Well just taken all 4 injectors out and they look abit dirty lol, taking them to get checked and see whats going on with them. Tbh thought they would be cleaner than how they come out





Two of the copper washers didnt come out with the injectors so need to get them out at somepoint hmm

I recently replaced the injector seals on my daughter-in-law's Focus, and bought the special Sealey tool VS2054 that removes the seals if they get stuck. All the seals came out with the injectors, so I didn't need it, so it's sitting here in its box if you want to borrow it or buy it.

Just an additional bit of info.
.
When removing and replacing injectors always scrupulously clean the outer diameters and give a good smear of copper grease. This will stop later rusting and seizing in place of the injector in the head.
.
Whilst logic would question water actually getting in there to cause corrosion, actual fact of experience does prove the point.
.
I spent many hours trying to get an injector out of a late BMW and made extractor tooling with air hammer and hydraulic cylinder.

We gave up and my mate sold the car.....

Cheers for the offer Tim will give it ago with some long nose that should get the copper rings out

Will do Fred, they come out as normal but when replacing will be putting some in to help, must say wasn't expecting so much rust, the pics are from after I rubbed them down with the rag so most of the crud is removed in the pics

Just waiting back from the injector place as to what needs doing or how many have problems ( we think that one was leaking ) but we thought one glow plug was not working and it turned out to be all 4 were dud


Will update when I hear something

Had a call from my dad who has picked up the injectors and they are ( spot on ) They cleaned them and tested and all 4 are reading/testing as perfect, so unless the cleaning has sorted them out im at abit of loss still as to why the trucks been starting like crud Guess will have to wait for them to be refitted to see if its any better

So far that's diagnostic test didn't bring up anything, 4 brand new glow plugs and new seals for intake manifold, 4 cleaned and tested injectors ( to be refitted and started )

Have checked the air filter which was fine ( wasn't long fitted in a service before I got the truck ) same with the fuel fitter also new on the service, all pipes and such have been checked, also no air in the lines

Will update once refitted and tested on a cold start

Update

Well after a few cold starts the problem is still there

Picked up some EGR cleaner from Halfords earlier and sprayed that in and well on the drive after a lot of shoot/smoke come out so hopefully that cleaned something lol the guys in the van behind me at the lights were laughing as they could not see anything!

If I ever find the problem will be sure to say ( though doubtful ) Maybe getting the software updated is the only other thing to try

Cheers
