VW 1.6 - 2.0tdi CR injector bolt repair fix DTE TV

[@ssss-df5qz]

Top tip. Use the old bolt head as a domed washer by drilling through the head to the shaft with an 8mm bit

From where did you buy the larger copper washers? it would be very helpful. thank you

[@MalteseMafia]

Great fix. Great tips too.

[@YTDTETV]

Hey Phil niceone sir I’ll drive it for a few weeks and make sure it’s good.

[@Jonodrew1286]

Very common fault - very good remedy - similar to the vauxhall combo engine design - I have used an m8 cap screw because people like breaking easy-outs and drill bits in these when they flap around and break the bolt or because the original bolt was reused 👍🙏🙏👌

[@retrobikechannel2599]

Shweeeeet!! my OCD was gagging to clean that engine bay but you beat me to it . another job jobbed.

[@YTDTETV]

Hey bud niceone yes I do enjoy an engine bay clean as the before and after definitely is satisfying 👍

[@MrFreesearcher]

This happened to me last night. I had injector 3 replaced about 4 years ago, and last night 3 and 4 popped out on the run home from work. Thankfully I was able to coast into a layby, but it looked very messy.

[@YTDTETV]

Hey bud you might be lucky in just replacing the standard bolt, get new ones from Vw and try them first 👍

[@gwizz9175]

Great video. I've seals to do on a 2.0 Tdi next week so this is very helpful. Hopefully won't need the stud repair!🙏

[@YTDTETV]

Hey bud glad the video was useful if your bolts are still infect you won’t need a stud just replace the bolts for new ones 👍

Hey Richard thank you 👍

[@tiguanvw3884]

Excellent video thanks but the injectors are coded so they need to be fitted back on their cylinders

[@YTDTETV]

Hi bud thank you yes I put the same injectors back in the same cylinder 👍

[@carlsiddorn3340]

Top job there will last for ever

[@YTDTETV]

Niceone Carl should definitely be stronger than the original.

[@Heeey522]

Hi, did you drill something in the cylinder head?

[@webpro607]

i'm trying to repair the thread with Helicoil but i noticed that the original bolt is a bit thinner than the standard M6 bolt. it's aprox. 5.78mm and standard M6 bolt is 6mm. anyone tried the Helicoil approach so can provide some useful information?

[@peza6982]

Nice one

[@YTDTETV]

Thank you bud 👍

[@neilmckinlay]

Great video man. A question - if a copper washer that you’re fishing out ends up getting lost (rocker cover still on) will that cause problems if you can’t find it? 👀 😁🤦🏼‍♂️

[@YTDTETV]

Thank you 👍 haha easily done, so obviously it would be nice to find it but something like a washer would normally just fall in a little hole somewhere and sit not causing any harm, also as is copper it wouldn’t damage anything.

[@neilmckinlay]

@@YTDTETV Thanks very much man, appreciate it. You’re a very talented guy. Respect 💪🏼

[@YTDTETV]

No problem happy to help and thank you for your comments 👍

[@iepurelavolan9820]

After replacing the injector seals and injector washers the power of the car became a little bit laggy. The old cooper washers were very flat and damaged. I think with new cooper washers the height of injector is a little bit higher and the combustion is different. The tightening of the studs was done quite well in 2-3 stages, so i think there problem is not the insufficient tightening. Unfortunately i didn't know i had to replace the both studs, too. Can i replace both studs without replacing the seals again?

[@YTDTETV]

Hey bud yes just undo the bolt and stick new ones in the seals will be fine 👍

[@bailey-cj2pl]

Hi, Brill video, thanks for taking the time to do it. I am replacing my injector seals as they are becoming a bit oily around them. Trouble is then shite sticks to it and its ends up a thick mess. I have new injector stem seals, shaft o rings, copper washers and rocker gasket, there not cheap are they? Also there are increasingly more stuff appearing from China, which could well be crap, who knows? I got mine from Germany, Autodoc. But it does take around 7-10 days by post. Question, can the copper seals stick down in the head, or do they generally come out stuck to the injector? Also, is there not an oil seal on the shaft of the injector holding clamps?, if so is it with changing too?? Thanks again, really good help.

