fuel injectors

[catriona1]

Hello I am looking for some help with my car a Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCI I took it to the garage last week for it's mot which it failed because it was leaking diesel from the top of the engine. They put on a fuel injector repair kit (thats what it says on the bill) which I have been told means they have replaced all the seals on the injectors. I got the car back and it has lost a LOT of performance, I can get it to 60 ok but to 70 is a struggle and with my foot flat to the floor I can maybe get to 75 after at least a minute. The car never had this problem before. I took the car back to the garage and told them, after trying to fob me off they put it onto the engine diagnostics and have told me that all my injectors have gone and need to be replaced. They say this is nothing to do with anything they have done and is a coincidence. I need somebody to tell me if this is likely, I am a bit dubious that this happens after they work on it as it did not have this problem when it went in. Any help would be appreciated.

the 1.4tdci engines are bad for injector seals but thats too much of a coincidence just after having work done on them. i would seek the opinion of another garage then go back to the original garage and let them know that you intend to speak with trading standards etc.

as for the problem, im afraid its beyond my knowledge but im sure someone on here will be able to help you. welcome to the forum btw :)
