Great video - clear presentation, only essential parts shown, good tips and no silly chatter🤩
Thank you mate appreciate that 👍
How much charge 4 injector cleane vito 2007 2.2 diesel
How can connect
Great video and some brilliant tips…especially making a tap from the old bolt..clever 👍
Hey Robert thank you for the comment 👍
Awesome video bud. Just done cyl #4 on my prefacelift. This guide was invaluable, even though I have the earlier injectors.
Thanks very much for the help. 💪🏻
Ah mate really appreciate that 👍 glad the video is useful and that you fixed yours. Thank you 🙏
Awesome job and a very fair price. Thanks for the tip on making a groove on one of the old screws. That one was genius.
Hey bud thank you appreciate that and glad the video is useful 👍
Thank you for sharing this with everyone. Really good advice.
Hey bud thank you appreciate that 👍
Fantastic tips even though I've done these before. I will be using you as reference again. Thank You.
Really appreciate that mate 👍 I’m glad the video is of use.
Just shown my dad this video…. He does not give praise easily and whipped out a top tier compliment of “this guys alright”… if u knew my old Man U would know how good that is 😂😂😂
Hey Mr white massive welcome to the channel. oh mate I’m well happy with that. Tell your pops thank you and hopefully the rest of my work or videos are of the same standard. Comments like yours inspire me to keep making videos. Thank you 🙏
Big thanks from Finland. Great vid and helped me a lot. Changed all four.
Hey roippis big welcome to the channel 👍 really happy my video came to some use. Thank you for the comment.
Thanks for uploading mate!
I’ve got a saga going on with my vito, paid someone to do this job and it’s been back 4 separate times with leaks and problems.
He’s finally replaced the injectors with new ones as was first agreed upon but the third injector is now leaking.
A nightmare, hopefully now I can fix it myself.
Cheers
@ben salter hey bud welcome to the channel. Oh no what a pain, if the threads ain’t cleaned out properly then leaks can come back soon after. Drop me a message on here if you get stuck with anything 👍 thank you
@@YTDTETV cheers brother!
All sorted now thankfully! Only thing I did different was I put the hardline back on the injector but upwards and used that as a bit of a handle to yank it out. Your idea with the screwdriver to get the seal out worked a f-ing treat too!
Nice clear video on the job, although it's worth mentioning that if the cosmetic/sound-deadening cover has been on over a chuffing injector then the carbon build up can be HUGE, to the point I've just had to excavate carbon mass from above the top of the injector, which is why I've heard this issue described as the 'black death'.
Oven cleaner was pretty effective at clearing the remains of the carbon out from around the head once I'd chipped and ground the mass of it away.
Hi bud welcome to the channel 👍 yes I’ve hear it called the Black Death to, that’s a good tip about the oven cleaner as I’ve also heard that but never tried it. Niceone 👍
I had a severe case of Black Death on my Vito. Ended up having all new injectors, head and engine loom where it was all crusted thick. My poor mechanic spent hours getting all the black carbon out. Great to see the process that goes into the job.. 👍
Great vid, I have to tackle a Vito and replace all 4 seals. This has really helped :-)
Hey David welcome to the channel and thank you for the comment glad the video helped 👍
brillaint video!! im going to look at a vito in the week and hope the garage let me have a poke aorund and check the injectors!
Hey bud welcome to the channel, thank you for the comment 👍. If your injector are not leaking yet then I have a tip. If you tighten the injector clamp bolts before they leak then that saves them. You will be surprised how loose they become overtime as the the injector seal crushes down. You might get a full 90degree turn on them.
Thank You Sooo much ...amazing ...Leak off pipes are very delicate
Hey Bryan welcome to the channel, no problem at all my pleasure 👍. Yes leak off pipes are delicate I broke a few in my earlier days.
Much thanks from 🇦🇺
Love a good rewatch ❤
Niceone sham couple of videos very soon 👍
@@YTDTETV patiently waiting
Not much space and I thought my sprinter 2.7 was bad, Nice job, thanks. I'm guess 2 years later it's now £200 to £250.
