Easily Remove Diesel Injector Copper Washer Seals

[@adr1an89]

This video saved me a lot of grief today. Had a stuck injector copper washer on my Volvo V70 D5. 8mm self-drilling tap stuffed inside a rubber hose did the trick. Thank you Alan

[@garyparker5012]

I had the exact same tool and had the screw fall out and fall into the cylinder Luckily I managed to fish it out with a magnet I now use an old flat screw driver made into a special hook which has never failed to remove many injector washers and it cost me nothing Great idea which you are using

[@simonwalker8112]

I use a round file to remove the injector washers, fits different sizes of washers as it's tapered at the end.

[@ChrisRalph1996]

Don’t know how I didn’t think of this before 😂 thanks bro

[@kevinhancock4064]

Good tip

[@ThePolarman1]

Thank you man, saved my day. I had nearly given up.

[@yosquidd242]

Nothing worse than a broken special tool. Very good thinking and experience under his hat.

[@stephengirling7859]

These vids are worth a small fortune. Thanks mate!

[@philcheeseman1863]

Spot on! I was struggling with screwdrivers and picks for half an hour before seeing this.

[@alan4x]

excellant

[@earthlingak]

That's a good method . I welded a stud extractor onto a thin extension bar and it worked straight away after hours of struggling.

[@billsheehy1660]

Never seen that before, every day is a school day Thank You

[@gregorydobson4307]

Great video, I can see your engineers mind working when we get these problems raise.

[@alan4x]

thanks gregory

[@RobertBosch9397]

No worries about making thread into the hole. You can screw spark plugs in afterwards 🤣🤣, great video again Alan!!

[@bartoszk4812]

Very succinct video and pro tip Alan. I've heard people using round slim metal file to fish those out too. Would be useful to show us one day how you clean the hole without debris getting into the cylinder head..

[@brigman28]

Well done Alan my injection seal is gone love the tips.

[@cali_cal]

Good ideal. didn't have a extracter but you gave me an idea and used a warrior 5/8 and it worked like a charm. one twist.

[@ralphmctell5210]

Good idea which i'll be using on my sons combo van. Also has the benefit of actually rotating the washer once the tap bites to help overcome any stickiness👍

[@HILUXCHAINSAW]

Got a MK7 fwd Transit that's juddering at low revs. Going to clean the injectors. This video could save me a lot of ball ache, cheers.

[@scoyle1750]

Very helpful timely upload as two injector seals to do tomorrow 🤞

[@peterstuyvesant2849]

Because I saw this video, immediately got to work. But with such a big pull, I had to TIG weld it because otherwise everything would stay in the injector hole. Afterwards, I bought that machine anyway, and it turned out to work better. The wrong-sized O-ring were stuck enormously. I was at a bad garage, now do everything myself.

[@josephhalwagy6435]

Brilliant and informative as usual, Your blood is worth bottling mate . Thank you Alan for sharing

[@blondieman63]

Great video Alan. Done the same thing on my son's car 1.6 diesel ford focus 2010 👍👍

[@Mr330d]

How did you remove the top black rubber seal? Mine wants to break apart instead of coming out as one piece 🙈

[@jothain]

I wonder if it would work to just lightly tap washer with normal punch and see if it would turn a bit so you could then maybe extract it with normal seal pick? Just a thought if someone doesn't have suitable thread tap.

[@ianrimmer1968]

Thanks for the video Alan. I’ll remember that method for the future. 😀👍

[@TheDaf95xf]

Hi 👋🏻 Alan. Your tips are absolutely fantastic on mondingos 🤩

[@dandexter2963]

Alan been watching your videos on Mondeo's since I bought mine 2 years ago. been a great help to me with changing bushes and that. I am after advice on my 1 major issue with the car MK4 Mondeo 2.0tdci. the car lost power on way to work and was making a rattling sound and was like engine would boost up power. Rac came said turbo had gone. I checked and had a little wobble so changed it. Stated car was exactly the same. So after watching through your videos I saw.the one about the broken came shaft. The noise was coming form that area so I took off fuel pump. Sure enough end of cam shaft was broken. So iv used your videos for help and changed the camshaft new cambelt water pump new gaskets. After finally getting it started and getting all the air out of the fuel. I am still having issues. The car won't rev past 3000rpm if I hold the accelerator it will dropped down to 1.5 and just sit there. Now again for a second I will get a surge to max revs. I am getting codes p0087 and p0089. I would be great full for any advice what to look at now thanks

[@markoverton5858]

Thanks for this tip, I owe you a pint 👍👏👏👏👏

[@paulprescott7913]

Love it Alan, ingenuity at its best.

[@405_hive]

First again…😊cheers mate. Good tip.

[@Nathan-bc3gj]

Good timing, I'm replacing the no.1 injector seal on my 1.8 TDCI tomorrow. Hoping the washer stays on the injector as I remove it 🤞

[@malcelwell7209]

Very clever Alan as usual 👌👍

[@CORRIGEEN71]

Great vid as usual wish you lived closer 315k miles on my 2015 Peugeot boxer 2.0 hdi how would I know if injections are gone or need replacing

[@mercedes_and_more]

And there was me thinking you could just turn the car upside down and knock it out! 😂😂😂😂

[@douglasgreen437]

You can if you are Swedish Rally driver Erick " On the roof " Carlson..🤣😅😆

[@brenglover72]

Push a square file through the washer and lever it out. Corners of the file bite into the copper.

