HDI Injectors
Posted: Mon Feb 07, 2011 7:56 am
Can anyone tell me if the injectors in a 406 HDI are the same as on a Picasso HDI ?
Was doing a bit of MOT work on my sister in-laws car yesterday which has just failed on emissions (amongst other things) and noticed one of the injectors is leaking. Not sure if it's the seat seal or the injector itself and was thinking of just changing the whole thing with one from a scrap car, however Picasso's are as rare as rocking horse s*%t at my local breakers and wondered if the engines were the same as a 406.
The picasso has clamps to hold the injectors but my D8 are screw in, is this the same on all HDI's ?
To be truthful she's run it into the ground so I'm looking for a cheap fix to pass MOT and then she's going to sell it on.
Thanks in advance
A little side note the drop links had gone again even tho they were only 12 months old and not surprisingly when the new ones arrived they were exactly the same as the ones I fitted to my 406. So it's not just us 406 drivers living with this problem!!!!!
