Diesel Injectors

How to find the right injector or pump for my vehicle

It is essential that you choose the right injector or pump when replacing your faulty parts, not only might it physically not fit – but if you start the engine with the wrong part installed, you could cause catastrophic and irreversible damage to the engine. We have a fit guide which can help you narrow down your search to finding the perfect replacement part, however we would always advise that if you are unsure, check your existing fault injector/ pump for a part number and compare it to the list of exchange part numbers on the replacement unit. 


We have created a fit guide for all pumps and injectors we sell which includes units that are brand new, units that have been remanufactured by the original supplier and units that have been remanufactured in house by us at either our Manchester or Stoke-on-Trent workshops.


Follow these steps to narrow down which parts will fit your car, you may not need to take all the steps to find a single unit for your car, or you may have several to choose from:

  1. Find your vehicle’s manufacturer from our list.
  2. Find your vehicle model from the options.
  3. Look at the products available to see if you can find your engine code.
  4. Look at the description of the products available, do the bhp, cylinders and year range match your vehicle.
  5. Compare your old unit’s part number to the list of exchange and alternate part numbers to find the right one for you.
  6. Contact us for help finding the right part.

 

DFi1.5 Common Rail Injector Bleeding Procedure.

 Some DFi1.5 injectors have been reported to suffer from sticking of the injector control valve upon vehicle fitment. This is due to continuous control valve movement before diesel has sufficiently lubricated the moving surfaces. In the absence of a HP bleed routine using a diagnostic tool then to improve component lubrication during injector bleeding, the below procedure should be followed to prevent control valve seizure.

 The recommended bleeding procedure is as follows:-

 Fit injectors to vehicle, observing all cleanliness and torque setting requirements.

  1. Fit new HP pipes and torque as per the vehicle specification.
  2. Leaving all injector electrical plugs disconnected crank engine for 7-10 seconds.
  3. Wait for 10 seconds (preventing over heating of components).
  4. Crank engine for a further 7-10 seconds.
  5. Connect injector drive cables and crank to start engine.

 

 In addition to the above procedure, it’s imperative all open fuel connections/galleries should be capped to prevent dirt ingress/contamination and minimize unnecessary fluid losses from the fuel system.
