Replacing diesel injectors

Markcann · 10th July 2015, 16:10

Hey guys I'm replacing my injectors next week as I've been having problems for a while now

Is there any tips for doing this I've replaced number one before but this time I'm just gonna do all four

I've got 4 brand new ones from Xpart being sent to me

Is there any tips for seating them and removing etc etc

Regards mark

Change the sealing washers too - there's a diesel specialist on eBay who sells them, and they worked OK for me.
Another tip is to soak the injectors you're attempting to remove in penetrating oil / Coca Cola for a few days previous, as they can be a *** to remove.

Later cars had O Rings on the injectors that solved the difficult-to-remove issue somewhat. I could only remove one from a Y-reg CDT I was breaking, yet all 4 popped out of my 53-reg ZTT without issue.

Brilliant when I removed number 1 injector that was easy to remove I have the sealing washers so I should be good to go

Thanks mark