[@YTDTETV]

Hi Tim, yes the decent kits ain’t cheap, copper washers do sometimes stick down in the head. I normally remove rocker cover to be able to see better, if you get a large flat head screwdriver then push it in the center and it catches the washers so you can pull it out. Give each port a good clean for the new ones to seal. There’s no o ring on the injector but there is rubber seals in the rocker cover under the clamps. Let me know if you get stuck with anything 👍

[@gentlesoul1513]

hello, I have just done this mod, thanks for saving me a cylinder head, could I ask please did you need to bleed the fuel system as I get a low fuel pressure code, I have tried bleeding the pump with an oil extractor but no joy

[@YTDTETV]

Hey bud glad the video is useful, did you get this going yet?

[@eddydar]

Excellent video.bit don't use wd40 for injectors it's doesn't burn use brake cleaner or air. Why do these snap?

[@YTDTETV]

Thank you sir 👍 ok I’ll bare that in mind. When vw designed this engine they made them with one 8mm thread bolt holding 2 injectors, the engine before these has 2 bolts per injector.

[@colin5064]

Great video but puzzled why you didn't just run a 8mm die down your ebay 8 mm stud to extend your thread. You appear to have the skills and this is a quick job with a vice and tap and die set

[@YTDTETV]

Hey Colin so I didn’t know how far I could have gone in without breaking through, someone had been there unfortunately so the top bit of the thread was already knackered.

[@colin5064]

@@YTDTETV Hi, ok just good to know your thoughts on this

[@scottsvxr]

👌👍😎

[@joptech5308]

I see several brands of injectors (bosch, siemens, delphi, metzler, ...). It's ok to put a different brand than the one the vehicle came with?

[@YTDTETV]

Hi bud no the injector brand is specific to your injection system, if you put your injector number into an eBay search Or Google search and you will find what one you need.

[@mohamadkiherkhttab6384]

Hallo, das Video ist großartig. Aber ich habe ein Problem mit Öldampf, der aus dem Motoröldeckel meines VW Turan 2011 austritt. Können Sie mir erklären, wo das Problem liegt? Vielen Dank.

[@YTDTETV]

Hi bud firstly I would change all the injectors seals and copper washers as that causes that issue 👍

[@mohamadkiherkhttab6384]

werde alles tun, was ich kann, und danke Ihnen.

My audi has just done thos yesterday only bought it 3 days ago 😢

[@wkim3114]

How much did it cost

[@YTDTETV]

Hey sorry for the delay, sorry to hear this did you get it fixed? The bolts are so weak on these.

[@roostaraver]

Great video , I Noticed a little oil around my injector seats today , is this the injector copper washers failing or the rocker cover seals

[@YTDTETV]

Thank you 👍👍 if the engine sounds normal and not chuffing then it’s more than likely just the seals in the rocker cover.

[@roostaraver]

@@YTDTETV wicked thanks mate i will give that a try

[@roostaraver]

Do you need any sealant on the rocker cover ? My new cover and gaskets arrived today hopefully gonner start the job tomorrow when this rain finally stops

[@YTDTETV]

@@roostaraver so I reused the rocker gasket and cover as it looked ok, sometimes the do have a small amount of sealant on sharp corners etc, if you’ve still got your old one have a look and see if there’s any sealant in certain areas.

[@roostaraver]

@@YTDTETV sound , thats a good shout , i will check it out when i remove it , price for the rubber seals around injectors has gone up, bloody £12 from vw now

[@larrybailey5080]

Hey buddy. Ive just had my stretch bolt thats pulled the tread. Any chance you can do mine 😂

[@YTDTETV]

Oh man that’s crap, this one is still running running mint so is definitely a good fix 👍

[@jacko-gk2st]

how did you clean the seats before putting injectors in please

[@YTDTETV]

Hi jacks so when the injectors are out I have this tool, it cleans the seats and ports very well. You can also use wd40 and similar stuff, don’t worry if some goes into the cylinders it burns straight off 👍 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183101700267?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=3eWoxo2sSX6&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=rFVY-8_MTHe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@danieldrury6116]

Ive got one now threads all dammaged what was it u wound into the block and were did u buy it from?

