Hello Everyone
Has anyone had any experience in trying to change a Vito Injector.
I have one that has a bad leak off problem.
Cheers

Soak the injector for a couple of days in penetrating oil, Start the engine and let it run until it gets up to 80 deg. The carbon gunk softens and the injector should come out - just twisting side-to-side with a spanner. or you could apply some heat around the injector with a heat gun?
Coca cola is known to work instead of penetrating oil as it is a metal injector in aluminium head, but they can be a real pain (good luck)
