TD5 Injector

[Infiltrator]

Hi There

I am looking to get some injectors for my 2001 TD5. In looking around I have seen a few places say



Injector and fits models from chassis number 2A622424 onwards (2002 onwards).

Can I use injectors from a later model vehicle on my model or are there differences that mean they wont fit/work?

Not sure if the later model injectors will fit the earlier head -but if they do you would need to change all five and also replace the Engine ECU.

Excuse the question..

Whats wrong with the 5 injectors you have now?

They will fit but they are designed to run a higher fuel pressure, have a different camshaft, rocker shaft, timing chain set up etc etc...

They would also need coding to the ECU.

So they will fit, and they will most likely run, but I wouldn't do it as it wont be 100% happy.

Hi there

Currently there's nothing wrong with my injectors, but I know that the fuel in my area is total crap. I would be better off putting used motor oil in the tank lols.

Since I cant change their fuel, I am trying to prepare for fuel system problems before they occur.

They're pretty hardy items...

If you know the fuel is bad... Regular filter changes :cool:

Thats about all you can do...

And dont EVER use bunker fuel if offered ;)

Its my understanding that the development testing with these injectors was done using the equivalent to Kerosine.

they run fine on jet A-1, too. like tombie says if you are worried about rubbish fuel then filtration is a good start.
they are pretty forgiving injectors, a world leading design.
