Thanks for the reply, you are right the garage does not want to do the work and I dont want to pay for another set of expensive injectors either in case they fail again. No dodgy fuel however costs will quickly exceed the car value. Its a sad reality

Thanks for the reply, I was beginning to think it could only happen to me! What did it cost to put right? The garage dont really want to do the work saying its uneconomic as the car is only valued at 4K now. The risk is more problems after spending a bunch of money on it.

Thanks for the comments. Original failure was injector 4 siezed open and then a drop in fuel pressure.looks like the hp pump could have been overworked and failed. I’m sure the injectors could be reconditioned at a cost. I could still spend thousands sorting this to what end I don’t know. I really asked the question to see if anyone had this kind of experience with this engine. Thanks

After a long drive engine felt rough, Then engine warning light came on. Then some miles on the engine stopped. Breakdown service diagnosed injector 4 failed. Got the car to a garage. All 4 injectors replaced, not cheap. After a short run engine failed again. Injectors were checked by a specialist, found metal contamination. The entire fuel system is contaminated. Cost to clean and repair parts is now more than the car is worth. It’s likely the HP fuel pump failed. Has anyone experienced this? What did you do. Car is heading for scrap now, very sad. Car has done 150,000 so I expected to change injectors but not this. Thanks

Thanks for the comment, looks like it’s beyond economic repair. Sad end to a great car.

On a recent long drive the engine started to run rough. Engine light came on. Breakdown service said ok to drive home 200 miles. Got near to home, engine cut out. Breakdown service attended and said it was injector 4. Garage replaced all injectors, then engine died again. Injectors were tested at a specialist. Metal contamination. Believed to be the HP pump failure. Now I am told the car is scrap and uneconomic to repair due to the labour and parts. Car value £4000 circa 2017 150,000 miles. Any advice please?
