TDV6 Injectors

[Ean Austral]

G'day All,

Anyone had their injectors overhauled or replaced ? If so where did you get it done or source the new ones.

Cheers Ean

I have had to replace them, round $500 ea (or less at the moment) from U.K suppliers.
Siemens/VDO/Continental for most models, the later D4 went to a Bosch (made in ex-soviot cheapocran)

although try United Fuel Injection down here in Perth W.A (great eastern hiway) I use them for a lot of "need it right now" type jobs and they always come up with the good at a good price.

Maybe try some cost effective maintenance treatment. They are happy to take a call to discuss options for your particular problem.

Out of interest, why are you replacing them all? From what i've heard, most people looks for injector balancing offset figures on the IID tool and see which one needs to be replaced.

If you decide to go down the injector cleaner route instead (if the figures aren't that bad), I would give caution, I've destroyed fuel lines in the past by using that stuff.

There's kits available that inject the cleaner straight into the rail, bypassing the fuel lines you eliminate internal corrosion, i'd be looking into those instead after what i went though.

I'm at 240K kms with original injectors so jw.

The JLR injector numbers don't co-relate the IID tool and cylinder numbers, so you'll need to use the attached document to figure out what's what. TDV6 numbering_new.pdf

Basically if you enter the IID tool order as follows 362514, you get:
3 6
2 5
1 4

You'll be looking at the engine layout with 1 and 4 being the front.

i have just replaced both low and high pressure fuel pumps , the car now has a new fault which is showing low injector pressure but only when hitting 3500RPM. The local Indy up here suggested that maybe have an injector issue which i am struggling to see it will be an injector but thought I would try and get an idea on if people have sourced locally or from UK

i myself think it a fault with the new HPFP but I am not doing the job and I base that only on what I have read .

Rimmer Bros out of the UK have OEM injectors at very reasonable prices, for some reason injectors for cylinders 3 and 5 are twice the cost as for the rest. They include the fuel pipe, crush seal washers and injector clamps. I priced all 6 at one time late last year, was about $2500 all up from memory.

Not too bad if you consider that TLC-200 series injectors are $1200 each, and it's a V8....

Others on here have replaced just the fuel pipes and crush washers (when replacing cracked inlet manifolds), as these washers are single use and will leak if re used.

I spoke with Bunbury injector service, they told me that the injectors are not serviceable.

I also doubt injectors, what all 6?? pfft.

*Has the fuel pressure sensor on the passenger side rail been replaced?
*Is your engine orig Land Rover or a Territory engine (i just cant remember mate).
*When they replaced the HPFP did they do up the retaining nut for the belt drive gear?
*Did they take a PSI reading for fuel delivery for the low pressure pump? specs I think says 5 psi, most good ones I see 8 psi
