Title: How to change diesel injector
Post by: alistair on 18 May 2008, 17:35:58
I stupidly snapped off one of the small metal outlets for the spill pipe on one of my injectors.  Firstly how easy is it gonna be to change and secondly does anyone have one they'd like to sell me?

Many thanks

Alistair

Easy enough, need a bit 27mm socket.  Or if its the injector with the needle sensor, you need a special injector socket.  Oh, and a rather great long bar, as it will be pretty tight!

Its number 1 or number 6, whichever is the one at the rear of the engine.

Is there much fuel pressure that goes through the spill pipes?

Its the one thats blanked off which has snapped so i wonder if i can block the hole using some chemical metal?

Low enough to stop the pipes blowing off in use.  Try chemical metal and see what happens.

I have a set of 6 injectors which have been checked by Bosch Agent in Newbury
They were used & not cheap to obtain
PM me if of interest
