Hi, first post and as usual I guess it's because I need help
ECU light been coming on for a while on my 2001 1.1 LX (not the best but my first car)
Had Coil pack changed and 1 fuel injector (number 4)
Dignostics now saying that all fuel injectors not working (including the one which was changed) so the garage who originally did the repairs are advising that all fuel injectors should be replaced...
This is getting a bit costly, so have SORN'd my car for now....just wondering 2 things really
1) Is it likely that replacing the injectors will fix the problem...just bought a new house so can't really afford to throw good money after bad
2) How easy are these to fit yourself? Was thinking about having a trip to my breakers yard who will charge £10 per injector (instead of £80 ish at the garage + labour...x 4 thats a big saving)
Really appreciate anyone's help!
Thanks
ECU Light

Hi
Picking the "right" replacement fuel pump involves more than looking up the year, make, model and engine size of your car….it also means choosing a pump that meets all OE performance specifications and fits the same as your original.
Mine is a 207 and whenever I need to buy any parts for my vehicle I order directly from http://www.peugeotpartsdirect.co.uk. I suggest…. take your vehicle to a garage to fit the injectors since the procedure can get quite complicated.
But... if you feel confident enough to do it, then here are some points to keep in mind before installing the new injectors. Hope this helps ……Now before installing the injectors test each for electrical resistance across the terminals. The standard is 2 to 3 Ohms.
1- Connect the new injectors into the wiring harness.
2. Place the injector insulators (6) into the manifold recessed areas. You could also slide the insulators onto the injectors.
3. Slide the injectors into the rail with a slight twisting motion. First, apply a very small amount of clean motor oil on the o-ring and top of the grommet.
4. Roughly align the injectors with the holes in the manifold. Don't press down yet.
5. Add the four rail bolts and insulators. Don't drop the insulators into the manifold.
6. Now simultaneously align and insert all six injectors. Take your time and re-check continuously. Keep pressing down till the rails fit tightly to their insulators and the injectors are sitting down fully on their insulators.
7. Tighten the four rail bolts using a torque wrench using 10-13 N-m (7-9 ft-lbs). Don't strip these threads or you are really in for some work.
8. Re-connect the coolant overflow tube.
9. Re-attach the high-pressure fuel supply line bracket.
10. Re-attach the fuel return line hose to the fuel pressure regulator.
11. Put the PCV hose back on and the 3 connectors on the bracket that goes on the passenger's side of the plenum and re-connect the rear EGO sensor.
