Title: Turbo Diesel Injector
Post by Matt on Nov 1^st, 2011, 11:44am

Here is an Injector from the VM lumps stripped down,

you would not believe the amount of dirt that was inside it!

If the admins dont mind could they leave this unlocked for time being as i'll be doing the 1st injector with the lift sensor on to later in the week

Does this mean that #1 injectors can be cleaned up and refitted? Mine is not working, fault code P1225, but if I could save £90 buying one from Sipke's Scorpios I'd be happy....

The spare I have was working well but when I took it off my old Scorpio I damaged the wire and ended up cutting it. Unfortunately both wires in the black sleeve are the same colour so I don't know which way round to reconnect them, or if it makes any difference. I'm worried that if I get it wrong it could damage the electrics.

That's why I'm interested in cleaning up the faulty one that on my current car.

And Number one

as you can see the dome has a needle on the back of it, this is what the little sensor is picking up

Again full of dirt

Good pic's Matt. I'll have a go at the one with the busted wire before attempting the one on the car.
Fingers crossed....

Cheers,

Steve

Quick update,

been doing some digging and it would appear that the injectors ive shown have been played with in the past (they came out of a jeep!)

the round 'crimped' bit is in the wrong location on both pics, it should be at the end between the inside of the bottom casing and before the needle valve body

Cheers Matt, I've been away for a bit but hope to dismantle my old injector this weekend. I'll post a photo when it's done for comparison.

I'll try to get a clearer photo later.

#1 is the crimped washer - it looks like it only fits one way round but fell out as I stripped the casing..... there's a raised ridge one one side and a groove on the opposite. Maybe thats the way it gets squashed and it doesn't really matter.

#2 is the plunger for the sprint - mine has a flat on the end of the shaft but there's no flat in the body of the injector, just a round hole. Again, maybe it's not important.

I'm hoping to unscrew the top off the injector fitted to my car, extract the bits, clean them up and re-fit without having to remove the plug from the block. Just the fuel pipes to disconnect and fingers crossed.
If it is full of gunk that may be the cause of the problem with fault code P1225.
