Cheers Paul. I'll be in touch when you're back home.

Could be worth getting the injector tested and refurbished if needed. I had four tested and one of them refurbished for just over £100 a few years ago.

Sitting comfortably? That's each :shock: :wink:
Wow. That's crazy. I was wondering if its worth doing all 4, perhaps I'll wait until each one fails then replace.
With that code would you say the Injector is definitely knackered, couldn't be a fault triggered by the adblue issue? Would injector cleaner be worth a try?
Adblue / Urea faults won't have anything to do with the diesel injectors as they have no interaction with each other, so should not trigger a diesel injector fault.

If it was me, I'd certainly be putting some Diesel fuel system / injector cleaner (Wynn's / STP) into the fuel tank and going for a drive to get that circulating - and would repeat when next adding fuel to try and get any deposits out of the system first. Has to be worth a punt to see if that will clear the error. If it does, then regularly add some each month to keep it clean.

I used this https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/wynns-wy ... mwQAvD_BwE

Seems to have worked a treat. No more I ejector faults.

Great - cheaper than an injector if it does the job.

Maybe consider using premium diesel once every few tankfulls as the additional cleaners will help keep the fuel injection system clean.

I usually fill up at Costco if I can. I believe there's is supposed to be premium diesel? Recently I've filled up at the "go" branded unmanned station as they were the cheapest in the area. Perhaps I'll give them a wide berth from now on.

I use Gulf and they have a 'premium diesel' which I use every third or fourth tankful. It's a few pence a litre more - but hey ho, we were paying 30-40 pence a litre more a week or to ago for the normal diesel - so swings and roundabouts.

Shell also have their V-Power option which I've always used.

Personally I avoid supermarket pumps where possible and stick to branded stuff - which may only be a penny or so a litre more.
