Hi. Just wanting to know, the washers at the base of the injectors, are they copper? Do they have to be replaced with copper ones? As there is a seller on eBay selling steel ones. Will there be an issue with this. Cheers.

make sure you recut the injector seats in the head and recut the seat on the end of the injector or it will be pointless changing the washers anyway as they will blow again very quickly
and yes use copper not steel most diesel specialists stock the washers and are generally cheaper than ebay

I'm changing the injectors as they are goosed. One at a time as I can't afford to do the lot at once. Did a leak off test and injectors 3&4 were just filling my 200ml containers in seconds. But that's an injector fault nothing to do with the seating surely!!!!!

I've been changing the injectors on these since, well ever since they started playing up, and never needed to re-cut the seats. Never seen any blowing either.
The Fiesta/Fusion/Mini/Citroen/French shit DW4/6, they blow, but they're a different engine altogether.
