Vauxhall vivaro engine injector removal 

My dear Sir THANK YOU for that awesome dose of happiness when you realised the injector was out. True legend!

I wish our politicians had your grit and determination. Well done, sir.

theres a guy around here (central scotland) charges £250 per injector removal, and ill throw money at him before i ever get involved in one of these nightmares. good on you, your a bigger man than me.

Yes!! Bingo! Well done. The force required to overcome the friction induced by the growth of the injector down the bore of the head is insane. I've diagnosed a few of these vans as needing an injector swapping but have totally avoided getting involved in taking them out for this very reason. You didn't quit or give up, what a guy!

Well done Mark. Your videos are even more nerve wracking than watching England play ..!

You know you have a stuck injector when you need two 20 tonne bottle jacks. 😂

Brilliant, impressed with the constant no give up attitude, well done

I was hiding behind a chair watching this well done🤣🤣

It’s a great feeling when you’ve been stuck with a job that starts to get you down. Been there many times.

we have one sitting outside our workshop for a year now, perhaps next year...

Persistence always pays. Good man, yourself. I've been enjoying watching your videos. My renault trafic van, no.4 injector seized up a while back. A set of new injectors and having them pulled set me back £1100 🙄. This was 6 months after having an engine fitted. A stretched timing chain can be costly...

I couldn't help but engage my safety squints watching this video..

Love the impending shrapnel face😂

I've got the primastar, and I'm dreading injector problems. Well done mate. 👏

Mad as a box of frogs but thats the best way to learn. Been there many times myself so always good to see it pay off 🍻

well done fella you deserve to win thanks for the video it was great to watch

reminds me of a Dephi injector that refused to come out and eventually left the injector nozzle body behind,welded in by burnt diesel that glued in in tight.Took me 4 months to get it all out.Was quoted $5k to remove head and machine it out. All initiated by a crack in the injector that was releasing fuel pressure.

Thats new !!!! I was under the impression that the only vauxhall van seen on UK roads is the ev Milk Float version that runs out of puff on hills.

Glad I sold mine (Vivaro ) ! That's just nuts ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Nice one. Love the home made platform for the jacks, that looks like the effort to build the tool will pay off nicely 👌 I love it when a plan comes together! ❤😂

Well done! I have a very nice jig and a mag drill for these! Works nicely. 😂 the problem with that sort of force is the head is softer than the injector so the risk is breaking that first.

Got to admire your persistence. Good luck with the rest👍

God loves a trier and you certainly don't give up. Your determination is commendable, Mark👍👍

A mate had the same problem and it drove him mad, he did manage in the end but it was a week and three good mechanics. Good luck.

Congratulations. That was the most enjoyable and quality bit of RU-vid I’ve watch all month. Subscribed and best regards 👍

Well done Sir!

What an epic series mate ! amazing determination, amazing ideas ^^ loved it.

Great vid by a true Yorkshireman 🤭If only the factory would use anti seize compound on these, this would never be a problem. Locktite 8151 to be precise. This stuff is absolutely foolproof and can be used one exhaust studs. They always come out years later if required ⚠️

Have done primastar injector best to get engine really hot then soak with plenty maintenance spray also try and turn both ways with long spanner to get loose then use a bar to lever out.

Well Done Mark, I admire your determination.

Yes!! Brilliant! Had to rewind that a couple of times. Excellent work!

when you turnded it over i did not see tension puly need move good job mate

Well done!! that looked like a nightmare of a job to do.

I like a film with a happy ending ..Well done 🙂👍

I had to drill out 2 of mine on my 2.0 vivaro, got the head off now, noticed some scoring on one of the bores, from a glow plug tip i think.

1 down, 3 to go 👍. That seems a real palaver. But that Ureaka moment once its done is awesome. Well done mate.

