    300 TDI injector pipes

    After 450k I cracked an injector pipe , replaced it with a made up one from a fuel injection shop in Albany , with the warning , get a genuine one soon, as he didnt expect it to last too long .
    Couldn't find genuine so got a set of after market ones which are cracking after aprox 20k .
    Am I doing something wrong ? Is there a knack to fitting them properly ?
    Please help

    injector lines

    vibration is what makes them break, make sure all the small clamps and rubber pads are secured properly.

    Had one of mine go also. Replaced with one I had made up. It did not last. Got genuine one from the uk which cost plenty but not a problem since. As others said make sure you have all the correct clamps to reduce vibration.

    I am nobodys expert but I have been told that Land Rover use a higher pressure system than most, could this be why non genuine pipes can't handle it ?

    It was a few years ago so I can't be sure but I think I actually ended up getting it from land rover who ordered it from the uk. Hence the big dollars. I think it was a few hundred.

    Maybe you could aneal the after market ones before you fit them.
    Then they may last a lot longer. A lot of steel seems to be cold worked today and fractures easily..so anealing may take the stresses out of them.

    I was told genuine were not avaliable .
    I wondered about annealing , must be worth a try .
    Thanks for the comments.
