as above i think my diesel pump has gone on my 2000 newer shape transit and i need it sorted, i always fix all my cars but i hate diesels and i would rather have somone else sort it as iv given up i cant get it going

what type of price should i be looking at to take it to a garage? i will find a pump to keep the price down, i never take my car to garages because most of the time i know more than thay do and thay very rarly fix the problem in my experiance lol,

i had a astra van about a year ago and after taking it to a few garages to sort the problem i had to take it to vauxhall in the end because thay were all money robbers, at vauxhall thay charged me 250 to tell me it was 1 of lifes mysterys (actual words of the goon) so i was 500 out of pocket with nothing done

i am stuck, i cant fix my transit so i have no choice but to give it to the diesel garage down by me,

thanks for looking any advice would be great

thanks diesel

 

well auto data says around 4 hours so i would imagine around Ł200 plus vat

 

my mates garage charge around Ł30 an hour if thats anything to go by. are you from sunderland by any chance or am i thinking of someone else?

 

hopfully its around that i will go see the garage tomorrow, iv been thinking about 700 ish i dont know what people charge iv been stressed right out lol thanks for you help

 

im from south wales with the sheep lol to tell you the truth i thought thay charge you for the job not the by the hour
thanks again

 

Ł200-Ł250 labour + the pump depends on fwd or rwd, autodata quotes 4 hrs
I changed a rwd last thursday first thing was to put it up on the wash ramp and steam clean the engine where the vacumn pump has been leaking oil for years, by the time the job was done road tested invoiced and ready for collection 6.5 hrs.
The autodata time does not allow any time for getting all the tools out to do the job cleaning them and putting them away, cleaning up work area, job sheet and invoice, or road test.

 

if its a coded pump it will have to go to Ford to be coded aswell

 

from what iv been told it is a coded one, its a 2000 2.0 td dura torx di fwd, does it have to be done by ford or can any garage do it with the right equipment? why does it have to be coded? it sounds like another money making scam by ford surly theres no need to have a code

thanks for all your replys

 

Depends where you buy the pump from Diesco at ipswich sell them with the immobiliser circuit disconnected.

 

I was quoted Ł600 for mine,the pump itself is working okay its just leaking a little bit,so im still driving it untill it goes pop

 

I'm sure you clear the codes before fitting the pump and then I've fitted it reads and saves the codes from the engine thus recoding it itself
