Injector Removal

[tooter]

Hi I've been told by a local mechanic that my injector seal is broken ( makes a strange chuffing sound) but he also said there is a 50/50 chance that the injector will be siezsed and will require pulling that might break it requiring a new one that wil be expensive is he just preparing me for the worst or is it likely the case. P.s apart from me chuffing there is no adverse affect of the prob I.e no Loss of power starts first time every time. Any input would be great thanks.

Hi tooter,

 

I had this with my 1.4HDi after 80K miles. Citroen main dealer did the work (diagnosed 2 needed doing) and they warned me of the possibility that an injector may break when removed. None did and in the end they did all 4 as a job lot. They recut the injector seats prior to refitting. Sorry I can't for the life of me how much it cost as it was 4yr ago and all the bills/invoices went with the car when I sold it 3yr ago.

 

Hope this helps.
