Nissan Almera / Patrol / Terrano

Bosch VP44 Diesel pump fitted to Nissan Almera / Patrol / Terrano

This is a very common problem for all Nissan vehicles with the 2.2 DI & 3.0 DI engines built between 1999 and 2001.

The mechanical side of the pump is usually very reliable and gives very few problems, nearly all of the faults we see are caused by the Electronic Diesel Control unit (EDC) located on the top of the diesel pump.

However internal malfunction of the EDC will cause the vehicle to cut out, if running when fault occurs, and will prevent the engine from starting again.

Scanning the vehicle with diagnostic tools will give you fault codes for spill valve or injection begin errors, which are sure signs that the EDC has failed.

Because the EDC is not available separately from the diesel pump itself, main dealerships will often or a new replacement diesel pump with EDC.

We offer a better solution – repair of your original EDC, and there’s no need for coding once you receive the unit back to us either.

Please note that we only test the EDC on top of the pump, we cannot test the mechanical part of the pump.

These Bosch VP44 diesel pumps can be difficult and very time consuming to remove and reinstall to the vehicle, we recommend any removal/reinstall be performed by a trained technician ideally with previous experience of these pumps. Attempting to run these pumps when they are drained of fuel can seriously damage the mechanical side of the pump.
