Snapped an injector

[RePT]

Hello all,

Snapped a bosch injector .

Am i going to hve to replace the set? Or just get another bosch one?

[Matt]

Just get another Bosch one

[306Dan]

ouch.

you should be able in theory to swap for another bosch in good condition but the derv guys round here could give you more info

[kernow_joe]

Just chuck another in, as long as the whole set matches you'll be fine, so either 4 Bosch or 4 Lucas, either will do

Don't put Lucas injectors on a Bosch pump as they have lower break points and will inject too early iirc

[RePT]

okay dokey, where am i going to source 1 injector. Luls.

Thanks guys

Scrap yard, pocket job done.

Will run fine though, Bosch injectors are 175 Lucas are 135 but is no problem, Bosch will run better yes, I ran mine on Lucas injectors for ages.
Only saying as if you can only find a set of Lucas will be fine for abit

They sound alot better on bosch ones. The lucas ones tend to sound rattly i thought :/

[kernow_joe]

thats just an xud sound

[Toms306]

Its just a Peugeot diesel sound...can't hear my own turbo whistle over the rattly injectors on the HDi!

Are you sure they are 175?
My boach say 218 in big writing,

And either 175 or 173bar in small :/ ..i cant tell exactly

Guy at gsf said "the 2nd injector has a sensor"

Is this true?

Yours won't have the sensor on the injector, that's only for semi ecu pumps which are mainly found on the 406.

Do you have a picture? I've never seen a snapped injector lol :p

[RePT]

Do you have a picture? I've never seen a snapped injector lol :p

Nozzle snapped, housing cracked(down 27mm bit)

[Tom]

I imagined far worse haha! I want to see an injector sheard off right in the middle now lol

[kernow_joe]

I've got a set in the shed with one snapped in exactly the same way ,well the leak off part

and yeah they'll be 175bar and no they won't have any eletrics on them at all

[RePT]

Got one for £15. Awch.

I hope the diesel and turbo diesel injectors are the same!!

[Dan!]

Bad news, nad injectors are lower break pressures, ~135 I think. You could strip the injector down and shim the spring, but you'd need an injector tester to set it to the right pressure.

[Daniel306]

just use the old injector spring and make one out of the two

[RePT]

Bloody hell, Dan. Had me worried for a sec.

But yeh, as daniel said!

The guy on the phone did say they are 175bar, serials match up, and its a 218 aswell ^_^
