Due to a recent engine swap on a series 2 td5, I need to re-code the new injectors to the ecu. Looking for someone in the Herts/Cambs area with a nanocom code reader that could help please. All advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
Hi, any decent (knowledgeable tech) in a local garage with Snap On Diag machine (Solus or better) will be able to do that for you, if you were nearer I'd do it for ya in 10 minutes flat ;)

You will need to have the Injector code numbers written down, which I'm not exactly certain on the TD5 motor, but are usually etched on the top of the Injectors, so a pita as TD5 Injectors are under Cam Cover ;)

If you have the vehicle that the Engine came out of and it still has Battery and Motor ECU wired up it's easier to read 'em outta the Motor ECU

HTH :)

Surely if they have the engine, they could remove the injectors and put them in the "new" engine in the exact same holes?!
I AM aware that some will find pulling the injectors not in their skills list.

Sure they could, (but maybe they were faulty or damaged, maybe they don't have them) I'd find it far easier to just re code 'em, either way, unless they have the ECU from the Donor, the Cam Cover at least has to come off ;)
 
We were sold a dodgy engine by a company who won't reply to our messages so we've had to make good using the old engine as a donor and bought various new parts to go with it. The car is running and seems OK but we would be happier to get it coded correctly.
Thanks so.much for your comments, they're all really helpful as we are relatively new to all this.