[@YTDTETV]

Hi bud all info is in the video and what I bought is all listed in the video description 👍

[@TheReiseleder]

What torque should be on the stretch bolt securing the injectors ? 8nm + 180 degrees?

[@YTDTETV]

Hey bud sorry for the delay I don’t know the answer to this I’m sorry

[@mohammedriaz7349]

Hi I've got the same problem, just want to know if you thread down into the head or just the cam case . Also if you can send a link of the bolts you used from ebay .

[@YTDTETV]

Hey bud I run the tap all the way into the head for abit more strength 👍

[@grahamwishart4832]

​@@YTDTETV How do you stop swarf dropping into the inside as it's open into the cam area and oil galleys?

[@hariskhan1000]

Hey bud fate has got me here. I got same issue same engine same injector bolt issue. I will buy the stud thanks for link but the link for barrel nut doesnt work so please help me here. Or should i use a normal nut and dome it little or use washer bend it slightly?. Also where i have diesel leak on the injectors i will change fuel return pipe but it keeps coming out due to pressure what can i do. Thanks

[@YTDTETV]

Hey bud so it the thread pulled out? If so then yes do this this one I done still run’s absolutely mint no issues. Just type m8 barrel nut on eBay and it should bring one up 👍 you can buy a leak off pipe set on eBay for around £20 that should fix it.

[@hariskhan1000]

Yes mate the thread has pulled out pretty much exactly same as the video. I will do this as u did thanks big thumbs up

[@TheChiefCoin]

What to do is that threaded part has split?

[@YTDTETV]

Oh mate that wouldn’t be good, probably a replacement head.

[@benjshields]

Great video mate, what do you can thoes little plastic rings that to into the rocker cover at 6:40? Thanks

[@YTDTETV]

Hi bud welcome to the channel thank you for the comment 👍 they are the injector seal rubbers for the rocker cover I replaced one as that was split and left the others, I phoned TPS for them they sell genuine parts and was only a few quid. I tapped them out from behind with a screwdriver 👍

[@roostaraver]

can you use anything to clean the injecters before putting back

[@YTDTETV]

Yes cleaning them is ok, diesel, petrol, wd40 or anything solvent based with do. I always avoid the tips thow there’s microscopic holes in them and I don’t like to disturb them.

[@roostaraver]

@@YTDTETV wicked , my injectors popped out nice following your method 13mm socket and a crowbar off the fuel rail bolt with a hot engine , game out like butter.., iv got allot of carbon on my injecter nozzles around and infront of the copper washers gonner be hard to push the washers off

[@YTDTETV]

@@roostaraver glad my videos help 👍👍 so I had some super stuck washers and I had a razor blade to dig some of the carbon off around the washer, I then tapped the blade behind the washer to start it moving forward. You can lightly scrap the end nozzle with a blade or something just be careful round the very end.

[@cbr1100flyer]

What did you torque barrel bolt to ?

[@YTDTETV]

I just used a 3/8 ratchet and done it up the same as you would a 13mm nut, don’t hang off it just do it up if you know what I mean. Sorry I can’t be more specific 👍

[@samaelmunoz8110]

Where did you get the stud, and what grade is it?

[@YTDTETV]

I put the eBay link in the video description and I think it’s high tensile grade 10.8? Think that’s the right number

[@samaelmunoz8110]

Thanks sir

[@MyJarrus]

those 1.6 tdi are very bad engines the injectors before 2015 always fail, the 2.0 tdi is more powerful and more fuel efficient

Hey bud yes they are so bad on these, funny you mention fuel consumption because these 1.6 are terrible on fuel. I’ve heard the 2.0l are much better 👍👍