It was abit of a squeeze but luckily all came out ok, i havnt done another one since but yes probably a few quid more 👍
Very informative.. thanks
That’s a brilliant vid mate 👍🏽, just doing this on my Vito injector 4 is being a pig but the engines out so at least I can get at it ..lots of top tips , have subbed .. thanks
Hey Glenn.. thanks fir the comments glad the info has come in useful, if you havnt got it out yet just spray something round it to loosen it up, wiggle side to side while pulling and it should come out 👍. Remember to clean the bolt clamp holes, as in the vid cut a groove in the bolt and it works as a tap.
@@YTDTETV yep did all that and out she came , took about a hour and a half .. with a tea break obviously … three essential tools for the job .. patience , patience and patience … start putting it all back together tomorrow …
@@Chain21SAW good job and yes patience is key to being a good mechanic, tea break always helps 👍
@@YTDTETV quick question .. is it possible to get replacement union for the top of injector ? It’s been cross threaded by a previous and weeps a bit . It the connection to the injector from the fuel feed ... otherwise I’ll rob one from an old injector ... oh yeah and another quick question 😉 does replacing one injector need the computer re programming or will it learn ? I’ve done on a berlingo van no probs but they’re Not German .. no rush to reply mate ,whenever you’ve time .. thanks a lot and good luck
@@Chain21SAW I’ve just had a little look on eBay for ya and I can’t see anyone that sells them individually but that’s not to say you can’t, you might need to phone a diesel specialist in your local area as I’m sure you could get one there. I’ve seen them leak before, on some fords you can only do the fuel line up once and then to replace an injector you need to replace the hard fuel line to the pump, but that is only on fords. Yes you would need to recode a new or used injector, if you havnt got the diagnostics to do it just write down or take a close up picture of all the numbers on the top of the injector and phone round a few local backstreet type garages and I’m sure some will do it for you. You will be able to drive the motor to them but it would definitely run a lot better once done 👍👍
Excellent video well done
Thank you mate appreciate that 👍
Good work , exactly how I’d do the procedure apart from I find the torque setting on most diesel injectors isn’t sufficient, you had torque setting and angle so is ok , but on the diesels with just a torque setting I find small rachet and nip up snug so you can feel copper washer compressing works for me , with around 8nm alone it doesn’t seal properly just leaks in my experience, but yeah like I say good informative work considering these can really go bad when they want to I’ve seen a £2000 v6 both heads off jobbie when they really go bad the once
Hey Lewis thank you mate I appreciate that 👍 your right about to torque on most injectors it’s way to vague, a small ratchet is definitely the way to go.
Top work and reasonably priced
Thank you mate 👍 appreciate the comment.
Great informative vid. How do you rate these earlier vitos compared to a vw t5? They seem like a good alternative if you buy carefully.
Hey bud thank you, I actually really
Like the vitos, the early ones did rust abit bust these slightly later ones are brilliant very good engine and auto box’s and they look good to 👍
Great Video - Thanks
Very informative indeed thank you
Thank you 🙏 appreciate the comment
3 different garages have tried to release my injectors with no luck so on to garage 4
Hopefully they get them out 👍
great video. When torqing the injector bolts, what does tighten 2x90degrees mean, is that 180degrees after 7nm?
awesome 👏 good work 👍
Thank you mate glad the video helped 👍
Great job, amazing dedication and knowledge.
Where are you based?
I have a injector leaking, copper washer... Mercedes Vito 2015.
Can't find anyone that will do it....
Hi bud thank you 👍 appreciate the comment. I’m in deal in Kent, is a common problem I’m surprised you can’t find anyone to help.
My vito 115 cdi had two injectors stuck. And stuck! With special tool to push it out, a lot of pressure was needed!
Hey rem some injectors do get very stuck, I’ve heard of merc injectors being slightly bent causing them to stick in. Well done for getting them out 👍
Fantastic video! What computer do you recommend to code the injector? Does it need to be a full star machine?
