Hi Mark having problems with my van it's a 2006 1.9 traffic dci 100 SL27 Just wondering if you have any info on air getting into the fuel filter, I've had the van 9 years and it's never had the fuel filter primer bulb and fuel hose from tank replaced, is this a litelly place air could be getting in on the primer bulb fuel line think there are rubber (O) rings on the connection points, are these litelly to perish over time and let air in. My vans a bugger to start lately and I noticed air bubbles in the clear fuel line from filter. Once I got van started with a blast of Easy start van drives perfectly for miles no problems at all, then when I switch engine off and return to start it's a bugger to fire up again mainly the next morning . And of your expertise and knowledge would be appreciated as it's driving me mad. Been following you for months love your vids. Thanks Vaun Add me on Whatsapp if possible 07783403537

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.

I drilled out 12 head studs/bolts, they sheared while trying to undo. They were imperial size similar to m12 bolts. I think i went up the 6mm drill bit. I then dropped a 1.2 welding rod in to the hole which I drilled. I connect the welder and had someone switch the welder on and off when needed. You see, I had to start welding from the bottom of the bolt to the top. This then shrunk the bolt. Welding lines in a sleeve will shrink it enough. I have removed bearing races the same way(internal type)

Because The Universe is a right ****, we got a head in today where the gasket had failed a few years ago & the rear 2 injectors had been left to rust in solid - and I mean solid. I was thinking of my smart-alec comments to you, Mark, oh yessir I was. "We never use pullers..blah blah" - well Karma decided to teach me a fast lesson on opening yer gob about stuff.... :-) :-) ... sort those, smorty clogs.... For those who care - and those that don't - I got them out undamaged, but oh yes I did use a pullers..yessiree. Approach that worked was: Drench them in kerosene & go for tea. Tap them around sideways, which didn't produce any movement.. nada.. grabbed a big adjustable, put it onto the hold-down flats & cranked on them hard as I could, clockwise, so they wouldn't just unscrew - that produced a tiny bit of movement, drenched them in kero again. Repeated the clockwise twisting.. got again a tiny bit of movement. Got a small hammer & gave them a firm tappy-tap tap from all sides - just enough to shock them, not to do damage. Got a U shackle, put that around the injector under the hold-down bulges, to apply pressure without doing harm. Attached 2 chains to the shackle, up over a thick steel angle section - rigged so a 10 ton jack could apply pressure. That promptly broke the chain without anything moving.. soaked it in kero again & went off to find heavier chain.. Found heavier chain, used that & they came out undamaged, but like a bomb going off when they let loose... meh, outs out... Made a mental note to apologise to Mr Mark Smith, to never, ever again make smorty clog remarks on YT - because the bloomin Universe listens & will go "Ohhh, so you think you're clever do you Pal?? Here... here's a problem for ya..." Upside - undamaged, extracted injectors,sent off to be refurbed.. But gnarly puller used.. havn't needed one in years...

I'm confused? I like the brute force thing, but where's the penetrative oil? The heating and cooling? Why not try putting less force, adding a release solution, and leaving under moderate pressure for a while? And if you've already committed to destroying the injectors, what's stopping you removing the head completely to access the injectors from both ends? I'm proficient, but no expert in moron engines, and I've never worked on these particular engines, so it's always great to learn from others 👍
@tinker-time21 күн бұрын
These 2.0 engine in these van are a nightmare, the head is alloy so if I heat it up and cool it I'll warp it, ( bend it) taking the head off is the resort, then it would have to go to a machine shop to have removed, you can only see the tip sticking off from bottom if I pushed on that it would just go straight into the injectior and not move it, there also a chance I could slip and damage face of the head or the vavles 👍

Fair play mate, that's about as good a method I can think of, and it still wouldn't fully defeat it, maybe now that another 4 inches of injector are out the way, a good penetrative fluid might have more chance? Drill it as far as you dare, tap it for the next ( imperial? I know your already close to the limit) size, and try again. Other than that, maybe a long series carbide in a die grinder and carefully carve the remnants out? In fairness, the investment in tooling and time probably outweighs the cost of pulling the head and having a machine shop mill them out. 😢

I dunno how many heads I work on every month - a lot - today was a Navaras - this ^ started as a disaster & continues to be a disaster. :-) The whole "stuck injector" thing kinda baffles me. I get stuck turbo/exhaust manifold bolts, I understand people being hung up by those - personally they don't bother me as we've the gear to beat them - but I don't "get" the "stuck injectors" thing. Never used a puller of any sort - not even once, not even on the black-deathiest injector going that would seem stuck solid. You bang 'em aroundyways, with a heavy drift & a big hammer. Then bang 'em aroundyways the other way - until they come loose. It's physics/chemistry. If they whinge & resist, chuck some kerosene onto them & sod off for a cuppa - then bang them aroundyways again. If they only move 0.5mm around, that shatters the bond. I did try tell ya before. :-)

Give your viewers a practical example - ball joints. Amateur mechanics will get a "ball joint puller" & crank it up to mental torque before the ball joint finally explodes free - or doesn't. Professional mechanics wouldn't be ar5et - they'd smack the control arm a couple of times with a big hammer & out pops the "most stuck" ball joint going - zero effort. You could pull some for a week & they'd not move - couple bangs of a hammer & they pop out themselves. Exact same applies to injectors. Same physics. The second you reach for a "puller", you're in trouble & are going to do harm. Hammer, not puller. Sideways, not up & down - you can hammer on a ball joint for an hour - it won't move & you will destroy it. Hit the side of the control arm twice & out it pops undamaged - why? Physics.

Renault hydraulic puller would have took these out. If it doesn't then pretty much nothing will. Apply some heat as well as the heads are alloy and will expand more than the steel injector. The injector heads are now butchered so getting the rest of them out now is a head off job and take to a machining shop or scrap the head and source another. If you can get the camshaft carrier off then you can remove the head.