Well done, mate, excellent job

Nice work Mark, just like my channel, straight talking, and upfront, refreshing change , good work Gary

I know what them injectors are like but more to the point that is some decent welding there 😊

Been watching these. Well done. I'm really happy you got it out👍

Had to do a similar operation removing cylinder head from a triumph stag…..you just got to think outside the box and believe

1st time watching ur vids this is the 1st 1. Iv always been lucky with my diesel as the injectors came out pretty easy.. i do unfortunately deal with alot of rusty bolts siezed into alloy though moto x shock bolts etc that go streight through a swingarm usually never touched or maintained in the last 10-15yr i find wurth inject crack does a really good job along with some some heat.. if you habe the luxury of time you could spray a penetrant leave it to soak a day or 2 then apply heat.

Fairplay Mark, great video! Perseverance pays off .

Nice one mate…. Persistence pays , my god what a struggle…. 👍

Brilliant performance fella

Well done,

Weld the two arm jacks together then pump is equal

Nice job

Congratulations 🎉. Grit and determination won though 👍👍👍👍.

Get in there, six months of hell, and finally, you take the victory 😅

Great work 🎉

When the customer asks "why is it taking so long"!!!!

I drilled one out once, after that job i bought the hydraulic puller kit and the majority came out easy with it, the tell tale was if it didn’t creak on the second pump of the ram it was a snapper, i got tired of them in the end and refused to take them on 😂

Well done master, your kung fu is good

It's steel in aluminium... Warm it up. Would be interesting to work out the clamping force of a 100°C temperature change.

Absolutely fantastic its enough to give you hope i new you where going to do it 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I took the injectors out of my 33 year old Sierra a couple of weeks back, two fingers was all it needed, progress eh lol

Awsome...congrats fella

Well done mate.

Well done...there is nothing like that bang to cheer an old mechanic up...been there with disel bmws a greatwalls....pass the beer nuts

Well done Mark 👊💪🤓🐶🐶

Great we always love a win we'll done

Well done that's a right result I'm well chuffed for you

Well done 👍👍

Sword in stone kind of stuff! 👌

😂 mint effort 👍

Hi mark brilliant video , what’s the number layout on injectors from gearbox side please thankyou

Gotta give it to you your one determined man 😀 I would hate to own you money 🤣🤣🤣 (Great set of vids well done)

Well done.

That was tight! Full marks for perseverance. What about the other three injectors, now you have a method?

the head must of flexed a bit? great job, no other way to do it me thinks

Had a jammed injector. Wouldnt move. Undid the retaining bolt and plate. Started the engine. Revved the nuts off the engine. It blew the injector straight out.

Scared the sh*t outta me when it went, well-done mate, that's what happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force, a TVP big bang.

I nearly wet my trousers when the injector let go. Quite a scare.

Have removed lots of these - they are not nice. - drilling is sometimes the only way - I know people who have split head with the proper gear I will go so far then just go for the drilling - they dont always break in the same fashion and some dont break at all 👍

My mate just uses his forklift to get them out lol

1m into the video and i still reckon get it cherry red with an induction heater, the air injector puller!!

Well done matey.

Good job !

ive seen people take off the injector forks and turn over the engine and they pop out

Well done a lot of people would have given up

Well done!

Excellent :-)

Its like watching someone kicking a UXB. 🙂

I hope you are charging at least £60 per hour + vat for your labour.

well done pal. id refuse to own a vivaro on principle that they are pieces of shat with failed design engines. but yeh well done.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯

Wow!

Jeepers no wonder nobody wants to touch our vivario with injector problems

What size tap did you use on the injector?

take an engine from the car, swap the cam and away you go

What a complete nightmare.

Wow

Is this a 1.9 ? ...

Did you soak them with penetrating fluid?

Anyone else soil themself at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="434">7:14</a> ?

I gotta cmax one out once... I ended up loosening the mounting clamp.. and letting it idle while I grabbed a few cups of tea.... After about 15-20 minutes you heard it "pop" and then blow like fk.... Has numerous heads off when in the dealers... Shit design!

Well done mate.
