Looks like i'm in the sh1t

Info needed , replaced the leakoff pipe and had all four leaking ......Now it appears that all of the injectors have come unscrewed slightly (where the washer is) and there appears to be a ceramic washer that has split on all of them and fallen apart on one of them.......


How much shit am i in and can i wade out??

Wouldnt a nice soft metal (copper) washer replacement do the trick, plumbers type, and just replace them again, or have i not understood the gravity of the situation?

They have to be split to do so .....i have never been in this position before , have no Manuals that cover the subject to this extent and if its a specialist job No cash.

Fibre washers would be better.

Woodzie, how come your injectors don't look like these?.......

ian i did mine a while back, i unscrewed them and clean them out(making sure not to touch the insides with your fingers). as far as the washers go i did not replace them as when you tighten them up it leaves the same gap. i have had no probs with the washers not being in there. so in my opion you will be fine

I'll give it ago tomorrow after work

You should not dismantle injectors yourself . If I remember back to my college days the washers you mention may be slightly different thicknesses to adjust the spray off pressure of the injector . Each one is set up on a test pressure machine which shows the pressure the injector 'fires' at . Incorrect fire of the injector will affect spray pattern and timing (slightly) and fuel quantity .
I maybe wrong , but not often .

You should not dismantle injectors yourself n agree as Rick says they are a specialist Job (unless ya got some Diesel injection experience)

There's always a Payback .... Ya just never see it Comin !!!!
