Replacing injector. Have couple questions.
Replacing injector. Have couple questions.
Sup guys,
So I'm in the middle of replacing injector. I took off intake manifold and fuel rail, and now I need to get a replacement injector.
Is it really ok to get used/remanufactured injector or is it better to get a new one?
And another question. I noticed that there is oil in the intake manifold. What does it mean? Is it a problem with head gasket? Or anyting else?

If you have the cash, go for the new one. If not, a afterkmarket (bosch) should work fine for a long time.
As already said, oil in the intake manifold is normal. Atleast in all the manifolds I have pulled.

Don't bother with the remans I've experienced a 50% defect rate on them (possibly more)
Heck I've replaced 7 injectors on my car so far
I sell new injectors if you need more than one let me know, so I can adjust the price for ya.
Thanks for the advice guys. So the common opinion is to go for the new injector.
Is it ok to replace one injector only (I have only 1 failed) or should I replace all of them at once? Because I heard that if one failed then others will go soon. What do you think?

Thanks anyway.
most definatly if you have the cash replace all 6 now. if you just replace one, who knows when the next one is going to go, then you have to do all the labor over again. of course its not that difficult of a job, just you dont want to be doing it 6 times as each injector fails
