Fuel Injectors







Fuel Injectors

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Tool Set (T10133)

The Puller (T10133/2) was changed and is now called the Puller (T10133/2-A). If the new tool is not available, the old one can be modified.

Modify the Puller (T10133/2) to create the Puller (T10133/2-A).

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

Round file approximately 6 mm

- File the semi-circle as shown in the illustration. The semi-circle allows the tool to slide farther onto the fuel injector. This provides the tool with a larger contact surface.

- Mark the modified tool with an "A" at the end of the tool number.





Removing


Fuel system is under high pressure! Before opening high pressure components of the fuel injection system, pressure must be relieved to residual pressure. Refer to => [ Before Opening High Pressure Fuel Injection System ] Service and Repair.

Then wrap a clean rag around the connection and relieve residual pressure by carefully loosening the connection.

- Remove intake manifold. Refer to => [ Intake Manifold ] Intake Manifold.

Seal injector channels in cylinder heads with clean cloths.

- Disconnect electrical harness connectors at fuel injectors.

- Remove high pressure line - 5 - from connector on fuel rail.





- Remove high pressure line - 7 - from connector on fuel rail. To do this, counterhold at hex head with and open-end wrench and loosen the union nut.

- Remove bolts - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 -.

Do not change the angles of the high pressure lines.

- Remove fuel rail with fuel injectors.

If the fuel injectors cannot be pulled out of the cylinder head by hand, proceed as follows:





- Using a screwdriver, bend the retaining tabs - 1 - of the radial adjustment aside - arrow - and pull the support ring - 2 - from the fuel injector.

- Remove O-ring from fuel injector.

- Guide the Puller (T10133/2A) in the groove on the fuel injector.





- Then position the Trim Removal Wedge (T10133/16) and remove the fuel injector by loosening the bolt - 1 -.

When setting the puller in place, the radial adjustment can be destroyed, because the retaining tabs break.

- Carefully remove the old Teflon seal - arrow - with the appropriate tool (for example with cut the seal open with a razor and spread seal open with a small screwdriver and pull it forward and off.) When doing this, make sure not to damage the groove and circumferential rib in the groove base.





If the groove is damage, the fuel injector must be replaced.

- Before installing the new Teflon seal, the seal groove and the shaft of the fuel injector must be cleaned of combustion residue using a clean rag.

Installing

Replace combustion chamber seal and O-ring.

Replace spacer ring if damaged.

Lightly coat fuel injector O-rings with clean engine oil.

Re-insert injector lines at same cylinder.

- Clip the radial adjustment - 1 - to the support ring - 2 -.





- When re-installing a fuel injector, use a clean cloth to clean combustion residue from the groove for combustion chamber seal and the shaft of the fuel injector.

- Place Assembly Cone (T10133/5) with new combustion chamber seal - 1 - on fuel injector - 2 -.





- Slide combustion chamber seal as far possible onto Assembly Cone (T10133/5) using Assembly Sleeve (T10133/6).





- Turn Assembly Sleeve (T10133/6) around and slide combustion chamber seal into groove.

When pushing the combustion chamber seal onto the fuel injector, the seal spreads open. This combustion chamber seal must therefore be made smaller after pushing it on in 2 steps.





- Press the Sizing Sleeve (T10133/7) with a slight turning motion (approximately 180°) onto the fuel injector until it stops.

- Pull the Sizing Sleeve (T10133/7) off again, turning it in the opposite direction.

- Press the Sizing Sleeve (T10133/8) with a slight turning motion (approximately 180°) onto the fuel injector until it stops.





- Pull the Sizing Sleeve (T10133/8) off again, turning it in the opposite direction.

- Coat the new O-ring with clean engine oil before installing.

The combustion chamber seal must not be oiled.

Do not put any grease, oil or other lubricants on the combustion chamber seal.

Fuel Injectors, Installing:

- Clean bore in cylinder head with Nylon Cylinder Brush (T10133/4).





- Slide the injector valve into the hole in the cylinder housing using the Assembly Drift (T10133/9).





The fuel injector must not be difficult to install. If necessary, wait as the combustion chamber seal continues to pull itself together.

- Make sure fuel injectors are correctly positioned in cylinder head.

The electrical connection of the fuel injector must engage in the intended recess of the cylinder head.

- Press the fuel rail onto the fuel injectors with uniform pressure.





- Tighten bolts - 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 - diagonally in stages.

Further installation is in reverse order.

For the tightening specifications. Refer to => [ Fuel Injectors with Fuel Rail Assembly Overview ] Fuel Injectors With Fuel Rail Assembly Overview.

High pressure line connections must not show any signs of damage.

Do not change the angles of the high pressure lines.

- Install intake manifold. Refer to => [ Intake Manifold ] Intake Manifold.

- High pressure lines, installing. Refer to => [ High Pressure Lines, Installing ] Service and Repair.
