C4 DV6C 2012 short circuit in injector nr3

Unread post by akerolf »

Hi , I have a C4 1,6 HDi "rubber band" automatic 2012, VINnr: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff].
Car wnt in to limp mode and i made some tests with Diagbox : Injector 3 P0268 "short circuit between two cables"
Measured the cable between injector and ecu? =OK
Then measured directly on injector = short circuit!
Repair or change?
Any instructions on how to change? What to keep in mind?

Very common fault, just change the injector (must be coded with eg Diagbox).
Preferablt i'd change all of them but that is expensive..
I have various repair handbooks and wiring diagrams for C5 mk1, Xantia, XM, Berlingo and C3 mk1.
I have Lexia/Diagbox (Sweden) and Servicebox/sedre

There are companies who can repair injectors, so it might be worth seeing if there is anybody in your area who can do that. It would (if it is repairable) be cheaper than buying a replacement.
