Thanks! What a great video! I'm in the same situation myself right now with my Volvo S40 D2 (same engine as yours-D4162T). Injector 3 got a short circuit (error code - P1263-cylinder 3 high to low side short) and now I'm about to replace all four of them. I've already purchase four new PSA injectors since the original ones are ridiculously high priced. I'm a bit worried if the ECU will accept those injector's codes, as I haven't found any reference regarding PSA injectors on a Volvo's ECU yet.

That's an interesting question. Those codes are actually the offset values for the ECU (flow rate). So my guess is that the ECU will accept them.

Thanks! I'm wondering if you had any similar issues?

@@patchnplay I had injector max value issues. Then I’ve changed all my injectors with original and brand new. All the vibrations and other knocking sounds gone. But still O face problem with my driving, the engine vibrates on second and above gears, and only at 1700-2000 rpm’s while accelerating. Only vibrates when the engine hot. When it cold, it’s very smooth. I suspect turbo selenoid but I am nor sure. Car has no any error code. Btw, I suggest you to use new generation injectors. Siemens revised the injector model on 2014. New injectors are 8680 (last four digits of model code) cars come with 3080 which is more sensitive than 8680.

The dead injector was probably the root cause of your DPF problem, if the engine kept sooting up and the ECU kept trying to regenerate the filter, it means the filter would overheat and crack or melt.

That's indeed a real possibility

How did you remove the injector's lower rubber cover to gain access to the torx bolts underneath?

@patchnplay 28 күн бұрын

With a bit of fiddling you can get it out. my cover was already ripped thanks to the butchers at the dealership that replaced injector 3 a few years back...

18 or 80 euro to program the injectors? And you are running both vdash as well as vida software? I thought the latter is proprietairy to Volvo dealers only?

@patchnplay 2 ай бұрын

It think it was 10 euro for the subscription, and an additional 15 euro to buy 24h of injector programming... Yeah well, propietary... you can find both VIDA2014 or a VM with everything preinstalled on the internet. VIDA is now a SaaS product so the later versions are indeed Volvo-dealer only (or you have to pay a lot). At least my Volvo dealer was like "if you have VIDA yourself you can blabla..." So it seems quite common for hobbyists to have a copy of VIDA and a cheap interface. If I'm not mistaken VDash can do most things too but apart from programming the injectors I didn't use it a lot yet.
