Post by DamirGTI »

Hi Guy !

Maybe the filter is damaged in the injector.

Blockage by tiny dirt particles usually - it's hard to damage an injector any other way.

Hi !

So what should i do next Guy ? try to clean all of them one more time , or replace this filters inside the injectors ?

How can i change/remove filters ? i see them inside the injectors , but they are really tight fitted I'm worried that i don't damage something , with what should i pull them out ? With a screwdriver or ?

I've found one article regarding ultrasonic injector cleaning ¢‚¬Å“ very interesting read :

Sorry, never done it, always regarded anything to do with injectors as a Bosch specialist job.
