Hard to say, depends on how badly it's leaking and how far you need to travel HARD TO SAY! The following words: Come to mind! Fire! Hydraulic! Dropped nozzle! Fire: I have seen two burnt out cars after service work at other garages to high pressure diesel system pipework. Hydraulic: I have read a report where a AA man removed the injector drive plug to diagnose a misfire and subsequently filled the cylinder up and bent a conrod. Dropped nozzle: Local Ford main dealer put a new injector in a three month old car under warranty, took it for a test drive and the injector nozzle went thru the piston. I replaced a faulty petrol injector supplied by usual crap parts,then starter clicked. Engine wouldn't turn over by hand either. Took plugs out,number two,the one I had replaced injector on,shot out a cylinder full of petrol!!! The ecp injector was just pouring neat petrol straight into cylinder!!!!! New one from gsf got car sorted. The second faulty euro shit part was inserted into...................... Sideways!!!!

Buying from Europooh.
I do it... Daily.
We re-did an in tank pump on a ford focus today, it lasted three weeks.
Customer was ringing around for the cheapest job.
I won the quote by buying the cheapest pump I could get (now I wish I didn't).
I always try and fit the best parts I can, but if it means losing the job, I will fit the shit! But in the long term? Does it pay?
I have stuck so many labour claims into Euros of late, I imagine they will stop serving me soon.

We replaced an engine ( oil starvation) During road test it ran away Strip back down to find an injector tip completely missing Another new engine/turbo/and set of injectors !

Oh and the guy has ruined his injector
I wouldn't drive it if it's pissing out
It's a real hazard for those on 2 wheels

Hello, thank you for all. Im allready back with car repaired. After my unhappy intervention, there wasnt chance to overhaul the injector in any way, even in authorised service. Although the principal problem was the copper washer at the bottom, It was neccessary to replace whole injector. The car is now running well, but Im little bit sad about all of this. It has just 118 000km... first owner... The people in service adviced me, to dont touch the rest of injectors untill they work properly... Lubo
