Thread: How difficult to change injector seals in TD5?

Its pretty easy really.

These are them:



Remove rocker cover
unplug injector loom
Unbolt saddle clamp holding down injector



Using a small "L"shaped lever of some sort, prise out injector (I used a long allen Key)



Remove seals from Injectors (o'ring and copper washer) - be careful removing the copper washer that you dont damage the sealing face on the injector.





Fit new seals



refit



repeat for 5
refit loom
refit rocker cover

Now THAT, is an answer!

Part No.s, Process, Pictures......it doesnt get any better than that.

Is it worth getting the injectors "cleaned" and/or tested whilst they are out?

Mods, please put this straight into the good oil! Suggest you change the thread title to "How to Change TD5 Injector seals".

Thanks mate, this helped me a great deal especially using an allan key as a lever.

Question: Can you clean these injectors in an ultrasonic bath like most injectors?
Thanks

A quick note that the pics here are with the camshaft removed and that with the camshaft still in place (ie head not coming off) I have found the injectors are a little bit more fiddly to lift out as the camshaft can get in the way. Just requires a little more patience and care.

cheers

All good presuming your head is not crackedHopefully the seal/o ring change will fix the problem.

can I remove the injectors without removing the camshaft?

I am replacing the copper washers and orings.
More importantly, can I refit them without having to slacken anything off, I really dont want touch anything I dont have to.

Maybe I just meant the rocker shaft
