Ford Focus 1.6tdci hdi Peugeot injector seal replacement DTE

Ford Focus 1.6 tdci injector seal replacement
this one came to me sounding awful, probably one of the worst I've heard in a long time. customer said he couldn't hear it, only one was leaking so I re tightened the other 3 while I was there and that will save them from leaking in the near future

Is the same process for 2.0 tdci and Peugeot Citroen 1.6 and 2.0 hdi

Many thanks for the tip about the spinning captive thread inserts which hold down the injector wiring plastic rail, 2 of mine were spinning and not coming undone too, great info to lift upwards using a flat screwdriver! nipping up the clamp down 7mm hex nuts on injectors which are not yet a problem is well worth doing too, some of mine were a bit loose. All the best mate!

@@geraldlavery3962 brilliant 👍👍 I’ve always found injectors come out easier when the injectors are warm, it’s surprising when you check the other injector bolts how loose they have become after the washing crushing down overtime. I think some manufacturers actually have an injector re torque service interval as if you tightened them every few years they would last a lot longer. Glad the video helped 👍👍

Hi, yes very good instructions video, I have question would you change all seals on four injector or just the one leaking, I have one leaking and it's 78000mils on the clock so I'm thinking what to do, thanks

[@YTDTETV]

Hi Libor welcome to the channel glad you found it useful. I would only change the one that is leaking 👍. While your there just NIP up the other injector bolts you will be surprised how loose they become overtime as the injector washer crushes. Don’t go to tight thow just use a 3/8 ratchet and nip them up slightly. If they havnt been tightened before then you will probably get a full 90degree on them.

Hi bud welcome to the channel, so the noise is normally loud enough so most people can hear something is wrong, injector seals don’t normally throw a light up unfortunately. The non dpf model is the better one to have 👍

Only just found this channel n it's great Question though How do you stop the crap dropping into the fuel system once your cleaned out the seal area Vac ? Only asking as my son has one of these n no doubt will have to do em

[@YTDTETV]

Hi bud so any carbon that falls in isn’t a problem because it isn’t rock hard like a stone or metal it will literally just get squashed and burn off through the exhaust, if his hasn’t started blowing then re tighten his injector bolts asap as they won’t blow then. Just use a 7mm hex bit on either a small or medium ratchet. You should get maybe a 90degree turn with ease, don’t go made but you’ll feel it needs tightening when you start. Each injector has 2 bolts you will get a decent turn on one then a nip up on the other. Do all 4 injectors and they won’t ever blow 👍 glad you found the channel.

I just done mine, injector 3 had loads of the sticky tar stuff around the base, after carefully getting it all off with a screwdriver I had to tap the injector with a slat of wood and a hammer to loosen it as the spanner over the nut didn't work as it was too stuck, I also didn't have to use the seat cutter kit I had bought, I think you'd be better off investing in an injector port cleaning kit, the sides of mine were crudded right up.

And do I need to look at any numbers on top of injector that has to match my old injector.

[@YTDTETV]

Hi bud glad my advice was of some use and yes definitely sounds like one is jumping back fuel. Yes your injector should have a code similar or the same as 0445110259 right near the leak off pipe connector. If your number is the same then I have a refurbed one that has only done 10 miles since replaced them the car was crashed so I took all the injectors as spare. I can sell you this one if needed 50. If you use wd40 or something similar to clean the top of the injector if you can’t see the number. Also the new one will need coding to the car but any decent OBD scanner will be able to do this. Let me know if you need this injector and I’ll send you my email address. Thanks again

I have a 2009 tdci 1.8 focus and the diesel is seaping out on injector any ideas if its a broken seal

[@YTDTETV]

Hi bud welcome to the channel 👍, if you can get a cloth and clean most of the moisture off and see exactly where it’s leaking from and let me know. It’s either leaking from the very top of the injector and on your 1.8 it should be the union bolt with the feed pipe. If it’s leaking from there they are almost impossible to reuse so if that bolt/pipe has been undone then the whole pipe needs to be replaced. If you ring fords and give them your reg and tell them what pipe it is they will be able to supply you one and believe me they are a lot cheaper than you think maybe around £20. If it’s leaking further down from the thin black pipe then that’s the return and needs a new little o ring. Hopefully that helps if not give me a shout 👍

@@piecetoyou8285 I fix cars everyday modern and old stuff and to locate really faulty injectors I to unplug them while it’s running, it’s the same principle as pulling a HT lead off an older car to locate which cylinder has a misfire. The focus I mentioned before would go into limp mode and engine malfunction when under load ie going for an overtake on dual carriage way etc. what’s happening there is a faulty injector is leaking back up the return lines to much causing low fuel pressure in the pump. You can buy diesel leak off kits cheap on eBay and it’s an easy job to check them. Just connect them to the thin return lines on the injectors and run the car for 1-2minutes and you’ll see in the measuring pots if one is leaking back to much. Hope that helps 👍

[@YTDTETV]

Hi bud glad the video helped you and well done 👍. I don’t think youve screwed up it’s leaking from 1 of 2 places, it’s either from the little leak off return pipe on the top or it’s the 14mm solid feed pipe needs nipping up a little more. Check the 14mm union bolt with the solid pipe on first as that’s the easiest. If they are tight then pop the little return pipe and clip off the top again and check the little green o ring for splits. Let me know and I’ll hopefully help you sort it.