[@markmawson1]

Long flat blade screwdriver where blade end just fits in copper washer hole pop it down injector hole into hole in washer then little tap with palm of your hand and screwdriver blade digs into sides of hole in washer then just lift screwdriver out of injector hole, never let me down yet

[@simonbeech600]

Thankyou very much , it worked a treat

[@alan4x]

thats good, cheers simon

[@robertcrosbie7214]

Hi You can screw a piece of screwed rod of a suitable size and lenth into the hole. I have used thus method for 40 yrs with good results

[@mohammadaliebrahimi-nik9486]

Great video would you please guide on how to find the right sealing online? thank you.

[@BootsDanielewski]

You. Absolute. Legend. Thank you, good sir.

[@Usercouldnotbefound]

I usually use a big pozi screw driver, little tap and she comes out, if not I have a long thin wire brush/pipe cleaner with some tough bristles on her, shove that down in and out a few times and out she comes

[@mariuskub]

Thank you Alan, you clever mate

[@shayne4250]

U are the best thanks for this video

[@Honky_Konky_Phooey]

I wish f#cking transit injectors came out easily 10 ton extraction tool was used this week , what a pain in the arse 🤬🤬🤬🤬. Always informative videos you do Alan top job buddy 👍🇬🇧

[@BobWilliscorgi]

Alan just a quick question is the obd port on mk5 mondeo same size as the mk4? Thanks Bob 🙏

[@Ad-gn8pl]

Should be, it's an industry wide connection standard I believe.

[@BobWilliscorgi]

@@Ad-gn8pl cheers Alan, great idea with the washer remover tool by the way 👍 it’s a better concept than the one you buy as no moving parts to go wrong!

[@Runeakb]

It looks like the 2.0 TDCI are not prone to coking up around the injectors as the 1.6 TDCI is?

[@robertgibson7716]

well done good tip ALAN

[@stephenegginton7590]

Nice one Allen 👍😀

[@JonWhitton]

Nice tip Alan

[@patkelly7999]

Great tip Alan, Thank You👌👍🙂

[@NayNay1991x]

Laser Injector seal puller works for me screws into the middle of the washer and then you can use the sliding hammer.

[@addictedtoangling]

Brilliant tip mate

[@chrismills9346]

That tool we had nite mare one the center fell out when in the cylinder ended up taking the head off never use one again

[@georgewalker7673]

Same technique works with broken fasteners, it’s why I keep a stock of left hand threaded taps.

[@camperp195]

Bloody ingenious that! 👍

[@brianpoulsen7021]

Thanks, saved my day...

[@mikeyp1977]

I like my laser tool. Long shaft with a cone shaped screw on the end. 👍🏻🇬🇧

[@josewrey4838]

excellent mechanics

[@alan4x]

thanks

[@DfOR86]

Thank you very much, it is very useful xD👌👌👌👌👌

[@chrisbell-pctechnician3784]

Great inginuity there my pal.

[@jamesroland5520]

That's great! Thanks!

[@isaacplaysbass8568]

Awesome tip.

[@marknucita8284]

Just had a washer replaced, it made a nice mess where it had been leaking, the fumes were entering inside of the car, all sorted

[@morkthebuilder9943]

Clever clogs. Wow what a great tip.

[@1Odama]

Have you tried with flexible magnetic grabber tool in reverse go in and pull it out while open ... did work for me!

[@eby6114]

Lord what id give to work on that car. My trucks injectors are on a bar, in the head, under the rocker arm assembly, beneath the wiring harness lol. Which is under the heat exchanger.

[@fryertuc1]

fantastic tip thanks

[@Ghostrabbit22]

i didnt have a tap that size so ive used a theaded bar i cut down about 10mm and pressed the gap together

[@georgigeorgiev1300]

I do does with i long cylinder head bolt with a welded socket on it

[@troubledtinkerer]

Excellent. Thanks

[@markplenty2631]

That’s a great tip!

[@showmerepair]

Great idea !!!!

[@geoffgreenhalgh3553]

Very good

[@khenalan1022]

I need u in my life ! I can drive ,but i cant fix car 😕😕

[@mondodaftasabrush]

I have even used concrete wall bolts to extract awkward stuff like this even attached with a slide hammer in my work Shame you had to ruin a E10 socket in the process. If you can buy one make one odd size taps metric / whitworth / bsp. and a grinder and a welder and bits of rod I use a wooden dowel with a disc of emery cloth or wire wool just to give a clean to the mating services before refitting any sealing surface Hope your still having a beer on a Wednesday night at home twiddling your thumbs thinking .... I could do something else with my time ... miss the waffle

[@sushantconsta]

Did it, thanks

[@ONEMOBATV]

will take note on this 👍🏻

[@mickramo498]

i used a large pozi drive/phillips screw driver

[@frednetherlands887]

Thank you.

[@ianchristopher5430]

Nice one!

[@s3bby513]

i was lucky then when i took injectors out of my mk2 focus 2.0 tdci all of the cooper washers were on the injectors lmao (was scraping the caras engine was fucked but injectors are/were decent)

[@Robyrama76]

Grazie...

[@Fritsvrolijk]

Thanks Pro

[@marcmorris-kb9ry]

[@wayneturner7678]

[@mickramo498]

[@Mcintechmobilemechanic]

I use a fat philips screw drive mental tap works perfect

[@alan4x]

excellant

[@olliebodman9771]

That’s great now I have to go buy those items 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🙄 any other ideas that don’t require tools I haven’t got

[@alan4x]
