Gripped

A bit of engine oil wiped around the o-rings to help them slip back in don't forget.

leedsboy · Jan 18, 2017

Looking forward to part two and fairplay for doing it yourself. I love doing stuff myself, makes you feel loads better than just dropping it off at a garage and throwing money away.

give him chance, had an injector to fit so will need a god six hours or so to recover.

Louis · Jan 18, 2017

I'm awaiting a snapped fuel rail.

Stay Puft · Jan 18, 2017

Fitted the new injector into the rail easily enough.. but cant get them to plug back into the engine. Put a bit of oil on the o rings but they just wone pop!

Feels like arm day, think I just broke my back pushing!

Stay Puft · Jan 18, 2017

Cant tell if theyre in.. quite a lot of up/down movement still.

Dont look like there in tbh

Gus · Jan 18, 2017

Dont worry about the up down movement, look at each injector to see if the o ring is pushed in to the inlet the same amount on each one. it is really hard to get them all in without lubrication. Wd40 or a little engine oil around the o ring will go a long way to helping.

Stay Puft · Jan 18, 2017

Nope werent in. s**t me this is hard. Tried engine oil and wd40. Cant find the vaseline!

Gus · Jan 18, 2017

Then fit the 2 bolts holding the fuel rail. this will sometimes help the injectors push in a little more if they arent in enough.

I wouldnt worry too much though, if the o rings are in the inlet then all will be well.

Gus · Jan 18, 2017

wiggle up and down whilst pushing with both hands , try starting from one side and working your way across.

Lies.

Louis · Jan 18, 2017

Ask the girlfriend for some lube.

Stay Puft · Jan 18, 2017

Injectors done, but fuel is pissing out of the feed. Its pusher in, the o ring is down..

Bear Head · Jan 18, 2017

This thread is amazing

Stay Puft · Jan 18, 2017

Changed the route of that cable even though it didnt seem to be intereing, and now all is good!

IF ANYONE NEEDS INJECTORS FITTING, HOLLAAAAAAAA

Gus · Jan 18, 2017

Did you wipe it up and check fuel wasnt pissing out still.

Gus · Jan 18, 2017

Chapperz · Jan 18, 2017

Fricken awesome thread!

Amos91 · Jan 18, 2017

Yeah there should be two o rings on the fuel connector.

leedsboy · Jan 18, 2017

I didnt know the orange bit needed to be in too!

Thanks again all. Was only meant to be an oil change, but £60 and 6 hours later, oil is changed and I have a new injector, yay.

Daz... · Jan 18, 2017

Brilliant stuff.

I look forward to the thread about changing brake discs ending in you asking for help on how to get the gearbox back in. :tongueout:

On a serious note, well done for having a go yourself and sticking at it.
