Servicing your van is a good thing, but will have no impact on when or if the injector will fail. Also injector cleaner will not prevent it either. The point of failure is the electrical switch part on top of the unit, not the main body of the injector. Hope this helps.

Hi. I have a 1.6tdi. On the way to work it started to make a shocking noise an loss of power. Thick white smoke pouring out the back. Does this sound familiar?

Hi, i have a 2017 Golf MK7.5 so it has the new Delphi Injector, are these problematic? On 86k now and no problems so far - ran on premium diesel and occasional Redex diesel cleaner added on every month

I'm not sure sorry, I don't think it will be. I would just leave it and continue as you are. Don't need to fix anything unless it's broken so you should be completely fine!

@@aquilinorodrigo Hi mines on 92k miles now and it developed injector knock a few weeks ago despite running the car on premium diesel. The mechanic told me to use SKODA VW AUDI SEAT - DIESEL ADDITIVE 150ml part number: G001790M3. I poured a bottle in for every full tank for the past 3 full tanks and I can notice a massive difference in reducing injector knock! It was like magic haha

2012 1.6 TDI 215000 miles no issues with injectors I always use injector cleaner two treatments once a year, always change all of your filters and quality oil, people usually don't maintain their cars properly

Hello. Mine is a 2012 Seat Leon with the CAYC engine and 113K with part service history. It developed a misfire last summer but it was intermittent. Sometimes it didn't misfire from cold up to normal running temp. Sometimes it would only misfire at cold idle. It always seems to run fine above idle, say 1500rpm and cruises on the motorway fine and performance is unaffected although 50mpg at best on a run and 38mpg locally which seems low. It was tested by an injection specialist last summer who found injector 3 was delivering more fuel than it should and injector 2 was compensating with slightly less. I have just today checked the resistance and all four are 202kOhm which I didn't expect. There are no related fault codes. The exhaust smells of diesel and is damp with diesel around the exit. It recently developed a loud ticking which sounds like a dud hydraulic tappet only on one cylinder - I've changed the oil just in case but the oil seemed fine and doesn't smell of diesel and the level has not changed since I changed it 3000miles ago. 2000 miles since the misfire started. It always starts easily cold or hot. It is smooth until the stationary idle drops to 800rpm at which point the misfire takes a few seconds to make itself felt. If this is a leaking or weeping injector what could be the possible fixes please?

I believe it's mainly the 1.6 but could be the 2.0. If you check the tops of the injectors for the codes, you'll see which ones you have.

@@andyallenby900 yeah exactly it should be fine! Loads of people don't have any issues at tall. They are good engines and will do 200-300k miles unlike most other brands. If you look after the van, service it regularly every year or 7k-10k miles you should be fine. And get AA breakdown cover incase anything goes wrong and they'll cover most the bill.

My 2011/85k Caddy Maxi is getting the EGR replaced tomorrow (ouch). It's had injector 1 &3 replaced already (one of them by me). Limp mode when the EGR is faulty is tolerable. Limp mode with an injector gone is undrivable. So I'm toying with biting the bullet and just replacing the other 2 injectors. The vans not long been MoT'd and it's had quite a bit of work done on it in its former life (BG van), including a new turbo @ 61k, a suspension overhaul @ 73k and a brakes & Master cylinder overhaul @ 75k....so I think its worth it. Maybe :-)

Parts might be that cheap but the cost to get them replaced is much higher. Especially if they get stuck or it's on the roadside, that is the going cost. AA on the roadside repair is now £700 per injector.
