Injector removal, is it a pig of a job?



  Clio 172 Ph1
Well ordered a new set of injectors due to a miss-fire That came in the car. Came not long after servicing it (oil and filter). So I changed to NGK Platnium plugs, new coil pack and tried a new set of leads but still have a miss-fire. Have ordered some injectors, but is it a pig of a job to do or will it be simple enough?

On a ph1 ? Very easy.

Fuel rail cover off - unclip fuel line from fuel rail - undo 2x 10mm fuel rail bolts - withdraw fuel rail and injectors from inlet (might take a bit of pulling)

Please tell me you've not bought all that off Renault. Must have cost you a small fortune. Injectors are really easy. They are just awkward to pull out of the inlet and the rail.

No didnt buy off Renault!ha I have a miss fire the past while, done the plugs, coilpack and tried different leads! So just went and ordered some heavy duty HT leads and decided to get 4 new injectors while I was at it to hopefully solve the miss! Decided to do all four injectors while im at it to be on the safe side and wont do any harm for the future of the car!

On a sperate note, the miss only came about a week after servicing it, there has never been a issue of oil causing an engine to miss is there? I used 5w40 semi synthetic?

Have you actually tried unplugging the injectors one by one with the car running to see if any of them make a difference?
