In this video, we go through how to diagnose and replace a faulty fuel injector on a Volvo XC60 D5 with what I believe to be a Euro 4 engine - somebody please correct me in the comments if that’s wrong.
I’ve never done any mechanical work to this depth before, so I’ve sought some assistance from a friend of mine called Kayne (the owner of the V8 Defender project - kzfaq.info/sun/PLo.... We show you a couple of different methods of diagnosing a bad injector and then go about replacing them. As promised, here is a link to the video I found useful about how to make a leak past tester - • How To Test Diesel Inj...

The insulation on the wires of the injector do brake after a time causing problems. Check those also. I have changed 4 wire harnasses on my d5. I also have two genuine volvo injectors for sale for the euro4 185 horse power.

I did inspect the wiring, hoping the problem was caused by a broken wire. I’m an electrical engineer, that would be a simple fix... but just my good luck, the wiring was fine and it ended up a mechanical problem with the injector.

Some good diagnosing skills there. Is it not better to replace all of the injectors at the same time for a matching set? Is it worth trying some injector for the other injectors?

@DABDIY 3 жыл бұрын

The injectors don’t come as a matching set, so you only really need to replace them as they go wrong. Besides, if I were to replace for brand new ones, at £100 per injector, I’ll only be doing the faulty ones 🤣

I did, I use injector cleaner regularly in the hope of preventing an issue like this. Sometime with this car, if I didn’t have bad luck, I’d have no luck at all 🤣

Hi, question please, did you prime the diesel lines? I have heard, that if the motor doesn't start, the diesel lines have to be primed. After I changed the valve cover gasket, the motor doesn't start anymore.

@DABDIY 8 ай бұрын

I have heard the same thing, but I found that I didn’t need to prime the system. I admit that what I did wasn’t exactly to the letter of the manual, but I used the starter motor to spin the motor over, which engaged the fuel pump which pushed fuel into the system and it started fine.

Nice job! Have tou checked your swirl rod and see if it is still in its place? You need a proper diagnostic tool! Also you could have put in a little bit of copper grease on those injectors body to prevent any further rust.

@DABDIY 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment! I haven’t checked the swirl rod yet, this was specifically an injector issue that needed addressing. Swirl rod check and EGR delete are on the cards at some point though. I know I need a Vida diagnostic tool, but they’re awfully spendy and for the frequency that I’d use it, I can’t justify that expense. I know a local Volvo specialist who looks after me with things that I can’t manage myself. They were coated in copper grease at first, but they came back out so many times, it rubbed off lol 😆 They did come out one more time off camera and get greased up again.

I’m not entirely certain to be honest. If I remember correctly, it’s an entire harness, which I should imagine is a dealer or breaker part.

P.s. good diagnosis. Most injectors have codes on the top of them to “code them in” with. It’s not coding them in as such like a control module, they’re just calibration codes for the ecu to use as a baseline, as no two injectors can be made exact the same. They’ll often work fine without coding, but will usually work better when codes. That reminds me, I’ve still not coded 2 of mine in on my bmw after replacing them about a year ago 🤣

I hadn’t even thought about the foot tapping, well spotted 🤣 I didn’t know about the code. I’ll definitely look into that a bit more!

@@DABDIY it will often be next to a little QR code, 6 or 7 digits. Probably 7 on that I’d have thought. You need diag to put them in. Some cars pretty much won’t run at all if they’re wrong, or need to do calibration runs at certain speeds for certain distances etc to calibrate them, but in my experience most will run fine without them but need them inputting to make them run perfect.
