Symptoms
Rough idle, smoke, poor fuel economy, sludge in the intake and DPF trouble, often caused by leaking injector seat washers.
The fix, step by step
- Unsealed's advice is to replace all eight injectors with updated seat washers rather than one at a time, because single replacements often failed again within months.
- Do it under warranty where possible.
- Out of warranty, many specialists will do it for less than a dealer.
Tools & part numbers
- Workshop manual
- injector puller
- new injectors and updated washers (all eight)
- a diagnostic tool to code the injectors.
