G'day all, just had my first tappet adjust and manifold clean done here in Brissy.
As always a great experience from the guys at Motorcare Albion, Ron told me they don't really start looking at tappets until around the 90k mark and mine had 95k on the clock so I wasn't sure what to expect but in the end there were only 2 in need of very minor adjustment - peace of mind though.
Same goes for the intake manifold, not much gunk to speak of which is surprising after almost 100k but again peace of mind.
Seems almost standard procedure on these motors that the egr is blocked and a small hole drilled in the throttle body butterfly as a way of eliminating all the issues associated with pumping diesel exhaust back through the engine, Ron did that too as part of the job.
I wanted to let local Brisbane Pajero owners with the same service due that the guys at Motorcare did a great job for me as always (they serviced/repaired my previous NM V6 for years).
While having the timing chain recall service done at MM a few mths ago I was chatting to the service manager and he mentioned the tappet adjust etc to me, quoting $690 for the adjustment alone and a further $300 charge for cleaning out the manifold. Motorcare did the entire job for me in just over 3 hours including the egr block for $500.
They specialize in Pajeros and I who have massive trust issues when it comes to mechanical work have found them to be professional and honest with their work and pricing over the years - they've come up trumps again with this service on my new NT diesel Paj too - I highly recommend these guys to anyone wanting quality workmanship, honest advice and a great price
