Ali Zafar Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I am doing the injector seals and O rings job on my car but I am kind of stuck now.The new seals are genuine LR part but they wouldn't go past the mid point on the injector nozzles. Am I doing anything wrong? I have cleaned the tip using fine sand paper and there's no carbon left on the tips but that's not helping. I tried forcing them a little but to no joy. Don't want to damage any thing since nothing is available here.... got these from Dubai as well.Do I place the washers in the head first then install injector and use the clamp to seat them in place by tightening the bolt? Is that the correct way? Would that damage anything?Also, I washed the injectors with petrol... is that okay??2. How do I clean the red socket.. what and how to use? How do I clean the whole loom.. from the injector socket to the red socket?How do clean the MAP sensor.. what and how to use?My glow plug sockets were very brittle and I broke all 4 of them while removing them.... whats the fix? Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweetyduck Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 When I did mine on my 300Tdi they would not slide on if even slight cocked on the end of the injector. Are you sure they will not go down ? We did put them the hole first and then changed to doing them on the end of the injector. They don't fall off due to the extreme tolerance of the hole in the seal. As I said if it was even slightly cocked then it didn't fall off so going on is the same. They need to be square on the tip to slide on. I would suggest a little bit of force when tightening as you suggested by putting them in the hole first would be OK. (Careful of the hole in the tip !!!) Also you didn't touch the tip when cleaning them did you ? The hole is very easy to damage and should not be touched. The spray pattern will be damaged if you did. Cleaning with petrol is OK. Make sure they are dry. part numbers are correct for a TD5. Only help I can offer.

tweetyduck Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 A bit of Google and they are indeed interference fit so will be hard to push on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will put them in the head first and then tighten them with the injector clamp. I did touch the tip of the injectors... cleaned the carbon of with fine sand paper using light pressure.

mike4444244 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I tapped mine extremely carefully into place with a deep socket that just fitted over the nozzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Zafar Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 Okay... I tapped mine into place too with a socket, socket did leave a mark on each washer but hopefully its all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve200TDi Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Yes, I used a deep socket and carefully pushed and wiggled them on. If there's any scoring or grooves on the washer then it may not seal properly, but they are a tight fit! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali Zafar Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Where do these parts go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangy35 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 The picture on the left, is there a white plastic part in the threaded side of the brass fitting? if yes it goes in the rear of the four fittings on top of the filter, closest to you, and the black plastic bit fits in the front furthest from you in side the brass fitting, you have to remove it and renew the part if there is one in there, if not fit it.

Ali Zafar Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Okay... Thanks for the details! I heard that Defender TD5 does not use any of these parts; only Disco II TD5 uses them.... is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangy35 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 They still use the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
