Where to buy Injectors for Mondeo TDCI

DannyW · 28 Apr 2010 at 13:48

Hi Guys

I have a 2005 mondeo tdci 115 ps, its done 155,000 miles, glow plug light was flashing so i've done a leak off test and one of the injectors is goosed

phoned around, cheapest so far was £135+vat for a reconditioned injector then £75+ vat for fitting and coding

Does anyone know of any decent places to buy injectors? not bothered if its reconditioned aslong as its been done properly

cheers

I hear you can use these providing they're primed with petrol:

Fancy not considering that before buying it :rolleyes:

Isn't this like your 8th mondeo?

Gosh fancy a big petrol 5 series using lots of fuel. Who would have thought that.

so you decided to buy a car with a faulty injector (£250) with the other 3 set to die soon too (£750).

I have had a quote for £150 and the other 3 injectors were like new on the leak off test

[TW]Fox · 28 Apr 2010 at 15:51

Wow how strange that one injector would be dead yet the others not even slightly worn.

You've just said you got a quote of £135 + VAT (£160) plus fitting £75 + VAT (£90) = £250 for ONE injector.

And, i'm not familiar with a "leak off test" but does it say "Yes there is a leak" or "No there is not a leak"?

If so, how could they be like new? Is "like new" just a way of saying they're working properly?
