Needspeed Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Hi been told I have knackered injectors. Plugged into forscan but no codes do these figures look correct for a 1.8 tdci 2009 thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatHead1979 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I'm sure that some of the more technically knowledgeable chaps will be along later to confirm but I would have thought that the injectors should have fairly similar readings to each other and that clearly isn't the case in your screenshots. There is also a well known issue with the injectors that Siemens supplied to Ford in 2009 (mainly), basically they were crap and failed a lot earlier than normal. If you search the Focus section you should be able to find out more info on the issue fairly easily. (Ford used the same crappy injectors in other models with the 1.8 TDCI engine but the Focus was sold in much greater numbers so it "appears" to be the main model affected). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isetta Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 i assume someone told you the injectors are knackered when diagnosing a problem. what was the problem? also, i doubt if all of the injectors would have gone at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needspeed Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Problems are there noisy , and got a judder at 2k rpm on steady throttle , judder clears if I accelerate out of it , seem worse when car has warmed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis the meance Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 sounds like it mate thinking of remap and egr delete myself its annoying as fuel economy and power are spot on apart from that problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it gets to the juddering stage, replacement injectors ( or car!) seem to be the only solution that has been found. The injectors do not all fail at the same time, but from most reports, once one goes, others from that batch soon follow. VDO has a lot to answer for, but I am sure they will not answer!. It seems to have happened during or after a take-over of VDO by Continental AG in 2007. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
