If you’ve got a Ford Transit van, Transit Connect or even the Ford Tourneo Connect van from 2000 – 2006 then it may well be fitted with the Bosch VP44 Diesel Pump, which I’m afraid to say is a very common failing part. We see several of these units being sent in to us each week for repair, so if your Ford Diesel Pump has developed then you’ve come to the right place.
This particular diesel pump is designed with the Electronic Control Module, namely the Electronic Diesel Control (EDC) unit mounted to the top of the diesel pump with wires fixed into the unit, making it difficult to separate. A majority of the time it is the EDC unit which fails on these diesel pumps and not the mechanical components themselves.
The Bosch EDC module has been manufactured using Hybrid technology and is extremely delicate. Just opening the unit without experience can cause damage and some of the main components are very susceptible to shock and vibration.
Common Ford Transit / Tourneo Van Problems + Symptoms
Faults relating to the diesel pump EDC failure on Ford Transit and Tourneo vans can vary quite a bit depending on how the unit has failed. You could have just a slight misfire caused by a faulty diesel pump or a complete non-starter. Below we’ve listed the most common faults we’ve found with the
Bosch VP44 Diesel Pump EDC module.
Replacement diesel pumps are very expensive and a dealer will quote you in excess of £900 for a new replacement unit which would require additional programming and come with 12 months warranty. Some workshops may recommend cheaper alternatives such as second-hand used parts but it would still require coding and come with a limited 30-90 day warranty. Also there’s really no guarantee how long it would last being a second-hand part as it may have come from a high-mileage vehicle or not well maintained.
We see several of these units each week and we’re able to fully bench test + repair the EDC unit. We use new genuine OEM components when carrying out repairs to the Bosch Diesel Pump Control Module to ensure each and every rebuild EDC meets & exceeds OE specifications. All of our repaired EDC units come with a Lifetime warranty and we guarantee it will not require recoding / programming when fitting it back to the vehicle.
Below we have put together an extensive Vehicle Application List showing you all the vehicles we’ve found fitted with the Bosch VP44 Diesel Pump along with the most common found part numbers. This is not a complete list so don’t worry if your unit is not listed. Removal of the Diesel Pump EDC can be very involved and must be performed by a competent mechanic. We do offer a professional removal + fitting service if required.