Hi mate, brilliant video and top tips 👌🏽 I need to do my 115cdi. When you clean the seat where the washer sat or still is seated.. How do you stop the filings from falling into the chamber? Cheers
Hi bud thank you 👍 with regards to cleaning the seat it should only be carbon build up that would falls into the cylinder and that will burn away almost instantly once first started. I’ve changed many injectors and plenty of carbon drops in there and just start the engine, you will get a little bit of smoke for a few seconds then it burns off I’ve never had a problem.
@@YTDTETV Thanks for the advice, I look forward to doing the job now 😂 I have changed seals on a VW caddy as the idling was irradic and it had problems starting, never had the tar build up so exciting new territory 🙏🏽
@@nicholasloubser5663 no problem happy to help 👍 I need to do the seals in my caddy. I always say with any job take your time and you’ll be ok.
@@YTDTETV 🙏🏽 totally agree
Do you still do this as a service? Where abouts is your garage?
Hi. Thanks for the video. I’ve broken off a bolt that holds the injector clamp,whilst trying to clean out the thread. Do I need to take the head off now and if so are there any videos on you tube? Cheers G
Hi George oh that’s a pain in the backside, Erm yes a tap would have been better than a bolt as the debris does t have anywhere to clean into with a bolt. If there’s no thread sticking out to get hold of it might be a case of getting the head off unfortunately.
sick video
Niceone Rory appreciate that 👍
Excellent video very helpful. I have a question can you re use the stretch bolts again and the torque is 7nm and this bit I want to confirm 90 degrees turning twice on each injector ? I look forward to hearing from you thanks mk
Hey bud thank you appreciate that, for how cheap they are I would stick new ones in the do stretch a lot.
Hi is the torque for the stretch bolts 7nm by 90 degrees turning twice is that correct?
Really good video. Donthe injectora have a rubber aeal half way up?
Hi bud I can’t actually remember but it doesn’t do much sealing as this engine has a sealed rocker cover so all a seal half way down would do would keep any moisture from seeping down. Thanks for the comment 👍
Hi, this is a great video,this helped a lot, managed to change seals, only problem since doing this the van will not start after going for a run. After leaving the van standing for while it starts fine, any idea what this problem could be. ie could it be fuel stop valve.
Hi bud thank you did you solve this
no luck yet
cracking video budd, my vito needs this job doing whereabouts in the uk are you, id definitely bring it to u if ur near me, im in the Midlands near Coventry 👍🏽
Hi Maff thank you sir really appreciate that 👍 I’m in deal in Kent.
gutted bit far for me to travel 🤦♂️🤦♂️ lol.. 👍
Hi mate. I just done mine today following your advice from the video. Now the engine will not start. Will run only on easy start. Also got a fault on scanner.. crank shaft sensor position a. Do you reckon using all the chemicals staff used to clean the black death destroy the sensor? Or where to look to sort this issue.? Thank you
Hi bud crank shaft sensor isn’t near the injectors so wouldn’t have thought the cleaner has damaged it, when trying to start the engine does the Rev counter go up? Have you located the sensor just to confirm it’s plugged in? Let me know I’ll try my best to help.
Merc used stupidly skinny hold-down bolts on these. They're too light. Chances are when you try remove them, they snap - same as why they don't impart enough clamping force on the injector seals - bad design. The fact its a steel bolt going into an ally hole also means they chemically bond together - more snapping.
Removing stuck injectors on these, the last thing you want to do is pull - pulling is a waste of time. Don't pull on these - slam them sideways if they're stuck - same applies to any stuck injector - grab a heavy hammer and a 1/2" extension bar - put the bar onto the side protrusion of the injector & hammer it around - 1mm of movement is enough. Then hammer it back the other way - the carbon bond is brittle, so you want to smash it, not pull it. Hammer it to & fro a few times, spray it with WD40, leave it sit - go get a cuppa, 90 out of 100, when you come back, they pull out by hand.The internet will show you fancy pullers - you don't need them.
