Hi all,
can anyone tell me how often the injectors should be replaced?
I have an 03 GU TD4.2 ute which has done 95,000 Kms. The reason i am asking is that i have heard that you should do them every 100,000kms.
Thanks for your help.
Brett

Brett,
Yep that's about the K's they should be checked, don't mean they have to be replaced, tips may have to be replaced due to the spray pattern being all over the place and spring tension in some maybe us.
Some will say I have done 500000k with no probs, but that all depends on how clean the fuel is and how the engine has been run.IE like a taxi or long haul.
Get your tappets done as
well as they are really important
Any spelling mistakes can be attributed to( H#ll when did I get some sleep last
Have a safe one

Brett,
Like the Ape said, it all depends on your type of driving and fuel quality. I am one of the primarily long distance drivers and
mine were replaced for the first time at 280 or 290 thousand k's. It made a bit of difference to power delivery but I had a proper tune up at the same time so it is hard to quantify how much difference it made to power. The tappet adjustment is done every 40 thousand k's on
mine and I believe it is a good idea as after the adjustment
mine runs so much sweeter and quieter it is not funny.
Regards, Trevor. (Also lacking in sleep, daughter 1 week old.....how old is your's Ape? LOL!!)
