Are injectors a DIY job ?

I'm pretty sure I need at least one injector. Symptoms are - slight missfire, smell of diesel, juddering when slow speed maneuvering.

I had this about a month ago, put some injector cleaner in and it cured it, but now it's back Big Cry

I'm assuming I will be able to determine which injector it is with a leak off test. Is it just a matter of unbolting the old one, and bolting the new one in ? Whistle

Anyone know a source of reasonably priced injectors?

Is it possible the injector could also cause the 'tappety' noise I've been getting?

Thanks Thumbs Up

Depends, if they come out easy then yes, but they can get seized in on the bmw diesel engine and they then require some pretty serious work to get out.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK8MqxEeMJY There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Johnte.

I think I have just the same problem.

What faults showed up when you read the fault codes?

How much are you looking at to recondition?

I can't remember exactly how it was worded, but something similar to "Engine stability control"

They're away at the moment getting tested at £15 and if they need to be reconditioned I've been quoted £95.

Hope this helps Thumbs Up
