Injector Gasket Rings

OmahaDZL · 12-13-2016, 01:36 PM

After having a couple injectors replaced....Im still having injector codes...so Im going to swap them around and see if the codes follow the injectors... Im trying to get supplies together for this job and it looks like they want you to get 6 orings and 6 gasket rings... Im not concerned about the Orings, cuz they are rubber and easily replaced...

These gasket rings however are a different story, they look to be made of brass and are HIGH priced.... OEM price is 14 dollars each...and Im looking at needing 8 of them...(because Im assuming they crush and shouldnt be used again....so 4 for the swap of 2 injectors...and maybe 4 more to swap back)

Seems that they are limited to our injectors alone... BMW with the club discount is selling them for under 5 each... ECS sellls them for 70 bucks for a pack of 10... Has anyone seen these any cheaper?

OR, do you have any specific knowledge of these things that you can share?

Thanks
Omaha!

These?

YES!!! Those are the ones.... Fascinating how they can be $7 from one site and $1 from another. Thanks Dan!

Now...who has done injector replacement? Are these crush washer types? Gotta replace every time you tighten them down or not?

Those definitely look like crush washers.

I replaced all mine, I do believe they are crush.. I hope not to replace mine again any time soon. My back 3 werected a real PITA. The replacement set it used a bit of never seize on the rubber gasket and sleeve.. my back 3 sleeves had a Lil rust

Since you have your injectors out maybe you want to try this.http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/sh...ector-cleaning

That's not something anyone should just 'try' You can cost yourself a lot of money if you **** up.

Having had these apart before, and also considering myself a very competent mechanic, I can say with out a doubt that is not a DIY type thing.

I attempted to order from that one site and the online shipping came to like $30, when I called they said that was not right and would get back to me.

Today I called my supply house (national auto parts) and my guy found them for $1.35 each (my cost) and the rubber o ring was like $2.35 each. They will be in my hands tomorrow.

Thats great!

When I took my 4 in for testing at the diesel shop, they put 4 new ones on for me as well and charged me a pittance....so these can be got outside of BMWs unreal pricing. I know where I will be going for them in the future...that diesel shop.....

FYI they are decently generic...so just get the sizing right and you are good. Ill update this thread with what was actually on my bill when I get home.

Any chance "that diesel shop"
can be quantified with name, address, and phone number please?

Absolutely Cuda. The one that Im speaking of here in Omaha is called Diesel Specialties... http://www.dieselspecialtiesofomaha.com/ (yes it looks like a farm diesel shop, but they do all diesels....farm eqpt, semi's, pickups...etc

I will put in the specific info on the gasket when I get home....but if you are curious about the reason I pointed to this shop, please see my comment in this thread

the description of the gaskets the Diesel shop used was the following:

Chamber Gasket CDC Dodge Sprinter 1.5mm.

And the price was all of 1.56 each

OmahaDZL · 02-01-2017, 08:21 AM

Just thought I would post an update on this...

After pulling and testing 4 injectors....1 had a cracked plastic head and had fuel INSIDE the electronics head....so...that got replaced.

The other 3 tested fine, however 2 of the crush washers were not crushed. When replaced and torqued so the washer crushed...I have no codes. Car is running strong and clean...couldnt be happier. So it appears that the dodge sprinter rings worked just fine......Id say this is a part that definitely doesnt need to be BMW specific.
