Alright mate, I see the injector cleaning set doesn't have a reamer, is it a completely necessary tool, or would I be ok be a kit similar to the one you've linked above? I have one very similar to it.

Have just done this. Get the engine HOT as you can! Had to re-fit 3 injectors to run the engine again to then remove the 4th one. The Sealy VS2040 puller or Laser 7525 tool also make it easier. Thanks for the video!

Stoked...! That's the Re-con Injector from Germany put in, and she runs fine. Need to go down my Local Wee Garage and let them Code in replacement injector tomorrow. It looked as if someone had been in there before. Thank you very much for your help checking those Torque values, and for taking the time and effort of making the Video. Doing it myself, with your advice saved me hundreds (possibly Thousands) in Labour charges getting old injector out.

[@jondavid9917]

Do not recomend going to 270 degreese if injectors have been out before, as i just had the threads in the head pull out before it reached that torque

[@TheDervMan]

I chuckled while watching the sped up section as you were Obs talking as I could hear the squeaky voice, I dead to think what you were saying 🙊 that was proper stuck.

[@diydaly]

haha! yeah I was cursing bit 😂😂 did have a fellow mechanic with me chatting too 🤣

[@robjenkins9450]

Interestingly your steering fault lamp came on by changing injector No. 2. I've just completed the same replacement and my steering lamp also came on during 1st restart. Thankfully it cleared itself again once the steering was turned under power. Like another person who commented on here I too would NOT go 270 degrees after the 8Nm torque, 180 is fine. and well tight enough. And on that point, of all things I would not advise buying none genuine stretch bolts. Quality control standards may not be met by copies and you risk an unnecessary shear off. Furthermore you may find they are also cheaper from an Audi dealer rather than VW. I paid less than £4 each.

[@colin5064]

Hi, great video of this job, just wish the link you show for the copper washer extraction tool kit was correct. You link doesn't show the full kit you use just the slide hammer on its own, so no injector seal cutter tools available

[@diydaly]

Thanks , I’ll check into that , must have changed

[@mrtheholden]

Great video, very informative however folks don't use the socket on the fitting with the extension bar on the injector as it will snap like it did with me. I would suggest using a proper pulling tool if it really tight. Now I've got to find a replacement fitting for the injector. NIGHTMARE

[@duncancremin1708]

Mine came out with gentle prying, using the adjacent head bolt. Thankfully all the copper seals came too. I’m at 460,000km and they’re the original injectors, so I’m getting them all done. The one that packed up is surely not the only one feeling tired. I was wondering how to clean the seats, because leaking seats are the main reason for them seizing in place, so I didn’t want to just drop new seals in there and hope for the best. I didn’t know there was a specific tool, so thanks for that. This is my first time doing it myself on a common rail engine, though I have seen it done, a few times. I’m very surprised how tight you had to make the saddle clamp. Mine were not noticeably tight, coming out. Certainly not tight enough to stretch a bolt. I got them with a 1/4” drive ratchet! It’s all I had, with an 8 spline key. I was expecting to use an adapter, to tighten it back down with the same 1/4” drive spline key, but I think it would shear off at that torque. I feel some new tools coming on!

[@duncancremin1708]

Update: I got the cleaning kit and it had quite a lot of stuff in it that I didnt need for this, but will doubtless be glad of, at some point. Also got a new 1/4" torque wrench, because none of mine go down to 7N/m, as instructed by VW, when I bought the new bolts. Interestingly, the reconditioner had me put them back in a different order. He reckons no2 and no3 got transposed at some point in the past and it should really have flagged an error. I did as ordered and didnt need to code them. It runs much better than at any time in my ownership. The bolts were only €5 from the dealership, so definitely better to go genuine for those. The last wrinkle, for me, was tge leak off pipes. I did it your way yet still screwed up the retaining clip, somehow, with the result that it blew the pipe out on the test run, making an expensive, smelly mess. After a clean up, I was able to extract the clip, put the pipe back in and secure it properly, without losing the clip down the engine. Fiddly, but better than pulling the injectors again.

[@TruthTortoise81]

Can't understand why you didn't remove the clamp first before attacking no 2 injector with an air hammer? no 1 injector was loose so you could easily have removed it first instead of breaking it? Also did you not think maybe it would have been a lot easier if you soaked it in penetrating fluid (plus gas) first?

[@timbo19751975]

Because you cannot get the penetrating fluid down to the injector bore - the rocker cover is in the way !

[@stuart6973]

Mine went at exactly the same mileage as this one 96k. Changed all four and it’s like a new van now.

[@Psilocybinsvamp]

Initially only tighten the fastening screws with MAX: 1 - 2 Nm. After installing the high-pressure lines. Final tightening torque: 8 Nm + turn further 180°. And why do you not adapt the minimum deviation quantity for the injectors?

