Part: Fuel injectors

Video tutorial

In this video, we will see how to remove the injectors from a 1.6 HDi engine: first, we need to turn the fuel pipes to disconnect the fuel supply to the injector, then using a 7mm socket, unscrew the top part of the injector. To remove it, we will need a crowbar or a similar tool, and although it may seem impossible for such a tool, it must be used gently.

Once loosened, you can pull them out with your hands, applying a certain amount of force. Be careful to ensure that the copper washer comes out with the injector.
