    In theory I only needed one but I went on ebay and found a whole set with rail for £25 removed from a Zafira B with 71000 miles on.

    I wouldn't of gone for new, Half the price of car! I think the injector was failing from the day I got the car as she is alot more pokier to drive!

    I did also notice with the new injectors I got that the clips on the side were orange and not yellow, maybe a newer variant? But none the less I am over the moon that it's all fixed.

    I didn't have any fuel smell at all as the injector was completely dead. But I do still have 3 injectors sat in my shed.

    Vehicle : Opel vectra C caravan

    Trim : Vectra C Caravan

    Engine : 1.9 cdti

    Year : 2005

    confused I have the same problem but...

    Hello, I want to ask you about my 1.9 cdti 120hp. My main problem is when you hold it at about 1200 in idle, you can feel shaking in the car, as well as the smell of burnt fuel comes out of the hood and enters in the saloon. the car began to use more fuel than before. I changed all filters except diesel filter. cleared all the sensors,I feel that the motor is not working as well as before. he started some kind of jerking and little loss of power at low rpm. No warning lights, no problem found with diagnostic tool.
    HEED HELP thank you.
