Hello

the injectors on my diesel 2.0 have been replaced. Lots of problems, citroen dealer said injectors needed replacing but after 3 weeks trying had not got them out.

Luckily all the work was being done under warranty, so cost was not important just time.

I got the car back, would you believe it, it had same problem i had taken it to the garage with.

It would not run smoothly, revs would race on their own, lots of black smoke etc, always stalled when reversing.

Eventually garage ( a citroen garage ) said the MAF ( air flow meter ) needed replacing, it's about £30, fitted new one and the car runs normally, seems to me like they misdiagnosed the problem, but they say they did not.

Anyway my question is when the garage replaced the injectors would they have had to remap the ecu.

I ask because the car runs better now than it ever has and i have had it 2.5 years now.

i asked at the dealers but they would not say, would not give me any paperwork relating to the work they had done, they said since citroen were paying for the work and not me i was not entitled to details, invoices etc.

So is it necessary to remap the ecu when replacing the injectors and MAF.

I think the programming for the injectors is not really a remap but telling the ecu the code that is marked on each injector.

 

Not giving any paperwork for warranty work seems to be normal. On the few occasions I have had warranty work there were no receipts and the old parts were returned to Citroen - only if an extra was needed and you authorised it, was a receipt given for that, such as a worn mounting. The new parts also do not extend the warranty period - so if a new bit was fitted a week before the warranty expired, the new bit would only have a one week warranty.
