Programming injectors on a 2.0TDCI duratorq

[dai.dg]

Hi all, I have a 54 tourneo which has just had engine reconditioned, done about 15000 miles and went lumpy so took injectors to be checked and they were all knackered. Bought 4 new injectors for £700 (gutted) just fitted in to bus and it started 1st time and is running lovely, my concern is dont they need proggraming?? i aint complaining but why do they say they need to be. Thanks Dai

yes need programming at dealers or diesel specilist, or independant with ids,they wont last as long and at 700 you dont want to waste your money , it will also be more refined engine, you need long number off injector, also if you ever take them out for some reason they need to be put back in the same cylinder,..just a point if you no someone with the right software, there programmed to firing order not cylinder order,..they are built to same standards and parts,from new but spray patterns are different so correction factors are built in to injectors.

I got a unit off eBay for £50 that will do them.

700 , totally puts you off buying this model . whos robbing who , isnt there a pattern part available or has ford got the rights to be the only rip off merchant here

I wonder what the mark up is on these ? 400 500 %

tdci injectors for mine are £220 fords ,delphi agent £216,from delphi £186 if you can get them from them, you can have them recon for approx£120, but its not always possible.

Does no one question why they are so much

You don't need to as your's isn't a TDCi.

[hendy2002]

Thanks for that, iv lost about 40% in power, iv had a new turbo and had the pump lookt at but still the same, so i hope changing the injectors will sort it out,

[angeleye]

is the power down that much after injectors changed (without being coded) how many miles it done, have you done egr mod

slogger we have no choice to pay the prices, i was in fords parts the other day , a lady came in for some sort of plastic trim, cost her i think £18, she worked in the factory that it was made in and said these cost about £2 to make?...(why didnt she get one from work)! i have to renew my rear drums...ford price £180 each WTF and its a dealer only spare, no patterns yet( thats without shoes bearing ETC)
