We are getting ready to sell my daughters 2004 Disco. It has served her well and gotten her through high school and college and never left her stranded.....pretty incredible if you think about it. Seven years of service with nothing major other than scheduled maintenance. But now she has graduated and has a job that will require commuting...the Disco just doesn't make sense when she needs something that gets 30 plus mpg.
Last week a check engine light came on and we found that the Secondary Air Pump hose has melted a hole in it. Apparently this is caused by a Diverter valve that has failed or is not functioning due to vacuum leaks, etc....hot exhaust gases go the wrong way and melt the plastic portion of the hose. Has anybody ever replaced the Secondary Air Pump hose on a Disco II? I'm trying to figure out what this entails and the labor costs to do this. The Diverter valve may also need to be replaced if it has failed. I took a quick look at the hose routing but can't tell where it connects on the firewall side of the truck.
Any input or experience with this repair would be appreciated.
