It is very nice to see someone who takes pride in their work and what they do, this isn’t around as much as it should be. And explaining every step in great detail. Brilliant Dave 👍👍

thank you for this incredibly detailed video, Dave! This has given me the confidence to try and sort this out myself. I've had a 2011 Ford Fiesta econetic since new, and this exact same injector is just starting to show evidence of carbon. I know a lot of people like to trash these engines, but mine has over 150,000 miles on it and until now has never had a single issue until now. All just regular maintenance and wear and tear items. Hands down the most reliable car I've ever owned, and that includes my Volvo 240. An old diesel mechanic told me when the car was new to just cut the service intervals in half, so the oil/filter gets done every 6 months or around 5000 miles. Seems like it's worked!

Great video - very informative & more detail than we usually see on repairs such as this. Thanks very much for sharing.

Very comprehensive explanation and repair there Dave Some good tips and procedures in there thank you.

Great video Dave. Loved your explanation and the attention to detail. Just did this on our 2009 Volvo C30 1.6D. Couldn't have done it properly without you.

Dave, another excellent video as usual. I do most of my families car repairs, servicing, broken springs etc, but what you did in this video is demonstrate that are least 6 ways of getting this job wrong! This is one job I would leave to experts like yourself, with the necessary tools and a wealth of experience. Keep the videos coming, I always look forward to them!

methodically brilliant Dave , and well explained, and demonstrated ,....a go to guide for me if I ever would need to do that on my diesel zafira 👍

Very good video and a high level of work standard. Very detailed video and shows the correct way it should be done . You have another subscriber 👍

Great video.. clear and easy to follow, will definately watch other videos by this man.. big thumbs up👍

Muy buen vídeo, caballero. Y muy bien hecho todo, con el cuidado que hay que tener al hacer las cosas. Hats off to you. Saludos desde España.

Very clear with good practice everywhere. A proper job.

Very impressive work you have done

Good job Dave, well explained and easy to understand video, I enjoyed it and I love your sense of humor too. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, tips and tricks plus video upload. 👍

That was a master class on how to change the seals, well done. 👍

Great fix and explanation of the process involved.

Awesome video. I do most of my own car work but your video makes me glad I decided to pay someone to do that job for me.

Great video, just noticed a mountain of tar on injector 3 on the mrs C30 you have given me the confidence to tackle it, love the workmanship and effort gone into this video. Have subscribed 👊👊

Best demonstration I’ve seen

that was a good one, i have had them with 3 leaking for ages and like you said it can be over the bolts good video Dave.

Thanks Dave, very thorough explanation with clear guide... helped me get my injector from my volvo c30 repaired

Thanks heaps for this. My Econetic is doing exactly this on #4. Once the kit arrives from the UK, I know what I’ll be doing :-)

Great video - many thanks. Just followed this for my 2009 Volvo V50 1.6 diesel. Getting my local Volvo dealer to load Injector Confirmation software, then code the new injectors.

A very well documented video. Thanks

Great video. Just done mine. Paint thinners works good on the tar.

Hi dave done one of these today I used one shot Kent spray to loosen up the carbon its the best I've ever used to break it down great video aswell 👍

I’m late to your party however….brilliant! Very, very thorough (especially as I currently possess this engine on my grand CMax) 👍🏻

Brilliant tutorial. Got the injector out with lots of penetrating oil and slim jawed waterpump pliers. Made a puller for the copper washer by welding a screw extractor/'easy out' to a long bar and the washer twisted out ok. Possibly a large wood screw welded the same could work

Excellent video, very clear & concise 👍🏼👍🏼

Very informative, I am impressed and I know others will recognise your high standards in your profession. The video was superb and I also liked how you gave great tips towards the end. Thank you very much.

Hello from France. Good job,your tutorial is perfect 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.

Thank you for your clear explanation . It worked for me to get the job done! 😃

Thank you so much for showing how to clean a fuel injector for a ford tdci engine ... helped me a lot with my car and the injector problem and saved me 300 pound on new injectors

Quality work Dave with an explanation to boot 👍🏻

Very good, professional guide. Thank you!!!

Great vid helped me out loads cheers best vid I've seen by far

Best video on the subject on utube, very professional.

Great video,well explained, and greats tips thank you

Brilliant video !, I enjoyed that and very informative.

fantastic video thank you very much you explain it very well cheers Martin

Excellent work 👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks so much...Best video on this I have seen on KZfaq

Managed to get my leaking injector washer replaced today after watching this vid a couple of times, some great tips here, many thanks. thinners worked great to dissolve the black stuff after chipping of the worst of it. well explained, thank you for taking the time to make this vid mate!

Like the special bolt tool Dave, carb cleaner certainly melts the clinker, sometimes its like bakelite, did same job on a mini diesel , absolutely covered in it , kept spraying it , andxscraping it over a couple of days , but it came out eventually, recut the seat and edge of injector seats, nice and quiet , great video as usual , had the 2nd jab today , stay safe 👍👍

Wiggle wiggle wiggle and EGR plus WD is the answer. Just took mine out for a new seal kit to go in.

Good video dave,I changed all the injector seals on my 2006 audi a4 b7 3.0 tdi,copper and rubber ones,everything went great but when I put the leak off pipe back on I snapped one side of the little push down clamp and had to buy a whole new pipe, I thought buying an eBay one would have done the job but it's been leaking diesel ever since, leaking from the crush clamps on the new leak off pipe. not a fast leak,like a few drips every 10 mins but the smells starting to drive me crazy now. Gonna bite the bullet and buy the proper bosch one before mot.

