Help..the audi has been "diagnosed" faulty injectors..its the 2.5 v6 diesel..and hoylake audi are wanting nearly 600 quid to sort it..anyone know of anywhere i can get hold of injectors a bit cheaper than 240 quid?....

There is a place in Crewe that will clean and recondition injectors, ranges from £10 - £60 per injector iirc, it depends how they are "faulty" I suppose as to whether they can help of course.

Arnt new injectors like £80 a piece, and needing 6 thats like £480 just for the injectors themselves?

Sorry to hear it though fella

EDIT - Post 10,000 was about injectors lol.

thanks mate...will have to speak to hoylake and find out exactly the score..just had fonecall whilst at work today!..not what i wanted to hear!

The place is http://www.creweengines.co.uk/ I think - according to a guy on the MG Rover forums they do Rover L Series SDi injectors for around £10 for a clean or around £30ish for a recondition, per injector.

Not sure if they will do your's or even still do it, but it may be worth seeing what they say after you got the full score from the Audi place.

Friend of mine did some work with injectors on Diesel VW's. Ive just sent him a mail to see if he has any replacements, or can recommend the best place to get new ones

Just sent my mate the e-mail (Said you had been quoted £240 per injector), his reply is as follows:

Probably get thet down by a ton.
Whats the engine code ?
If you can give me the 3 letter code I'll confirm.

right..apparently is an AKE engine code..its the 2.5 v6 diesel
there are 6 injectors..5 the same and ones dfferent..on the third cylinder and thats the one i need..its parts number 059130202F specifically..
been quoted 244 quid for a new part...just the ONE injector!
and about 130 for second hand one....

so they wanted 244 quid for the injector..plus 20 quid for a rocker gasket and then the rest was labour...not so auditastic!
but a whole lot cheaper than proper audi!

hmm doesnt seem like im having much luck..not impressed at paying 244 quid for original dealer part!

Guess what peeps...the injector was fubard...yup 244 quid for a new one and 3 hrs labour!

and the sodding thing needs taxing in less than a week and its overdue a service!...

im not a happy bunny......nor is my bank manager

sorry to hear it mate.... is it done now?

nope...parts only arrived today..am going to york this wkend to see my dad.. (in the other audi)..so wont be ready til monday am....
doh!

grrrrrrrrrrrrr..... was that the cheapest matey...

yup...audi wanted a WHOLE lot more than that!

was very tempted to take the injector out of my mums a6 (its got the same engine) and swap it...but thats just naughty....

ha ha, sneaky ...........

hmmm..diesel injector fixed...xcept that hasnt solved the vibration problem...
dual mass flywheel is fubared...and gona cost me an arm and a leg to fix...not a happy bunny AT ALL!

Its this just down to ware and tear or is there more too it.

Sods Law though....

It comes in 3's

1. Injector
2. Tax
3. Flywheel

Your all done now enjoy York

Flywheel aint done....just taxed it.grrrr!!


basically the flywheel SHOULD of been replaced when my clutch got trashed last year (memo..never let your bint drive your car!)

BUT it was 600 quid ontop of a 600 bill for a new clutch!

basically its now furbard...and therefore is out of balance and the car has a horrible vibration through the whole thing...its gotta get fixed..cuz i cant sell it like it is...!
DOH!!

Unlucky fella you must be really fed up with all this now...

mate thats not good, when u gonna get that done ?

Sell it and get a vauxhall.


I'll run away now

and why on God green earth would i want to go give even MORE money away!

Am gonna have to sort it this next week or so cuz its just gonna trash the engine if i carry on driving it...gulp---will have to speak to the bank of mum and dad methinks!

Vauxhalls are the worst for DUELMASS Flywheels to go

how random..havent looked at that post since march 08!
