Here I do a DIY job trying improve the diesel injectors in a Freelander TD4 which is the BMW engine, similar to that used in the 1 and 3 series 320d etc, The following is shown:
injector removal
injector testing outside the engine using the cars systems
dismantling and cleaning the injectors
testing the spray pattern
doing a leak back test, with a quicker and more precise method with ml/sec numbers
BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO ALLOW THE DIESEL INJECTOR SPRAYS NEAR YOUR SKIN. IT IS VERY HIGH PRESSURE AND CAN INJECT INTO YOU AND POISON YOU. WEAR GLOVES, A FACE AND EYE MASK.
Here is the face mask I used from
Amazon UK: amzn.to/2GHE9d6
Similar ones on Amazon USA & other countries: amzn.to/2IHmip1
Eye goggles: Amazon UK: amzn.to/2IUSqos

Injector copper washers from ebay UK: ebay.us/XqgZiY
And some similar ones on Amazon USA & others: amzn.to/2DB210h
Rubber disposible gloves are also useful, here's the links for

A 27mm spanner as used on injector removal for leverage:
Amazon UK: amzn.to/2XJBzsQ
Amazon USA & others: amzn.to/2Vphpad
When dismantling the injectors look out for any additional small parts that may come out, e.g. small spring under the shim disc. Dismantle over a clean tissue in a tray ideally.
This video is part of a series of videos going through testing everything to improve the running and reduce the smoke. So this could be called “smoke reduction stage 5”.

Excellent video. Just to add an easy way to remove tight injectors is to just unscrew the retaining studs as they work as a removal tool. You need a small female torx socket or a good fitting 4mm socket will do if they are not too tight. (The injectors will extract with just one of the studs if you find one that is too tight and you are worried about stripping the torx or shearing the stud)

@comeinhandynow 2 года назад

Thanks, sounds like a good tip.

@binarymalehim 4 года назад

A good tip for removing a really stuck injector without a slide hammer or expensive tool is to soak the area around your injectors before hand with oven cleaner, it will break down carbon deposit and grease I've used now a few time works great.

@Alex-rn8mh 5 лет назад

Hi very instructive video, thank you. The method for return flow shown works great if leak back is small like 10-20 ml/min. For badly worn out injectors with big leak back flow you need to use minimum 500 ml container (mine i used 4 x 2l bottles and time it for 10 mins on idle). Mine where leaking #1 110ml/min, #2 48ml/min, #3 40ml/min, #4 50ml/min. So except #3 all where worned out, most badly beeing #1, which is the 1st one to get reconditioned. keep u posted after recondition how will work. good luck and thank you again.

@theimbusinesss 2 года назад

Great video. I followed the video and cleaned my injectors but I have smoking over 2000rpm to 2500rpm and rattling. I am being told injectors need testing and calibrating. Did you have to have yours calibrated. Many thanks

@comeinhandynow 2 года назад

Thanks. I read the calibration is mainly relevant at running at idle and matters less at higher revs. I didn’t calibrate mine. The smoke at 2500 rpm is an issue that does come up a few times and I had this on mine. I think it is because the engine clogs up with carbon, particularly around the valves. I did eventually cure the smoke, with some more work and a bit of a work around. See this other video of mine ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sJFHvKIGHIA.html

My car injector is getting black when I checked after 10km driving. The bottom sprayer side under the washer. Is it because of some leak or will diesel burn produce carbon that fast. My second question is. Is there any chance of leakage from the bottom side joint of the injector. I mean the one above the washer. Because my engine oil seems to be getting lighter. I couldn't find any leakage outside around common rail, return or fuel line on top side. I tested one of them, the way you showed now by taking them out completely but couldn't find any problem with that. Iam using continental injector so there is no other joints other than the bottom joint.

