Haven't tried to feel the injector solenoid yet. Might have to have a crack when I get home.I just used my xcal 2 and obd2 scanner on my phone and nothing came back.

Also the company that I bought them off has sent me a new one free of charge so hopefully that comes soon. I still have no idea what the problem is so as soon as I rule out the injector issue I'll tow it somewhere if I'm still having trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had exactly the same symptoms and came accross that I had split the block between 1 & 2 cylinder. I thought it was injectors, head gasket, fuel, spark plugs, coils, electrics and leads. But after all that I had the engine pulled apart and about a 6cm crack (length) going down the bore. It had managed to get oil in with the water which gives the blown head gasket scenario.Be careful with your Turbo. Once you get oil and water mixed and it goes through the lines to the turbo to cool it, the water evaporates in the hot turbo and fries the bearing in the turbo.That's what happened to me :( new turbo, new block. Nasty stuff. Sorry for the bad news I hope it's not that.Give me a PM and I can ring you and discuss more if you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have to go that far I doubt I'll build a motor for it. I'll see how I go with injectors tomorrow and if I have no luck then I'll shoot you a pm. Cheers Michael.

No luck with injector joints today so I'll have to wait till Monday. The injectors are off ebay and there are a lot of places that had them not just the one I bought from. My cousin also had a set. They look like genuine ones but don't have any numbers stamped on them. If I find out it's them and I get the car running I'll just get a new set and a retune.

My free replacement injector just rocked up so I can drive for a couple of days till my new genuine set rocks up.Does anyone know whether I'd need a re-tune going from the fake to genuine injectors?
