Injector shagged

[shooorn94]

Car went for MOT on wednesday last week.

Car failed miserably on emissions, the o-rings on the injectors had fallen apart. Anywho they bought new o-rings and the clips for the o-ring to be held in place were damaged and the o-ring was sliding off. So I have been advised to grab 4 more injectors from citroen at £75 each.

Euro car parts can supply bosch injectors for £67.62

Anyone no a good place for a new set of injectors at a decent cost?

cheers.

another option is to buy 2nd hand. Or you can have them refurbed

True, but honest to god these injectors on the R lump are practically brand new anyway looking at them. 2nd hand I'd probably end up with a duff set tbh.

i have a set of injectors just laying around in the garage.they worked fine without issue on my old vtr

Blacktop or silvertop rail tom? Any pics and general condition? :)

I had a blacktop rail with 4 good looking injectors and gave them away the other week... like a tard.

[Sparco_Tom]

its a black top rail. they are all good

ive just got new clips and o-rings from citroen . . . £20.61.

Cheers tonto and tom.

tonto- They bought o-rings from citroen and I quote "£39" that is nearly double what you paid! :n: I feel like I'm being given the run round atm and wished I had just took the car home sorted a cheap injector rail and got a MOT off a mate down south.

Tom I'm sure the silvertop uses the same injectors as the blacktop but can this be clarified. May see if I can grab a lift to a scrappy later.

[Sparco_Tom]

think they are probably different

Ok what the injectors are missing is simply the clip at the bottom of the injector, and citroen no longer supply these apparently:

the silver bit basically

[shooorn94]

Citroen said they can supply them at 1.96 each... however there are 2 variations and they need to confirm it. So the garage is taking the injectors to citroen in a bit and seeing if they can sort a clip out.

The other set of clips will be on delivery for 48hrs time.
