injector failure
I was under the impression that from 2013 on, the injectors VW were fitting were of a better quality.
If Daveys injector has gone on a 14 plate at 47k that suggests there is still an issue. Does this mean that anyone who has had newer ‘S’ injectors is likely to have more issues?
At 4-500 quid a go, I hope not!

Re: injector failure
My brother’s is a 14 plate, but still has the ‘B’ injectors... so don’t think it’s as clear cut as everything post 2013 is ok

Re: injector failure
It could be possible that it was built prior to 2013, held in stock for over 12 months & regisitered in 2014

Re: injector failure
It is also possible that it is a faulty injector, maybe a very small percentage of the thousands made, even though it might be the revised version.
It's also possible it has had a hard life, bad fuel, poor servicing, maybe been swapped out by a unscrupulous mechanic who wanted a revised injector for himself. Who knows.

Re: injector failure
Mine is a 64 plate, first registered in Sept 2014.
Have just had an injector replaced at the local stealership.
£879 quoted and finally paid £559 with a 36% goodwill payment by the dealer, as VW refused to pay anything.
The reason VW wouldn't pay, is because I had refused the emissions fix, when I registered the vehicle in my name.
Unfortunately I don't know how to check which injectors are in my engine.
Could you point me in the direction of how to identify them?

Re: injector failure
Brock, the part number is on top of the injector. If it ends with a B, it is the old type that are prone to failure. If it ends with an S, it is the newer, more reliable type.

Re: injector failure
Thanks for the info swan fiend, I'll check the other 3 injectors some time.
I had the VW emissions fix done when the dealer fitted the new injector.
It seemed the only way I might avoid three more expensive injector fittings, due to the 2year/100000 mile warranty they say I now have.
My van seems to be running much more smoothly now and I haven't noticed an increase in fuel usage.
Fingers crossed for the next month or two!

injector failure
No problem mate, happy to help if I can
Hopefully you’ll have no more issues. then you can spend your hard earned on mods, not fixes!!
I must admit, the injector issues haven’t filled me with confidence doing long journeys. I’m debating weather to buy a spare injector, I’m going to look into weather the AA could fit and code one roadside.

Re: injector failure
I ended up being recovered by the RAC last week and the bloke was telling me that the AA have allocated service vans that carry injectors and fit/code injectors at the roadside. At a cost obv.the swan fiend wrote:No problem mate, happy to help if I can
