German term

Pumpe-Düse-Motor

German to English Tech/Engineering diesel engines
This is a type of VW diesel engine. Abbreviated to PD in model names. I've found various instances of 'Pumpe-Düse' being used in English, for example:

http://www.parkers.co.uk/choosing/news/news.asp?doc_id=1331

http://motoring.ivillage.co.uk/research/NewsArchive/resNews3...

Is this acceptable? Is it understandable (feels like a bit of a copout to me!) but none of the glosses or translations offered seem to have any currency ...

Ideas?

Much obliged ...

Mary
