Hi OzBargainers, first discussion post here as I am curious what the view is of OzBargainers regarding repairing your common rail diesel injectors.
Have you tried repairing your (diesel) injectors yourself?
I noticed that injectors are crazy expensive (up to 800 bucks a pop), but found you could purchase repair kits for around 80 bucks. Given that these kits contain a solenoid and a complete nozzle + pen to actuate the injector, I am wondering whether you have experience refurbishing your own injector to reduce cost?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
Cheers,

Depends how much you value your time and sanity.
Went down this rabbit hole with my q7 injectors being $800 a pop new. They pretty much said buy new ones as once theyre toast its not really worth putting them back in.
$4800 later and i proudly no longer own said car.
