Common Injector Related Issues

Injector failure

Injector failure on this engine is normally down to wear and tear or miss / contaminated fueling as being solenoid injectors they are very reliable, this engine suffers from confusion over injector numbering and counts backwards no 1 being gearbox end.

Injector Seizure

Injector seizure is very common on this engine the worst offender usually being number 4 injector (timing belt end) which regularly takes over 10 tons of force, the others can take similar amounts but are usually easier to remove with exceptions. injectors can break up during removal leaving the end of the injector jammed in the head and requiring milling out.

Injector clamp bolts

The clamp bolts do not normally cause any problems on this engine but there is always the exception to this, where the bolt will come loose undo a few turns then tighten up and snap off.

Fuel Leaks

This engine is not known for fuel leaks being an injector related issue.

Turbo Pipe 

It is common for us to come across damaged turbo pipes when we are asked to remove / refit them as part of the injector work, it is usually caused by attempts at removal by those who do not understand how the retaining clip releases, whilst a temporary repair can be done the only cure is a new pipe (£170 at the time of writing this) We also come across many missing clips and bolts , dropped during stripping down the engine, We carry an extensive collection to combat this including the correct turbo pipe clip. Due to the cost we don't usually stock the turbo pipe itself.

Wiring issues

The wiring to the injector can be damaged at the plug or rubbing through due to a loose air filter housing we carry replacement plugs to repair the harness when required.