Now the injector hold-down bolts, they're a whole 'nother story - you're left with the broken off nub of the bolt buried in the head - unless you get that out, it's a head off job - which is Effort. But there is a way to get them out, in a way that you can just insert a new bolt into the factory thread.. The entire injector removal procedure on these is a black art - they are an utter sod of bad design - but there are ways to cope.
Great video, might need to bring you my Vito for a tune up! I keep getting egr errors but my previous mechanic had cleaned it out and found no problem with it so wonder if it's the mass air flow sensor? Cheers
Hi Alex.. sometime egr’s are past cleaning and need to be replaced. A bad maf sensor will cause similar issues for sure. Thanks for the comment 👍
I've gor exactly same issue. Egr is extremely clean. I just clear the codes every few months when it comes back.
@Jay Heisenberg I did get my EGR replaced in the end with a reconditioned one. It's been perfect since with a new propshaft too. Shame the rust is so bad on it now though. Just spent quite a few hundred on welding sills and wheel arches and sliding doors. But it's an old Vito so what you gonna do 😃😅
Got my Vito booked in for this job, hopefully they're as competent as you.
I noticed the van in the video was a bit slow starting, just like mine...what's the likely cause of this?
Thank you mate appreciate that 👍 I’d put money on the starter motor being tired. They fill up with dust etc then turn over slower. A real old school mechanic would take it off take it apart clean and re assemble and would turn over as normal.
top vid, what was that cleaner you mentioned? super crack?
Hey bud thank you, yes I just searched eBay for INJECTOR CRACK and it was the top one. Isn’t the cheapest £15 a tin but it cleaned up the back tar good.
hey mate, got any tips for cleaning out all the carbon that drops in the cylinders, tried my best but some still went in cheers
Hi bud so any fluids that drain into the cylinder while cleaning will just burn off soon as you fire it up. I bet the cleaner you’ve used is flammable so it won’t be a problem. I’ve had bits of carbon all sorts fall in and they just fire straight up.
I have the Black Death on my w211 e 220 07 plate and we done everything like in your video but when all put together the 2nd injector where was the problem initially still leaking .. all cleaned properly,greased,new washers .. but we read needs 70Nm +one 90’ not two like u mention here.. could be this the reason it’s still leaking ? Thank you for your video
Hey bud so sorry for the delay did you fix this? I’ve heard of injectors being slightly bent causing them to leak even with a new washer.
Hi!
Ive just left it with a good Romanian mechanic that said it’s not big deal for him 😳 as he seen much worse than mine and he olso said that probably needs cutting the injector seat ,the car is with him now
@@adolfodominguez2631 hey bud hopefully he sorts it for you 👍
An update: he fixed it for me !he said we done the hard work only thing left was to cut the injector seat
Thank you for your video!!
@@adolfodominguez2631 hey bud sorry for the delay, happy days glad you got it fixed 👍
Hi mate, I need this on my vito, can I bring it to you?
Hey bud thank you for the offer but I’m a little pushed for time and other work at the moment I’m sorry.
Hello, where are you in the UK?
Hi stelian I’m in Kent, near dover. Thank you 👍
Hi mate got a rear wheel Vito where abouts is the crank sharft senor please
Hi bud welcome to the channel, it should on the bottom of the front of the engine just above the sump it gets its signal from the flywheel so it will be in the block close to the gearbox. Probably buried on a RWD.
Takk!
Where are you based mate I need my seals done .? Thanks 👍
Hi bud sorry for the delay, I’m in deal in Kent 👍
hello mate i have a 2008 vito taxi and my injector 3 is kicking off when these are changed do they need coding on the w639 111 model
thanks
Hi bud yes I’m pretty sure merc injectors need coding, you would be able to fit it then drive somewhere to have it coded. Only take 2 minutes with a computer.
