The TDCi's have the same rubbish denso injectors that D4D's have,with the same catastrophic results. Pat

As reliable as a Toyota then.😳 ...but seriously, that’s not good. ...how common are injector failures in 2.2 Tdci’s?

If the problem can be attributed to injector failure, can we just replace the injectors and be done with it. For about $400/injector it's cheap insurance.

Was it an injector or MAF issue with the older Nissan ZD30's?

There was no warning with them either, just a plume of smoke and bang.

I'm looking back at the old Tdi much more fondly now!! [emoji23]

Rick they had a few issies with mafs and poor fuelling controls. I pyroed one at 860deg UPSTREAM once. No load up a moderate hill....😣

I found this article online interesting...seems balanced despite the sales pitch: Hilux Injectors and Rattles - Common Rail Diesel - Baileys Diesel Grp

Also found this: CRD Fuel Enhancer for Common Rail Engines - Cost Effective Maintenance I’m always wary of an ‘additive fix’ but would be really interested to hear the thoughts of you guys as mechanics/experts. Should we all be adding this to our fuel? As well as installing a second fuel filter?

...also interested to know, would driving style affect injector life at all? Is grandpa style putting around keeping it around 2000rpm vs drive it like you stole it 3500rpm+ ?

What is the consensus on this in general? (and given no tacho redline on Defenders, what is the redline for a 2.2 Tdci?)
