Hi there, Im hoping for some help on injectors. I have a 2003 mondeo 2.0 tdci 115, had the usual problem of cutting out, replaced the crank, cam and another sensor (can't remeber off the top of my head), then done a leak off test and all 4 injectors are knackered. im pretty skint but need the car going agen, so cant afford new injectors. Iv spotted some working injectors fpr a reasonable pirce, however these are for a 130. Im guessing these wont work on my standard 115? Would they work if I was to get hold of a 130 ecu and run like that?

Thanks in advance, Steve.

 

As far as I know as long as the numbers match then you're ok eg. Ejdr00501z as are mine. Just got to replace like for like.

 

yeah leaps right you gotta match them up or the car will run like a bag of shite

 

Im sure each injector is firstly coded to the car then to the cylinder that its actually. Im sure my mate had bother and tried swapping one for the other on his own car to see if the problem went to a different cylinder. Absolute fucking shite these systems ont he mondeo. Much better when they went to the peugeot engine in the mk4

 

when I had a mondeo TDCi 130 the injectors went car was constantly in limp home mode, (or whatever its called)
I used a guy called the Diesel Doctor and he recoded the injectors to the car and it worked a lot better, wasn't ideal, was rather noisy, but at least it moved,
I had a quote of about Ł400 I think it was to have them cleaned and sorted at a diesel specialist, but decided to trade the car in while it was still moving. That was 12 months ago, the car hasn't been insured since.

 

You need to make sure they fit (the last part of the model number refers to the size of the injector - the 501z bit - if that's the same, they'll fit).

But you can't just put them in as the car will barely run, if at all. You can input the codes on the side of the injector and they should get the car running - but it will run like a bag of shit, as the code tells the ECU what parameters to run at - and second hand injectors won't have the same parameters that they had when they were new.

Ideally you need to get some injectors that have been properly reconditioned and given NEW codes - if they haven't then they HAVEN'T been properly reconned and you will run into the same problem again soon.

It's not going to be a cheap fix - so consider whether it's worth carrying on, or cutting your losses and moving the car on.
