Injector no 5

richy_335d · 04-20-2016, 07:31 AM

my 335d cut out on me today and wouldn't restart at the 1st attempt. Ok at the second and idles fine but as soon as you accelerate it cuts out. Managed to limp home. Used Icarly to find injector no 5 fault code. Read up a lot about once one goes generally the others do as well. Anyone else changed theirs and what was the best price you found for them?

Thanks in advance

quick update, i've removed the intake manifold and managed to remove the injector. Rang a local company who have quoted £195 plus the vat for a new one. Have to bite the bullet. Will just replace the one and see how I go. Fingers crossed number 4 doesn't go next

On the plus side it's forced me into doing the list of jobs I was putting off.

Have replaced all the vacuum lines for 3mm silicone ones, removed swirl flaps and seals, replaced all 6 glow plugs and the relay, just the main stat and egr stat to replace now and fingers crossed it will start up ok when I fit the new one on Monday
