2002 2.5 turbo,I need parts

by **wbski007** » Sun Sep 27, 2009 7:25 am

Hi fellows,Just joined the club,I have a 1998 Rodeo US model,with a 2002 UK 2.5 turbo diesel,I purchased it off Ebay,I'm having a hard time finding engine parts here in the states as they don't sell Isuzu's with that motor here,it runs great but I'm looking for new spare parts ,such as water pump and timing belt,just in case I need them later on,any help in finding them will be greatly apprecated,
thanks
Wayne

Yeah in OZ we don't get that engine either, they used them in the UK as the cost of registration or insurance goes up alot when the cc are over 2500.

In the 1996-1997 models interior trim, including the dashboard, was changed, and a new 2.5 diesel (VM41) engine was fitted. This engine was also used in the Range Rover and Jeep Cherokee in the UK.

I think it maybe a BMW diesel
EDIT:2.5 Vittori Turbo-Diesel Engine made in Italy

Does the motor have a number on it to identify. If Isuzu it will start "4j" If its the VM then I expect it will have this designation.
A photo might help.

do you know where the engine # would be located,I've looked but can't see one,it does say ISUZU on the valve cover,I'm quite sure it is an Isuzu engine, exuast is on the passenger side, intake and injection pump is on the driver side and it takes an ac Delco 1298 oil filter,
thanks for the help so far

Here is a photo of my engine,it should help,I've looked everywhere for a engine # but can't find one,I was looking at a photo of the 2.8 mu that Yarno has for sale it looks the same as my 2.5,maybe the water pump and timing belt are the same?
thanks,Wayne

Yeah that defiantly an Isuzu motor. The engine number will be on your drivers side at the back under the intake plenum, there will be an engine number stamped and below that there will be a casting with the engine type 4j**

by **wbski007** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 6:59 am

Thanks yarno, do you think its the same as a 2.8, I tried to look where you said the engine # is but to much stuff in the way

by **wbski007** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 7:08 am

also here is a photo of the water pump,does it look the same as a 2.8?

by **dasnoboarder** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 8:31 am

Looks pretty similar to a 4JB1T :?:

2.8TD

by **geeves** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 9:03 am

Definatly the same series engine. Could be a 4JA1. Where are the alternator and air con pump?
Theres a big hole where they normaly are but I can see what looks like air con pipe work

by **wbski007** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 11:15 am

OK the alternater is on lower left side and the air con pump is on lower right,looking at front of engine,I don't know if this is where they were orignaily on this engine,both seem to have home made brackets, I'll take somemore photos tomorrow and post them,thanks for all the help so far,geeves and yarno

That looks lyke a 2.8TD that someone have played around with and shifted stuff. Are those UK motors just a differant bore size??

Its almost identical to my engine bay. Only real differance I can see is that the aircon pipes and brake booster are on the oppisite side as per a LHD would be.

What I would ask though is, A where is the fan? (electric?) and where are the cold start and EGR sensors in the thermo housing?? The rest of the EGR is there.

That silver/white plate on the firewall isnt the ID plate is it??? That would tell you what you have.

It looks the same as a 4JB1, so if it's 2.5 it must be the 4JA1, and judging buy some spares like the head here
http://www.made-in-china.com/showroom/x ... lete-.html
it is the same except for the stroke.
Water pump looks the same.
Here you go ebay...

Thanks a heap Yarno,you've made this yank very happy,I've been trying for months to find the spares for my engine,I want to head out west with my camper in tow but was worried if the water pump went I'd be stuck,my motor only has 60,000 miles on it but you never know.my hats off to Australia and the people who live there,thanks again,if you ever need anything from here in the states just let me know,Wayne, wbski@yahoo.com

by **wbski007** » Mon Sep 28, 2009 11:47 pm

Thanks again and cheers

The water pumps in the 4J** series are very good, you rarely hear of them dying.

Cheers Wayne, having a contact in the states for parts could be helpful.

Have a look on ebay orhte likes for a vaxhaul or opel fronterra manual, this is what i have for my mu, the motors the same, just most of the stuff (air con etc) is on the opposite side, probably just like yours.

by **wbski007** » Tue Sep 29, 2009 11:53 am

thanks Mulover,you ausies are the best,I have alot of info to work with, now I can order my water pump and timing belt from over there ,thanks again,Wayne

by **mulover** » Tue Sep 29, 2009 12:41 pm

no worries, i'm really a kiwi but i won't take offience this time!!

by **turnturn** » Tue Sep 29, 2009 1:36 pm

Just on a side note to what Mulover was saying above about the Frontera Manual.
One problem that I have noticed with this manual is that the wiring diagrams are wrong.
I have the same book as Mulover mentions and most of the wiring colour codes are different.
It still gives you a basic idea of how things work though.