@boosteddiesel1834 5 лет назад

Hi there, thanks very much for your production of this very informative video. I’ve just used this knowledge to repair my new td4 freelander. One thing I would like to note you you though is, i after reassembling my 2 injectors I found two little springs on the garage floor, turned out they sit underneath the “collar” that sits around the wee disc. I never noticed them in your video and was a little worried as they are the plunger springs and had I reassembled and started my engine with them out it would have been a Diesel engine run away situation. It may be an idea to add some text to the video warning of this. I assume the wet diesel simply held yours in place?? Anyway, thanks again 👍🏼

@scottstephen3125 4 года назад

In another video you stated it was possible to remove run the engine with the inlet manifold off. This, of course, could aid removal of the injectors if they were hot. With the manifold off, would the fact that the MAP sensor and IAT sensor not being connected could trigger the engine management light? - Thanks. Scott

@comeinhandynow 4 года назад

You would have thought so but it didn’t in my car. Unless I just didn’t look for it and it cleared up by the time I drove it with everything connected.

@MrZakmuh 2 года назад

Nice one and thanks for showing us. I removed the top bit where the connector is now my engine is misfiring on that injector. Do I have to screw it back to a certain level or should I take it to a diesel specialist? Cheers

@comeinhandynow 2 года назад

As far as I remember it should be tight not a certain level. If the lower part was taken apart and the very small shim disk was misplaced I would imagine it would mess up, but the top half is just the solenoid part so not so critical unless grit gets in it. Try testing the flow pattern and leak back as in the video. Sounds like you might need a new injector unless you can mismantle it and check for problems.

@MrZakmuh 2 года назад

Thanks for your quick reply. It was a fully working injector and I took the top part off to use the injector puller adapter. I didn't remove the lower part.

@paulwisdom5383 4 года назад

Probably hopeful, does cleaning ever fix leaky injectors? Or by the time they leak are they mechanically worn?

@paulwisdom5383 4 года назад

Got a Rover 75 with the same M47 engine, noticed the oil level is high. The previous owner disconnected the MAF saying it had MAF issues. I'm not sure if it's over fuelled and leaked past the rings, or if its going to be a leaky injector. Idles rough but otherwise drives perfect. I've only had it 2 days so I've yet to investigate the MAF, just looking ahead is all. Particularly hard to get to the injectors or? I've found most of the 75 easy to work on so far and well thought out for maintenance so suspect not. Many thanks buddy!

@comeinhandynow 4 года назад

It is possible a clean might fix a leak as the plunger which controls the fuel may be sticking. You could check for leaks by having the injectors plumbed in outside and crank over the engine with no electrical connection to the injectors to see if any fuel comes out of them. Take care with gloves, mask etc. The Bosch MAFs can fail, I have heard, but check everything else like the HP fuel sensor readings first.

@theepicpanda2352 2 года назад

Hey. I’ve got a Freelander that is refusing to start but it is cranking. I’ve noticed fuel is coming through the return lines when ignition is on. Should it do that?

@comeinhandynow 2 года назад

Yes some, see the leakdown test in the video. Check the resistance of the glow plugs and if the HP fuel pressure sensor is giving the right voltage, see my video on that.

@jackmanning7370 3 года назад

How many volts should i see at the injector plug? I have a imobiliser code on the landy after doing alot of work on it. Now it wont start. Theres no voltage to the injector wiring

@comeinhandynow 3 года назад

If you have an immobiliser code error then I should look up the code and make sure your key fob is synchronised (lots of presses open and close). I would not expect the injectors to be firing if it’s immobilised. The injectors would receive current pulses when they do operate which you may only be able to see on an oscilloscope.

Hello mate, question if I may. I've had some on and off problems with my TD4. Stuttering, cutting out etc. and at one point not starting at all. Sometimes it tries to start and dies, other times it starts first turn. Anyway, replaced the LP fuel pump and filter under the rear wheel arch and also replaced the nylon washer and rubber ring in the fuel pressure regulator. Not easy with my sausage fingers. However, when I removed the inlet manifold to do this I noticed the inlet on the engine at cyclinder 1 (far left as you look at it) was dry and powdery, instead of being damp like the other 3. Would this indicate that the injector isn't supplying sufficient fuel to that cyclinder? And therefore that injector is not working as it should? I wanted to ask before I strip it down again and either replace or repair the injector. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Are the injectors supposed to be in a particular order and registered/programmed into the ECU?