@DTE TV thanks mate I took the airbox off this morning to inspect the fuel injector 3!!! I notices that the bottom turbo pipe had come loose, so I losing it off and refitted the pipe and secured it fairly tight. now this seems to have cleared the fuel injector fault. but i im worried the damage is already done now because its noisy when idle also there is hardly any power when driving off but when it does get going it can get to 4000 rpm before it will change gear
Hi, I have a vito that doesn't want to open injectors and the fuel pump doesn't bring fuel at all, I live in South Africa and I cant seem to get the right people to fix my car, Can you suggest anything I can do, Please help
Hi Nicholus big welcome to the channel, if the pump isn’t pumping fuel to the injectors the first thing is the fuel filter either replace or clean it. I just been on Google for you and looking to see if your model has an in tank electric fuel pump. You could either have a faulty in tank pump or it’s possible the mesh,gauze,filter in the fuel tank is clogged up. I’ll do my best to help 👍
@@YTDTETV I will do that and get back to you, I’ll check on it and clean it,
@@nicholusmawethuntsodoka-ts3062 there might be an access hole inside the van to get to the top of the tank, let me know if I can help anymore 👍 if you have a spare minute and can share my video if you have social media. Good luck with the van.
How much did it cost for a client? I have the same issue
£40-£50 and injector 👍
Hello mate, are you able to carry this out for me if I bring my Vito to you? Thanks
Hi there sorry for the delay, where abouts are you located?
@@YTDTETV I’m in the Windsor, Berkshire area. I don’t mind travelling a little bit for proper work.
@@Thecanineschool it is something I can do I’m in deal in Kent so I am a distance away from you.
Good price that 👌
Niceone Stefan some come out in 5 minutes some a little longer so some injectors I earn alright and some I do really well.
Where are you located?
Sorry for the delay I’m in Kent.
My seals was done in 2019 and now I hearing the chuff again. So soon ?
Hi, was all 4 deals changed or did they only do the 1?
@@YTDTETV Hay. All 4 were done. Broke down today because of fuel issue and when car was started I noticed a chugging and I was like oh that's new. I'm always listening for new sounds.its a 2010 viano with 367 thousand miles on it so been around a fair bit.
@@Annoyingirl221 blimey that is high miles, merc do know how to make a good engine thow. Surely you would have noticed the noise before breaking down so maybe it’s not the injector seals. An exhaust leak can sound similar when it’s close to the engine or out the turbo. Maybe have a poke around while it’s running and see if you can locate it.
@@YTDTETV yeah and drives like a dream. Just had mot 2 days ago and flew through with no advisories which was a treat.. yeah it broke down because it ran out of fuel. Diesel 2.2 auto. Yeah I will have a deeper look tomorrow and really do hope it's just a hole in exhaust. Sounds just like a steam train puffing.
@@Annoyingirl221 sorry for delay bud, I reckon if it was as chuffing injector the mot man might have mentioned. Let me know how you get on 👍
Could you do mine for me?
Hi there I can’t help at the moment I’m sorry
OM651 worst engine mercedes ever made... many upset owners when things go wrong.. keep away from a high miler... mark my word.
Just checked mine its like tar right peed off 😭
Hey bud welcome to the channel, yes if it’s been left a while it builds up like tar. If you change them while the engine is warm it’s easier to get them out. The tar stuff chips off easy when cold. Just spend an hour with a flat head screw driver chipping away at it.
Cheers for the reply ,started scrapping with small flat head but all the wires are covered so i stopped in case snapped some ,might have take it to merc garage for a quote 😡
@@gdhs021 no worries you can get stuff in a can called “injector crack” it desolves the tar then wipes off for delicate areas.
@@YTDTETV cheers mymate 👍
Ive had to change my return fuel pipe as it was so stuck and brittle it broke the plastic bits bought a new one off ebay but it wont push in to the female part,the end washer seems bigger than the original one bought one from merc which was bigger than the original one and still wont go in do i need a special tool to push or pull in ?
Yr to cheap mate£40 an unjecter is not enoough
Hey Terry a few people have said that, I can normally get an injector out in 5-10minutes so for time wise it’s not to bad.
