- injector removal AGAIN!!! Second time now try to get this injector out. Come up with a different plan and different idea Let's hope it works and let's give it a try I'll be running out of options. Let's see what happens. Hope you enjoy the video.
My dear Sir THANK YOU for that awesome dose of happiness when you realised the injector was out.
True legend!
👍 thank you 😊 🙏
I wish our politicians had your grit and determination. Well done, sir.
theres a guy around here (central scotland) charges £250 per injector removal, and ill throw money at him before i ever get involved in one of these nightmares. good on you, your a bigger man than me.
@denisohbrien
I was running out of options, on these just welded in with rust, dreading doing the other 3 lol
Not bad 250, if it just one needs sorting
Nice one! That reaction when it broke free cracked me up 😅. Made a few pullers and press tools myself nice when it works.
Cheers mate, yer there ok when they work, but this type injector would just not come out, the other type I've got 5 out in my other videos,
Glad you liked it 👍 thanks for watching and subscribing
Well done Mark. Your videos are even more nerve wracking than watching England play ..!
Cheers, mate, I was nevers for them yesterday aswell 👍
You know you have a stuck injector when you need two 20 tonne bottle jacks. 😂
It just mad. Don't think my weld would hold you at 40tons. I love to fit a gauge to see what pressure it all taking. I still have 3 more to go as well 👍
Yes!! Bingo! Well done. The force required to overcome the friction induced by the growth of the injector down the bore of the head is insane. I've diagnosed a few of these vans as needing an injector swapping but have totally avoided getting involved in taking them out for this very reason. You didn't quit or give up, what a guy!
Cheers 👍👍
Shame, at the end of it all you still have a vauxhall.😅
I've 4 ! Must be mad 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤣
That’s ingenious mad scientist stuff! Well flipping done, now to do mine 😊
I really did try with this engine been a total nightmare to be fair, they just wouldn't come out, 🙄
Gald you liked it 👍
Brilliant, impressed with the constant no give up attitude, well done
Cheers mate 👍
Persistence always pays. Good man, yourself. I've been enjoying watching your videos.
My renault trafic van, no.4 injector seized up a while back. A set of new injectors and having them pulled set me back £1100 🙄. This was 6 months after having an engine fitted. A stretched timing chain can be costly...
Why did your timing chain stretch, did you change your engine oil and filter every 5000 miles or did you go for a lot longer and do you use genuine fuel filters
Well done! I have a very nice jig and a mag drill for these! Works nicely. 😂 the problem with that sort of force is the head is softer than the injector so the risk is breaking that first.
Mag drill, that's a good idea 👍 I've got to, way a feel with it, mite drill hole straight tho it! 🤣
I was hiding behind a chair watching this well done🤣🤣
I was worried when I saw the steel table bending a bit; the jack flew off 🤣 aswell
A mate had the same problem and it drove him mad, he did manage in the end but it was a week and three good mechanics. Good luck.
Yer I hope the other 3 come out the same way fingers crossed 🤞 it just rust it unbelievable how these are stuck in like this
Thanks for watching and subscribing 👍
I've got the primastar, and I'm dreading injector problems. Well done mate. 👏
I think his engine is in a really bad state to be fair , water has been dripping down onto the injector for years, if had the right tools from pincher I think it could be done with engine in the van, but there tools are 3,500 pounds
Get a pro if they need doing 👍
Glad I sold mine (Vivaro ) !
That's just nuts !
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Cheers, mate,👍
Yer such a shame, when the injector goes and it finishes the vans off, but these are really bad 🫤
Love the impending shrapnel face😂
🤣👍
It’s a great feeling when you’ve been stuck with a job that starts to get you down. Been there many times.
Yer runing out of options on this one nightmare. It was good to see pop out, but did take some force, tho 👍
I couldn't help but engage my safety squints watching this video..
