Title: How do you get 300tdi injectors out
Post by: DEF110 on July 12, 2006, 14:39:59

How do you get 300tdi injectors out? I got the #1 injector out by twisting and prying with a screwdriver. #2 I can get it to turn but will not come up and the others will not even turn.
I thought of finding a slide hammer but how to attach it to the end.

Any help

Had the same problem with my 200tdi, i think the 300TDi is similar so could be the same thing.
There may be a build up of carbon around the injector body, at the bottom of the injector where gasses have leaked passed the copper washer.
 This will make them difficult to remove, I sprayed penetrating spray around the outside of the injector so it ran in to the head and left it for a couple of hours, that did the trick.

 Just be careful twisting them as I started unscrewing the injector body and didn't realise.

Yeah.........you must turn them clockwise and can also pry them up at the same time to help them out.
