theres a guy around here (central scotland) charges £250 per injector removal, and ill throw money at him before i ever get involved in one of these nightmares. good on you, your a bigger man than me.

@tinker-time Ай бұрын

@denisohbrien I was running out of options, on these just welded in with rust, dreading doing the other 3 lol Not bad 250, if it just one needs sorting

@threepotMR2 Ай бұрын

Yes!! Bingo! Well done. The force required to overcome the friction induced by the growth of the injector down the bore of the head is insane. I've diagnosed a few of these vans as needing an injector swapping but have totally avoided getting involved in taking them out for this very reason. You didn't quit or give up, what a guy!

Persistence always pays. Good man, yourself. I've been enjoying watching your videos. My renault trafic van, no.4 injector seized up a while back. A set of new injectors and having them pulled set me back £1100 🙄. This was 6 months after having an engine fitted. A stretched timing chain can be costly...

Why did your timing chain stretch, did you change your engine oil and filter every 5000 miles or did you go for a lot longer and do you use genuine fuel filters

reminds me of a Dephi injector that refused to come out and eventually left the injector nozzle body behind,welded in by burnt diesel that glued in in tight.Took me 4 months to get it all out.Was quoted $5k to remove head and machine it out. All initiated by a crack in the injector that was releasing fuel pressure.