Yer that's twice now, these jack have flown off, there about 15kg each aswell
Might have to make some safe chains some how for them 🙄
Nice one. Love the home made platform for the jacks, that looks like the effort to build the tool will pay off nicely 👌
I love it when a plan comes together! ❤😂
Cheers, it is holding up, the platform, with the pressure it having to take, 👍👍
Congratulations. That was the most enjoyable and quality bit of TH-cam I’ve watch all month. Subscribed and best regards 👍
Cheers mate 👍 glad you liked it and have subscribed 👍
Let hope the other 3 want to come out next
Mad as a box of frogs but thats the best way to learn. Been there many times myself so always good to see it pay off 🍻
🤣 cheers mate, can't believe how hard these are to come out, what rubbish design these 2.0 are, most car or van they just need a bit for a pull, these need 1000 tons on force 🤦♂️🙄🤣👍
we have one sitting outside our workshop for a year now, perhaps next year...
Thats new !!!! I was under the impression that the only vauxhall van seen on UK roads is the ev Milk Float version that runs out of puff on hills.
Got to admire your persistence. Good luck with the rest👍
Great vid by a true Yorkshireman 🤭If only the factory would use anti seize compound on these, this would never be a problem.
Locktite 8151 to be precise.
This stuff is absolutely foolproof and can be used one exhaust studs.
They always come out years later if required ⚠️
Cheers, pal. I've got some stuff for the injectior. If these ever come out, that is, fingers crossed, the other 3 will come out now 👍
Have done primastar injector best to get engine really hot then soak with plenty maintenance spray also try and turn both ways with long spanner to get loose then use a bar to lever out.
God loves a trier and you certainly don't give up. Your determination is commendable, Mark👍👍
Yes!! Brilliant! Had to rewind that a couple of times. Excellent work!
Wish, I could rewind it, I would have moved a bit quicker 🤣, just 3 more to go. Hopefully, there are not as bad but look the in the same state 🙄
What an epic series mate ! amazing determination, amazing ideas ^^ loved it.
@mev1080
Cheers mate 👍 and thank you
3 more to go fingers crossed they come 👍
1st time watching ur vids this is the 1st 1. Iv always been lucky with my diesel as the injectors came out pretty easy.. i do unfortunately deal with alot of rusty bolts siezed into alloy though moto x shock bolts etc that go streight through a swingarm usually never touched or maintained in the last 10-15yr i find wurth inject crack does a really good job along with some some heat.. if you habe the luxury of time you could spray a penetrant leave it to soak a day or 2 then apply heat.
Well Done Mark, I admire your determination.
Cheers mate 👍
Nice work Mark, just like my channel, straight talking, and upfront, refreshing change , good work
Gary
Thanks mate, just seen this comment, sorry it late reply 👍
@@tinker-time
No probs...
well done fella you deserve to win thanks for the video it was great to watch
Cheers, mate, and thank you 👍👍
I like a film with a happy ending ..Well done 🙂👍
Thank you 👍
I had to drill out 2 of mine on my 2.0 vivaro, got the head off now, noticed some scoring on one of the bores, from a glow plug tip i think.
reminds me of a Dephi injector that refused to come out and eventually left the injector nozzle body behind,welded in by burnt diesel that glued in in tight.Took me 4 months to get it all out.Was quoted $5k to remove head and machine it out. All initiated by a crack in the injector that was releasing fuel pressure.
Won in the end and got it out 👍👍
Well done!! that looked like a nightmare of a job to do.
Cheers mate 👍
when you turnded it over i did not see tension puly need move good job mate
I know what them injectors are like but more to the point that is some decent welding there 😊
Cherrs mate, 👍👍 thanks
1 down, 3 to go 👍. That seems a real palaver. But that Ureaka moment once its done is awesome.
Well done mate.
There people specialise in removing these injectors that just tells you how much of a nightmare they can be
I see quotes of 1200 to £1800 for all 4 for these. It is sometimes cheaper just to buy another van these days, but the people who take these out have some patience, the pincher kit for injectors it around 3,500 to 4,000 quid 🤦♂️
@@tinker-time Christ that’s mental all to pull injectors a don’t know how much the guy a know got charged for pulling them out his but it wouldn’t have been any where near that he’d have scrapped it otherwise 😂
Yer big pulling these injectors are 200 ish each,
I've spend at the min £150 quid trying to get these out,and days make what you see, and another £50 on paracetamol!! 🤣
@@tinker-time aw fair play to you got the job done and saved your self a lot of money
Been watching these. Well done. I'm really happy you got it out👍
Cheers mate thank you 👍 just 3 more to go fingers crossed 🤞
Nice one mate….
