Hi,
im looking for someone to come and remove a siezed injector from my trafic van. Anyone got a number/name of someone that could do it?

Thanks

 

sorry i dont know anyone ,but i have heard pouring coca cola around the injector and letting it sit overnight can do the trick as the coke breaks down the carbon that is holding the injector in place

 

last one i did had to have the head removed and the injectors knocked out from the other side. try the coke idea, but i wish you luck.

 

You can buy a proper removal tool from Renault

 

Google it, or ask on BBA Re-man forum.

Not sure on locations, but there are guys there who can do it. Also check youtube, as plenty of guys who offer the service have ideas advertising on youtube

You can buy various tools, but really it will depend how badly stuck they are. Some are purely mechanical, some hydraulic, and some use black magic.

You could buy a cheaper tool and it might work, it might not. And if the injector breaks, you'll need the professional anyway. So if it is a one off job, just get a pro to do it. If multiple jobs, then it might be worth investing.

 

Plenty advertise on eBay mate

since owning the above two toolkits ive never failed to remove an injector (touchwood) and i do them on almost a weekly basis on a variety of vehicles

 

If its a runner be brave.....or stupid and fire it up with the injector retainer removed. Diesel compression might help it out,lol.

 

The way those things stick....wouldnt make a bit of difference. Very badly designed setup.
