intake and lunched the engine.

And now it seems pretty much everything if it gets one drop of water in it the whole system is fucked and costs 8-12grand to replace.

We certainly have come a long way.

What has caused the pump failure is it water or something else?
