Hi guys,

Last week my car died on me whilst driving just before it died it was juddering. No codes come up and car wouldn't start.

Got recovered to a local garage they rang me to say it started first time and is running sweet.

They've manage to get a code up and it's looking possible it's a faulty injector. Does anyone know what kind of price I'm looking at.  Many thanks.

Might be a good idea to post your partial VIN number, as you will have a 1U or a 1Z chassis.

Next is engine code off your V5, CBBB for example or 3 characters.

 

Could then locate a price for a single injector.

Off the top of my head I believe its a 1Z.

Dealer price for injector, £800-£960 for one (should have all the washers in theory)

Mad money, here is a quick random part I chucked into google, and seems to be a fairly cheap UK source (though more extensive googling might yield more fruit, chucking your registration into EuroCarParts)

Under £300 for comparison.

 

Need to either find the part off existing injector, or need VIN/Engine code.

 

Labour wise, not sure 1 to 1.5hrs estimate with coding???

I doubt a faulty injector would be a show stopper, more likely it's a wiring fault, probably temperature influenced.
