D3 injectors

zenith · Nov 1, 2010

Hi folks . My '05 D3 has 77 ,000 miles done now and i'm wondering if i should get the injectors replaced or reconditioned. I am not having any problems with my D3 , but would doing this be of any advantage or would it be money down the drain ?? Z

If your vehicle is regularly serviced with new fuel filters, it should not be neccesary, imo, to anything with your injectors.

As you say there are no symptoms, there is no fault to cure. If well looked-after injectors will happily go on for hundreds of thousands of miles.

thanks for your relpy !!
I do keep it serviced at my dealer and at correct service intervals , so i guess ,therefore ,they should be fine .
Had thought changing them might have improved on the 22.2 mpg that i'm getting from it .. Z

It weighs 2650kgs. An average car weighs 1500kgs so you are never going to get good mpg. Has the mpg reduced recently, or are you just pee'd of with 22mpg?

No , it hasn't changed much really . It had droped down to 18 mpg last year , but i discovered the E.G.R valves were clogged up , so i removed them, had it re-maped and fitted a high flow air filter , which took it up to were it is now .
