Help me fix my Pajero

[the_possessed]

Hello Everyone,

We recently acquired a 2nd Generation Pajero 2500 Diesel (local) and although it looks fresh in and out, I'm sure there a lot things to check and get fixed.

Last Holy Week, I drove the car to Clark with my family and notice few things.

- consumes a lot of gas, cost me 800 round trip.
- when i step on the brake, i can feel some sort of a wavey vibration.
- very dark smoke coming out of the muffler
- thermometer backlight is busted
- 4WD light indicator in the panel is busted as well.. 3 out of 4 lits..
- when I switch to 4WD, the 4WD indicator blinks non-stop and shows that central differential is locked while IT IS NOT.

any ideas? Thanks!

-the wavy vibration...either due to the road, or your brake rotors need refacing
-dark smoke - nothing regular pms wouldn't be able to take care of, and dun mo malalaman if it needs to have parts replaced
-backlight, pwede raw DIY yan, or you can have eldorado do that for you (aurora branch has mechanics sa store mismo)
-same thing with the lights indicator
-4wd...sorry bro, no clue on this one, dehins ako 4x4 eh

let's wait for additional posts from the other pajero guys here :D

solenoid(tama ba?) for the 4x4 sensor, disc reface or grease repack, nozzle calibration

[Pajoz]

Vibration - as sir N93 says, rotor disc need to reface, pati likod pa re-face mo na or kung me tama na malalim na, change the rotor disc (Ouch)
Backlight - madali lang yan, you can even change the bulb into colored one.(blue,green red)

thanks for the replies. mahal ba ang disc refacing? how much kaya yun?

for the solenoid, what should i check with it? san ko banda makikita un?

any ideas how much ang nozzle calibration?

sounds like a lot of expense..

[mbt]

search for past topics about diesel calibration, marami niyan dito. you can try denso sa banawe, tsikot guy din in charge dun hehe

yung refacing, mura lang yun AFAIK.

[Field Master]

Standard price for refacing of warped rotor is 900 pesos per piece.
Black smoke be specific as to the conditions when this was encountered.
High gas consumption be specific also, express this on language tsikot people understand such as li/km, normally 7 to 8 li/km is pretty standard i read previously.
Calibration cost depend on work to be done, around 8Kpesos kung major calibration job.

Boss Sobra naman yata lakas ng 7~8 Li/Km, di kaya Km/L ibig mo sabihin?

[Field Master]

ooppss i'm sorry, it should be in km/li and not the other way around.

black smoke is common especially when u floor it. change oil, oil filter n fuel filter. if still black, nozzle tips and calibration.

[Pajoz]

i've done mine in the province, paid P1200 for the set of four, plus labor sa nagkabit-tanggal.P300.

[Pajoz]

better do it now (re-face), mas mahal kapag rotor disc assembly ang bibilhin mo. Napalitan ko na yung sa Pajero ko dito (UAE) $ 150 pair of front disc rotor original mitsu, napabayaan kasi ng previous owner.

On the disk rotors, try to search for replacement rotors (kahit di-orig) first then you can decide whether to change or to resurface (it's seems better to change kung kaya ng budget). Warped rotors seem to be a commom fixture on some Mitsus i've encountered.

On the smoke, start first with cleaning your fuel system (changing the filters, cleaning the strainer, etc) and changing/cleaning your air filter along with a change oil. Kung meron pa rin, then it's time to have your injection pumps checked out.

the oem phil. market rotors kasi are...thin. you might wanna get the JDM pajero evo rotors as upgrade, for sure mas makapal yun.

front and rear set would set you about a total of around 36T pesos, total weight of the 4 rotors are about 32kg.

:D

1. vibration when braking - I concur with the reco of most of the guys have your rotors checked/refaced/or replaced if necessary
2. black smoke - normal during first few seconds of flooring the accelerator for heavy acceleration. if black smoke is continuously emitted have your injectors checked/serviced
3. temp backlight and 4x4 lights - bring it to any reputable electrical shop. I would recommend Wizzard in Morato. As some of the guys said, that can be a DIY job
4. 4wd indicator blinking - have the connections checked.

Hope this helps.