Persistence pays , my god what a struggle…. 👍
3 more to as well, fingers crossed 🤞
Was running out of options aswell
Congratulations 🎉. Grit and determination won though 👍👍👍👍.
Fairplay Mark, great video! Perseverance pays off .
Well done Sir!
cheers mate,
Well done, mate, excellent job
Had to do a similar operation removing cylinder head from a triumph stag…..you just got to think outside the box and believe
Yer, never give up 👍👍
Brilliant performance fella
Cheers, mate 👍, 3 more to go 👍
Well done...there is nothing like that bang to cheer an old mechanic up...been there with disel bmws a greatwalls....pass the beer nuts
That was tight! Full marks for perseverance. What about the other three injectors, now you have a method?
Cheers, going to try the same way but having welded 2 up could prove abit difficult, fingers crossed 🤞
When the customer asks "why is it taking so long"!!!!
Scared the sh*t outta me when it went, well-done mate, that's what happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force, a TVP big bang.
Cheers, only 3 more to go! 👍👍
Absolutely fantastic its enough to give you hope i new you where going to do it 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi mark brilliant video , what’s the number layout on injectors from gearbox side please thankyou
Number 4 , gearbox 1 time chain cover
I drilled one out once, after that job i bought the hydraulic puller kit and the majority came out easy with it, the tell tale was if it didn’t creak on the second pump of the ram it was a snapper, i got tired of them in the end and refused to take them on 😂
I need a pincher kit, really but at 3,5k and not doing it as a job, just trying stuff that we all can get hold of, I've got a air puller but that did nothing, I seem to able to get the one with thread on the top out, ok done 5 now on my videos but these are well welded in with rust 🫤👍
@@tinker-time I couldn’t get anyone to sell me a pichler kit at the time but darwin diesels do a kit made by Tesam and they were nice enough to sell me one with all the trimmings for tapping the snapped bits and still getting them out, i think i gave £1100 ish for the lot and it never failed
Its a shame you put the vibrating thing on the engine at the same time as the jack's.
Do you think a concrete breaker in reverse would have done it or just ripped it out the thread's?
Get in there, six months of hell, and finally, you take the victory 😅
Yer got keep pushing on, was running out of ideas, but hopefully we got that will work on the rest 👍
@tinker-time I've been trying to get mine out this afternoon as my extraction kit arrived this morning, and guess what 😅 they ain't budging lol.
I have a stuck exhaust valve and don't really want to destroy and replace my fuel injectors just to take my head off the block.
@@tinker-time looking forward to seeing how the rest go 👍
@hammyzgod
I've also done a video using pneumatic air one, I use it on the other type of injector
@tinker-time yeah I watched it already just as I have all of your vids mate 👍
Gotta give it to you your one determined man 😀 I would hate to own you money 🤣🤣🤣 (Great set of vids well done)
I took the injectors out of my 33 year old Sierra a couple of weeks back, two fingers was all it needed, progress eh lol
🤣🤣🤦♂️ that when cars were put together right, not have 10 years of water pouring down onto the injectiors, mine was like a swimming pool 15mm of water sat there
It's steel in aluminium... Warm it up. Would be interesting to work out the clamping force of a 100°C temperature change.
Had a few saying warm it up, I not doing that could warp the head, mite knackered now anyway with all the force going though it 🫤
Well done that's a right result I'm well chuffed for you
Cheers, more to go ! Fingers crossed 🤞
Great we always love a win we'll done
Weld the two arm jacks together then pump is equal
Nice job
Cheers mate 👍, 3 more to go ! 👍
Well done Mark 👊💪🤓🐶🐶
Cheers mate 👍
Well done master, your kung fu is good
@harleydavidson801
👍 I used to do karate to lol
the head must of flexed a bit? great job, no other way to do it me thinks
Yer, that is a worry, and with 3 more to go as well,
Awsome...congrats fella
Cheers mate 👍
Great work 🎉
Thank you! Cheers!
