Leaking Injector Seal Replacement Ford / Peugeot / Citroen Diesel TDCI HDI

- In this video I remove diesel injectors, replace seals and refit to engine.
The vehicle had issues with blowing combustion gas past the injector seal and out around the injector, reducing compression and leaving carbon deposits.
This style of injector is common in a lot of ford and PSA diesel engines and the process is roughly the same.
Parts used:
Injector seal kit - ebay.us/wSq7GJ
Special tools:
Injector seat cleaning kit - ebay.us/XAjN52
Torques:
Injector nuts - 6Nm +65degs (I used 15Nm instead, follow at your own risk)

Thanks Tom, the link to the cleaning kit is very important, I diy the 4 injectors for the first time, on the 8 valve 1.6 tdci Ford DV6C, and cleaning the bore is essential, I think. After pulling out the injectors, there was crud in the bore.Everything worked out just fine, the injectors I pulled them out by hand, after 240 k kilometers, they did need programming, but hey,that's just fine. Well done !
do you have to reprogramme the injectors if they are the original injectors? even if they go back in the original locations they were pulled from? last diesel i DIY'ed was a 2007 Vaux veccy :)
Excellent video, very clear and good view well explained. Thank you.
Beautifully done and thorough job.
Thanks!
Thanks Tom; most helpful!
Thanks Tom! Will attempt this in my Peugeot 2.0 diesel as I've noticed smoke coming out. There was a small puddle of oil around the top of two of the injectors.
Same thing for me , does it cause engin light ?
@@abdotouil1664 it didn't for me. Just noticed the puddle and some smoke.
Thanks! Same engine in my 2008 Mini Clubman Cooper D
And my Volvo v70!
Great video. Thank you!
Excellent
great one, thx
Please tell me you live near Northamptonshire, I really need my injectors doing on my Alfa? Could you please let me know ?
Only on TH-cam channels injectors go easilly out with moving a bit with fingers while in reality total other story so peoples be aware what you watching because many here just insert them after they already are pulled and then they record videos how it is easy !! if that was so easy tools for remove injectors would not exists and costs hundreds of euros
I was very lucky with these, none seized and I filmed the genuine removal. I've had success removing seized ones with a 13mm spanner on the injector feed nut twisting the injector in the port whilst pulling up by hand. If that doesn't work, slide hammer away!
@@ToolTimeWithTom i am very unlucky because seems that previous owner never changed seals so seems i will must remove all upper cover of engine because its not possible to remove injectors without broke them
Good luck, I hope it works out for you! Could try turning the injector in the port as I mentioned above, that's helped in the past
i have too less space for serious maneuvre so taking behind of injectors that cover will give me more space for wrench @@ToolTimeWithTom
Hi, great video thanks for the upload. My leak off pipe connectors seem to be sitting very loosely, I see your using a spanner to tap yours in gently. Is this common when changing the little green O-rings as mine don't seem to want to connect at all? TIA
They normally need a little tap but use a little bit of oil on the o-rings otherwise they'll tear
@@ToolTimeWithTom thanks 👍, used your method, worked out.
Glad to hear it!
Is it leaking oil now?
Great clear video, thank you. What about depressurizing the high pressure fuel lines. Can I assume(don`t like this word 😆) that once the car is switch off, the pressure in the fuel lines subside ??
Never safe to assume anything!😂 On petrol cars sometimes I remove the fuel pump fuse and crank it over to relieve the pressure, something similar would work on diesel I assume. Either that or release the fitting very slowly with appropriate PPE on at your own risk
@@ToolTimeWithTom Thx Tom. Will try your advise. Forgot to mention it is a 1.6 TDCi Fiesta
...mia Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi 109 CV del 2009 con all'attivo 427.000 km e mai mai un problema mai ....auto con motore eccezionale!!!!
Hi, at 11:12 I've seen that you already put the injector seals on the injector and you put the injector in the hole while the seals are on it! Is that correct way to do? I have seen in other videos that first the seals are placed at their location and after that the injectors are mounted!
You can do it either way, it doesn't really matter, I found it easier to mount the seal on the injector and drop it in together because then you're not having to line the seal up with the injector hole in the head
Good
Thanks Tom. How many hours it toke you to perform that?
I think this was about 60-90 minutes if you're going at an easy pace. If the injectors are stuck in the head it will certainly take longer!
PPE?...
What were the symptoms of this i have a nemo 1.3 hdi and it hunts at idle for a minute or so and sometimes takes a long time to fire up like a long crank situation 😎
It's possible, best thing to do is have a look around the injectors for any diesel or sooty carbon build up
Hi Tom,
Does a leaking seal cause lots of black smoke from exaust when engine is revved up?
I'd more expect a leaking or faulty injector rather than the seals
The link for the injector seal kit is gone, angbody have a link?
It was a generic kit from eBay, there's quite a few on there, should be quite easy to source
Dose it work same way on 1.3hdi
Yes, should be similar
Thank you so much.Great teaching video. I asked a garage for the price of the labor: £300! Another one was guessing this can get really nasty. I have one leaking in exactly same place (No 2) for my Focus TDCI 2010.I wanted to give this to a guy that has done this before but I cant afford to pay the kind of money they ask..I will try to clean the one which is leaking..If it goes well I do the rest. If not I just leave it. Also I was just to replace the o-ring on the returns (the seal is cheap) .Can this help? Thanks again.
It won't be the return causing the carbon build up, will be the copper washer at the bottom. The worse the leak is the harder the injector is to remove.
you didnt set the black seal first in the body and then put the injector. how do you know that the black seal is in its place
It should sit flush, the injector and bracket can spin until it sits on the studs, you can tap the seal into place or press it in by hand
Hello I cleaned and replaced my seals and injectors out all together and went for a drive and seems to run lumpy any ideas anyone
Did you clean the sealing surface in the injector port ?
@@ToolTimeWithTom no couldn't get them seals out so left them
They injectors might not be sealing against the old copper washers or there could be air in the fuel system somewhere
@@ToolTimeWithTom I replaced maf sensor which was bad fuel filter and still when driving it's like a wheel balancing shake but just had two new tyres and all wheels balanced
Sorry what torx number ?? 🙏🙏
7
Why so poor? I had 7 cars in my life lucky never had one injector problem. I was quite shocked to watch this video. PSA need to fix this awful issue.
They get a lot worse than this! PSA design is very poor, you should have seen the last one I did!
