400i fuel injector part #

Hello, Jacques...a year or so ago I had a good friend with a diesel injection shop check 6 of my fuel injectors, as he handed them back to me he reached into a gallon size zip-lock bag and gave me 12 new fat o-rings for the injectors. Let me stop by his shop and see if he has some left over , I will grab a set...I also know a guy with the "cone-shaped" tool to slide the new seals over the injectors, however, it can be done carefully by hand with generous lubricant.

Never bother cleaning a steel injector. Buy the upgraded brass ones and dont look back

 

I bought a complete set of the brass injectors and o-rings in a set at a very good price. I did a little spray test with fuel and compressed air. I got a nice cone spray from the one or two new ones I tested. I swapped all injectors. Motor ran much smoother and on a couple of mileage checks I may have gotten an extra mpg (mid 13's vs mid 12's).

I then did same spray test with the old injectors (brass). Most squirted out one side, hard to call it a spray. I soaked them all in carb cleaner. Some cleaned up in an hour or so, and some took a few days. I finally got them all to spray like the new ones. I have them stored away for future use and will only need new o-rings.

Part Time's parts list is great. I am sure if you search the injector and o-ring part numbers you will find the same part number used on some BMW other Euro car and will find pricing lower. Our motors are two 2.4 liter 6's, sounds like a BMW to me or a Volvo. I'm certainly going to save that parts list!

You are very welcome, happy to help, we all need to pull together and keep these cars running..
That doc is just one page of 156....if anyone here has other vehicles, let me know, I can post or PM single pages.
Or...if I could move the complete doc to Google Drive that anyone could read only....along with other documents I have.

I just replaced all 12 on our 400 i

 

I did the 8 on my 308, but I didn't lube them, just stretched them on. The reason was I didn't want them to move when I pressed the injectors into the mounting collar in the manifold. I lubed the outside for that.

 

Jacques, glad you got the o-rings, your PM box is full.