@comeinhandynow 4 года назад

I don’t believe so. Unless someone proves me wrong.

@Steve_MFr 3 года назад

Late reply, but maybe useful for others: The injectors themselves are not necessarily "programmed" to the ECU, but over time the ECU adapts the duty cycle (=how much time they are open) of each individual injector to compensate for wear, blockage, etc. In Bosch terminology, fuel compensation values. These can be read with appropriate diagnostic equipment. When injectors on a well used motor are removed and replaced, they should go back to the same cylinder for this reason. Or when new injectors are installed, the compensation values should be cleared. Again with appropriate diagnostic equipment. Unfortunately, I am not aware of a system within a private user budget that performs these 2 functions. The GAP IIDTool works on the L322 Range Rover TD6 (same motor with 2 more cylinders), but not the Freelander 1.

I would suggest measuring the hp fuel rail sensor voltage, it’s shown in my video about the hp fuel regulator. That will tell you if you have fuel going to the injectors. if you have you could try removing the injectors and running them in the open air like I show in this video to see if they are pumping diesel out. Be careful, as described in the video as they are very high pressure. Maybe you just have air in the system that needs running through to remove... very hard to diagnose remotely or via a video. you either need to go through some of the tests I show in my videos or get a mechanic to diagnose if you don’t want to.

Assuming the injectors are still good after all that reassembling, maybe they just have air in them. Try that leak back test in the video to see if fuel is getting through them and check they are all about the same leak back amount while you are at it. If that doesn't show any problem, you could try an OBD2 reader to read the error code and maybe check the injectors are spraying OK, like in the video but take care with your health - mask, gloves, mash etc as described.

@comeinhandynow 3 года назад

What about this, which is the whole return pipe with fittings and o-rings, I thnk: rimmerbros.com/Item--i-8510322 Or try your local Landrover dealer.

@bojidarvasilev3574 3 года назад

@@comeinhandynow Yeah, I've come across it but in my case it's pretty obvious that those rubber parts are worn and causing the problem not the hoses

@comeinhandynow 3 года назад

@@bojidarvasilev3574 You could try one of those kits of o-rings of various sizes that you get on ebay to see if one fits.

Nice video! How did you bleed the CR system?

@comeinhandynow 4 года назад

Thanks. I don't recall doing any bleeding. What is CR anyhow?

@imre9012 4 года назад

Common-rail direct fuel injection is a direct fuel injection system for diesel engines. After opening the CR system appears an error on your dashboard and you have to bleed it. Or isn't it the M47N version?

@comeinhandynow 4 года назад

Got you. Silly me. It’s an M47R engine. Yes common rail. Any air bled out through the injectors I guess. No error codes.

@imre9012 4 года назад

I'm interested in bleeding the system because I run out of fuel and I've got the error. I can't find any bleeding method without a diagnostic tool.

@comeinhandynow 4 года назад

I would just slacken off a nut on the fuel to the injector, put a rag around it and turn it over until fuel comes out.

Hi mate.Do you know what they call the fuel line on top of the glow plugs (the black one)because one of the tiny black conecters has snapped. Any advice is welcomed. Is it possible will need set of glow plugs plus fuel pipe. Or can I get spare bits. Many thanks. Mike

@comeinhandynow 4 года назад

Do you mean connectors on glow plugs or fuel injectors? Only fuel injectors have fuel lines. There are black plastic T-pieces on the fuel return lines from each injector. Ha enough tried rimmerbros? Or just try a Landrover supplier or dealer. There are lots of small independents as well.

4 shot redex half tank fuel

@comeinhandynow 4 года назад

That is certainly easier but not as good a clean. Testing the leakback and checking the spray pattern is also a good idea. If one or two spray holes are blocked then redex wont be able to get through to clean it or unblock it.