Well done a lot of people would have given up
Got keep trying 👍 to many vans getting scrapped these days
Well done mate.
Cheers mate 👍
Well done 👍👍
Well done,
Cheers pal 👍
Sword in stone kind of stuff! 👌
Yer, I think I'd have more of ago to get the sword out than these 👍
Well done.
Cheers mate 👍
😂 mint effort 👍
Well done matey.
ive seen people take off the injector forks and turn over the engine and they pop out
Yer seen that to,👍 these were so stuck in the engine, like you can see,i don't think the engine wouldn't push them out,
1m into the video and i still reckon get it cherry red with an induction heater, the air injector puller!!
We had rep turn up with induction heater last month here in Spain...Renault Tragic engine sitting in corner ages...it didn't come out...I've got an apparatus I've made similar to some of 1000 euro contraptions and I've got Mercedes ones out with it..
Rust is a funny thing, thats all that holding them in, it taking some force to get these out for sure,
My mate just uses his forklift to get them out lol
ive a tractor and did have a think about it as well lol
@@tinker-time ha ha 😅probably safer the way you did it
Had a jammed injector.
Wouldnt move.
Undid the retaining bolt and plate.
Started the engine.
Revved the nuts off the engine.
It blew the injector straight out.
These are rusted to bits, it unreal that they are just rust holding them in, I hope the other 3 come out fingers crossed 🤞
Well done mate.
Cheers mate 👍
well done pal. id refuse to own a vivaro on principle that they are pieces of shat with failed design engines. but yeh well done.
Have removed lots of these - they are not nice. - drilling is sometimes the only way - I know people who have split head with the proper gear I will go so far then just go for the drilling - they dont always break in the same fashion and some dont break at all 👍
Yer drilled down a nightmare, but I had no choice as the top of the injectior rusted out, 1st time, I've done that to
@@tinker-time using the injector sleeve as a guide and going mo bigger than 18mm - dealing with the piezo stack and hydraulic amplifier can be tricky but the hydraulic puller is always your best bet
I nearly wet my trousers when the injector let go. Quite a scare.
The other video worse, they flew on that one! These jack are 12kg each aswell
Think I need to make some fly leads for them to stop fly off lol
Good job !
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯
Its like watching someone kicking a UXB. 🙂
I hope you are charging at least £60 per hour + vat for your labour.
I wish mate, Don't think I could do these for a living. They are nightmare
A full injectior removal kit would be 5k worth, it take some patience and time to get these out,
What size tap did you use on the injector?
M16x2mm pitch 👍
Well done!
Wow!
Excellent :-)
Is this a 1.9 ? ...
@@tonythorrington3740
No mate, it nightmare 2.0 , some 1.9 aren't that bad, and can come out with a good slide hammer kit,
@@tinker-timethank u ....i got 75ml across the board on a leak back test and am contemplating changing mine ...i got a 05 1.9
Think the max is 25ml for a good injector. You check with the dealer, maybe, I need to buy a 1.9 van next 👍 had one years ago. Great van, these 2.0 are not as good,
Did you soak them with penetrating fluid?
No mate, nothing getting down the side to help them out, rock soiled, some said drill some small hole then push some wd40 or something like that, to help,
Some people warm them up aswell to pull them out, but mine are welded in with rust 🫤
Wow
What a complete nightmare.
Jeepers no wonder nobody wants to touch our vivario with injector problems
take an engine from the car, swap the cam and away you go
I gotta cmax one out once... I ended up loosening the mounting clamp.. and letting it idle while I grabbed a few cups of tea.... After about 15-20 minutes you heard it "pop" and then blow like fk.... Has numerous heads off when in the dealers... Shit design!
Yer, I've heard of that too, letting them run for a bit. These are a nightmare on this engine,
@@tinker-time is it still the same as the Renault traffic ? I was a Renault master tech for a fair few year's
