    td4 misfire

    Have you actually had this done.. the injector? has it been replaced? Im just curious as my injector would not come out and this needed a new head so Im trying to gauge a service interval for when I need to take my injectors out and re-lube!

    Anyone changed a TD4 Injector?

    No! I just got it back last week....! and a second hand head on the car! they had to smash the rocker cover off and replace the injectors as they were all seized in, a friendly warning to all td4 owners ensure that you can remove injectors! I have just spent nearly £2k ! :(

    Anyone changed a TD4 Injector?

    Im gonna put in copperslip when I assemble it if and I mean a big IF I can remove the injector, but so I am told by numerous garages its the carbon build up around the bottom of the injector that gives the problems, so copper slip wont really help much.......

    Anyone changed a TD4 Injector?

    I did the coca cola thing first off as my local friendly parts manager at LR suggested but to no avail, Im still trying tho I have made a weird and wonderful contraption to try and prise it out with a home made slide hammer with a 5kg weight on it, if that dont work and I dont break any more...