Hola Dave te felicito e visto muchos videos de este tipo pero como el tuyo ninguno muchosimas gracias creo que la linpieza y el tapar los injectores es primordial lo que en muchos videos no se ve sige asi me encantas si los mecanicos fueran como tu tendriamos los coches sienpre nuevos. De nuevo muchas gracias

Thanks, that was great. Don't have the right equipment so I'll head to a mechanic; I only hope that I find one half as diligent as yourself.

I just bought a 1.6 hdi and the third from the left is barely visible, black death! I need to find someone as handy as yourself up the North coast of NI that does as thorough a job as you, subscribed!!

Did not even watch it yet, but I know it's gonna be good 😎

A great job and very well explained we need more like you in Ireland thank you Dave

Great video, really interesting and detailed look at this issue. I hear there's another common fault with this engine which is an oil leak to the turbo feed, seems a few issues with this engine 👍

That leaking tar makes a real mess, great job on cleaning it up. The spanner work well getting the snap ring slid down the injector. Cheers Matt

Thank you this video.

Brilliant video that, thanks 👍

great video dave, very informative.

Excellent video

great and useful. Thank you man!

great video very informative "there's no way no way you came from my loins" 😉👍

I won’t be letting wife watch this. One minute of listening to your accent and I risk loosing her ;)

Very useful clip,thx.

Thanks for ur help I've had this problem with 1.6 tdci fiesta and garage men made me buy new injector and now still leaking as it's the seals :)

Some interesting stuff there Dave.👍

Video tutorial bagus,nambah wawasan d otomotif bosku👍

Some job Dave, cheers

This is the best description of how to do and don`t ways to aprouch the job in hand, with clear close up with the camera, and great tips , You certainly are mindful to the viewers that they see what you see and this is how it should be illustrated, Thank you for taking up your time to show this work , Question what is the tool used for pollishing the cylinder

Thanks I learnt something from you

sei un grande fantastico complimenti.

Good job 👍

I actually found this quite interesting but i don't have any mechanical experience or tools to do the job.if i did,i think I'd be tempted to give this a go,off the back of your video 👍

Hi scotish from .I like good explicación the best from Spain ,that PSA motor thank you

Grande forte sei Dave!!!😄

Good video i had the same issue and tightening the bolts seems to have sorted it out at least temporarily this video may be valuable if the problem returns.

Great video Dave. 3 questions: what size was the “wiggle”bolt you used to remove the injectors pls? Looks possibly M12? What was the tool that you used to polish the injector seat (I get that you used a seat cutting set for doing the gentle seat cutting) and what was the pin that you used to block the injector hole into the cylinder while you cleaned the debris out with an air duster?

Nice video. I have the same issue. been looking for a bolt. it seems it 1mm pitch x12mm dia.

Can you tell what size is that bolt tool is please, excellent video.

Hello, I am very happy with your work, but he has a question. How do you limp if the car can't start? Thank you

i had a oil leak problem, it ended up comming from the injector studs. Replace those and put some liquid gasket on the flat side of the stud.

Thanks

Amazing video Dave. I completed this job today but now my car will not start. It started for a second and then cut out, now it just cranks with no joy. Any ideas? Could I have air in the system?

This is how I imagine, if some mechanic will clean my injectors. Job in 120%❤

Hi Dave, I have exactly this issue with this same model car and engine. How much would I be looking at to get it fixed and are there any dangers to leaving it?

I have exactly the same issue! So Dave, did the high pressure lines come off easy? Thinking a bottle brush might help cleaning the bore. Great video!

Great video Dave, thank you! My left-most injector seal is leaking for the 3rd time in as many years... is this down to driving habit or due to it not being done properly the past 2 times?

Do not forget to clean the turbo banjo bolt filter, the black gunge.It will block it and bugger the turbo bearing

Amazing

To clean the shaft out, would a gun barrel cleaning rod for a shotgun work?

What grease or lubricant did you use to catch the cuttings? Will Molybdenum grease do the job?

Hey Dave. How about you make a ring shape that fits over your swivel bar. Then have your slide hammer threaded into the ring to help you thump upwards at the same time. Great vid BTW 😀👍

Great video, great content..It might just help me..👍💯

Dobra robota!!

dave sterl what size bolt did you use to to remove the injector please

Can a leaky injector cause an underboost problem I’ve already had the egr value changed and it still has an underboost

could i get it done without getting the rocker cover off?

Great upload, man. One question : my DV6TED4 HZ will not give fuel into the high pressure part of the fuel system: changed some parts, so it stood without fuel for some time : have you ever changed the pressure switch on the end of the commom rail? Thanks:)

Hey, loved your video, followed every stepped and i got rid of "chuffin", could swear that engine is not as loud as before too, but I have new issue, on injector 3 and 4 i have slight diesel leak, have I screwed up something ? :D

I replaced my injector seals on a 1.6hdi yesterday but i'm now doubting myself that they were covered in oil and not diesel. The car had no symptoms but I'm sure when I 1st saw the fluid it was clear

can the rocket cover gasket being bad also cause this leakage ?

Hi There. Is the engine in the video an 8 valve diesel Duratorq engine. My 2013 Ford Fiesta 16l diesel is a Duratorq motor. The egine started making a noise after on of the injectors started over fuelling. Mechanic found that one of the cam journals had scored the cam shaft and recommends that I replace the engine. The pistons are a bit loose in the sleeves but no scoring or ridges. any recommedations

Best video ever You must be mechanic teacher