[@enginemanagementadventures7305]

Elsawin states 8Nm + 180 degrees for the CAY engines I see that autodata is telling ppl 270, probably why I see so many broken bolts in the bearing cover 😂

[@elrey9236]

Excellent video, very informative, but in your link it doesn't say which reaming tool you used . Do you remember the size ? I'm having a nightmare with oil around injectors even though I've changed everything for genuine . Just didn't re seat it . Thanks

[@AdamHP]

Love the channel bro. Always very helpful. Can I ask, after using your injector bore seat cleaning tool, you put an air compressor in there… after you said to be careful about blowing stuff around and into the head, as it was open and not closed off on the way down. Do you not reckon you could blow stuff into the wrong places by loosening the dirt and then sticking a compressor into it ? Best wishes, look forward to your response, Adam.

Neat little engine. Still fairly crammed engine bay. My Volvo V70 with the 5 cylinder 2.4L engine offers more space and better access, although the engine is fairly tall so getting to the AC compressor and turbocharger in the back is only really possible from below and the long nose of the car makes it hard for a not so tall person to access the injectors. The engine is slanted backwards it would be too tall for the engine bay otherwise. My favourites are the 1.9PD Diesel dead simple engine really and the Mercedes OM611 since them are longitudinal.

Had a very interesting talk to a VW mechanic when my 2014 Caddy went in for a service. He said that all VWs are ECU programmed to all fail namely the EGR valve, then the Glow plugs, then the injectors before it gets to 100k

Hi, slightly off topic but same engine question.Have you come across the common problem of VW/AUDI 1.6 TDI common rail engine tick and rough idling when cold first start?

Hi mate I’ve got a Audi A3 2L TDI and one of my injectors are leaking what looks like oil around it it’s not a bad leak tho would this cause a high idle for instance sometimes the idle stays on 1k RPM and can feel the car shake and feels like there’s a loss of power also getting white smoke sometimes when I floor it I’ve had it plugged in no codes for anything I put some diesel system cleaner in tank still no difference 1 day car is normal then it’s not any suggestions mate I’ll leave a video on my KZbin of my car if anyone can help Thanks for the videos btw 👍🏼

[@diydaly]

They are just oil seals for the rocker cover so shouldn’t cause any idle issue mate , odd though as it’s sounds like an injector fault your having , maybe one on its way out.. you might find it gets worse

[@rm9207]

I know this is late pal but I had the exact same issue oil pooling uo near the injectors, got it checked out by my mechanic it’s the rocker cover which is supposed to keep in the oil that’s losing its Seal which is losing oil and also the injector seals which also need doing

[@Reesaming]

@@rm9207 yeah sold Audi got mk6 now same engine and same problem lol injector seal needs changing must be a common problem with them 👍🏼

[@ikilic9353]

mine does exactly the same as yours, I still can't find the issue, then, the DPF lamp came on and the car doesn't run over 2k rpm.... don't know what to do

[@Reesaming]

@@ikilic9353 I sold my Audi a3 because of it and bought a golf mk6 and the same thing happened again lol so I done some more research it ended up being the DPF trying to regenerate so I took it on the motoway for a good run 30 miles it runs perfect now trust me take your car for a good run add some good quality DPF cleaner in your tank before you do it 👍🏼

[@TheDervMan]

Any idea why the injectors are coded? Is it an attempt by manufacturers to stop non main dealer repairs? Or is there a legit technical reason 🧐

[@diydaly]

Im not 100% sure tbh mate

[@Max-dr6yr]

@@diydaly The "coding" is actually a flow calibration for each individual injector so that the ECU can adjust the injector pulse accordingly.

What happen if i close more 270° ?

[@diydaly]

that's just the recommended torque , hard to say mate

[@ryanrowlands.combarney832]

Only problem i can see is! He broke the aluminium sadle bracket because he should of teased the "both injectors" out "together!"

No need priming fuel lines?

Just cycling the ignition a few times should be suffice

[@anderskedegard6799]

@@diydaly, thanks for replying. Is it essential to "code" new injector when installed?

[@diydaly]

@@anderskedegard6799 yeah , there do really need coding

[@anderskedegard6799]

@@diydaly what if I reuse the upper, uncrewable part of injector (where the plastic connection harness is located). Could that be a short-cut solving the problem?

[@diydaly]

@@anderskedegard6799 neh it will damage it if you separate it mate , you can try it without coding first see if it runs ok if not just find a small independent garage that’s prepared to do the coding for you

[@Dsubbz]

Week later another injector needs replacing, good ole 1.6tdi 😂

[@diydaly]

Haha 🙈

[@Gabasto]

mines the same but code p0201

[@captainotto]

Almost a shame speeding up through all the attempts to get the injector loose. I almost wanted to hear all the swearing. It would have made me feel better about when I did mine.

[@diydaly]

Haha yeah it was abit of swearing going on!!
