C8 2.2 Injectors

Unread post by MixerFistit »

Is it possible to know what injectors are compatible with my 2.2 please?
I've read there can be differences from vehicle to vehicle so not sure where to start other than here.

I have lexia which seems to be able to choose class 1,2 & 3 if that broadens the scope at all.

There's a chance I can pick up 4 that are from a scrapped 2.2 but the part number (9638488980 - image below) gives matches for the 2.0 as well.

I haven't got sight of the part number of mine yet as been knocked out with a nasty flu/covid type bug - I'll edit this post ASAP if VIN (VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]) is not enough.

To clarify, the image is of a possible source of injectors not whatever's fitted to mine.

Have now edited in a pic that's about as good as I can get without taking the scuttle and wipers off etc. I'm assuming class 2 by that number at the end of whatever the long number is. (The potential donors pictured below have 'A' so presumably this means class 1?)

It doesn't specify what class is fitted, listing them all:
c8 injectors.jpg
The linked doc for class 1 / 3 says to configure Class 2 if more than 2 class 2 are fitted.

The listed part numbers only appears to cross reference to other 2.2s, e.g. in the C5.

The 96 number off the injector is not listed as a PSA part number, probably a Bosch part number.

Thank you Richard, I didn't realise classes could be mixed with regards to the "if more than 2 class 2 are fitted", but then I don't even know what the class actually means!
Is there a preferred class for fitting and is there a relevance to the EX on some of the alternatives in your list?
Don't mean to clutter this priority thread with questions, but want to make sure I get it right first time

EX is exchange. I found some other info on line that suggests that Bosch don't have different grades if you buy direct! There may be a number on the injectors that tells you what class, but I can't see one in your pic. Possibly the classes are just 'quality' and the incremental smooth running is pretty marginal. You should be able to see what class is fitted in Diagbox.

Thanks for the info.
I've since edited my original post to show what looks like class 2 (Lexia also says 2/B/Y) but the rest of the number is obscured until it's dry enough here to get the wipers off etc.
So class doesn't seem to be much of an issue, from reading it seems removal is the main hurdle.
Should I assume the protector (#12) in your image is likely a single use consumable along with the washer?
