Injector recon prices
Ive been trying to get prices for my cdti 150 injectors to be tested/recon, Ive been quoted £42 for testing & the recon should be depending what needs doing £100'ish, As anyone else had there's done & what price did you pay, Thanks in advance!.
Anybody used hi tec in b'ham they have an ebay advert for recon's at £85.
Just took my motor in and got charged £60 for a test (incl VAT), and was told all 4 injectors failed the threshold test. To remove and recondition all 4 injectors they want £95 per injector plus VAT, plus £100 labour - all in £574.80.
Bit more than I was hoping so currently looking for postal services so I can remove and fit myself.
Been looking around & it seems £84 ish is about the cheapest postal or drop off/pick up price i can find,

Not had any experience of these but only going on there feedback at the mo.
I take it you would be going for the refurbish of your current injectors option though to avoid having to get the reconditioned ones recoded?
Let me know if you proceed with these guys as the price is a bit easier to stomach! Even if you have to buy a reseating tool for £40 its nearly £200 cheaper than the price I currently have.
Just been looking into this some more and spoke with the ebay seller who confirmed that he could recon my existing injectors for £84 each - however I was only going down this route as I thought it would save me getting them re-coded, but he has said the injectors will still need to be recoded.
My local VX dealer will charge me £86.40 to do this, but I will then need to get the car to them (no real issue to tow). So the savings arent as good as I was hoping....£336 for all 4 injectors....£45 for a re-seating tool.....£86 to re-code Total price £467.00. Still just over a £100 cheaper than the diesel specialist I went to but wondering if it would be worth just getting them to do. Altho I now wonder if they realise they have to re-code them.....
the-wizard - have you sorted your injectors yet?
If the same injector goes back in the same place they shouldn't need recoding.
Also anyone with Tech2 or similar software will be able to recode them.
You will probably find they will swap your injectors with off the shelf cleaned injectors if they are going to need to be coded. Like you say just ask them why they would need to be recoded.
If you have uncoded injectors the ecu wont see them and not fire so no fuel will be injected (I think thats how the CDTi is immobilised)
I have asked so will wait for the reply! They do sell off the shelf cleaned injectors but also specifically advertise that they will also recon your old ones so will see what they say. If I need to get car towed to have them recoded its just another hassle factor!Originally Posted by lee gsi
Personally, don't scrimp when it comes to the injectors and use a recognised agent (that you visit personally)
I would expect a refurb to be around £300 to £500
Ask what warranty terms they offer
Sadly they are generally very poor at 1 year for the parts and 3 months / 1K miles for the labour
However, performed correctly they should last 3 years / 60K miles easily
Finally, the injector rail should also be replaced
So ask what condition it is in once they have removed the injectors
A reputable outlet should say the cost includes a new rail and joints (head and seals)
