Just finished the injectors install ... they are 72 lbs Bosch from Tony !
I have used all the DIY of the forum and all were very helpful ... but, to do this job you need more than skill ... you need fortune, patience ...but, at the end, it's a PITA ... PITA ... PITA ... PITA !!!

Did i say PITA ?

Anyway, now that everything has gone to the right place i wouldn't do it again !!!
Now the car sits in the box waiting for the right tune ... next week!

And, here it comes the question, that probably has nothing to do with the injectors ... during the installation i had to lift the right side of the car to take apart the right intercooler to reach the coil plugs and disconnect them because they didn't allow to take the fuel rail from the engine bay.
Well, during this operation i have noticed that the water level in the cooler expansion tank was a little bit low (due to the inclination of the car) ... so, when i put down the car to start the engine came immediately a flashing light in the water temperature gauge.
The manual says that this light comes for 2 reasons, if the temperature is too high (and this is not the case) or if the level of the water is too low.
So, i immediately added the quantity to reach the max level but the light stays on even if i switch off/on the car.
Does anybody know if it's necessary to disconnect the battery to erase the message or could have i touched some sensor or plug during the installation of the injectors ?
I have checked the level sensor and it's in place ... so, i don't know where to look now ?
Any input appreciated !!!

Did i say it was a PITAAAAAAAA ?!!!!

 

was this more of a PITA than changing plugs and coils?

any special tools or procedures required?

 

If, in a scale 1-10, changing plugs and coils is 3, changing injectors is 11 !!!
The problem is that this is a job where nothing has to go in the wrong way ... but the main problem is the lack of space !
I did it without lowering the engine but if you have very big hands this is not your job !
No special tools and the procedures - DIY injectors install tips - made by EPL and Skandalis are just perfect

 

It sounds like you would have saved some time by just dropping the motor.

 

Props for taking that job on. Try bleeding the cooling system, that is most likely why you got the light. Takes 5-min.

Good luck

 

Glad you get them in! Next time consider hitting the 2 motor mount nuts underneath the car, you can drop the motor ~5" in about 10 minutes.

 

CHeck to make sure you didn't bump/disconnect the coolant level sensor switch on the bottom of the tank.

 

Yes, right now i was thinking that there are 2 possibilities, the first is what you say (even if i have checked it and looks to be in position but it's hard to reach without removing again the airbox and something else ) the second could be the temperature sensor right behind the alternator ... i could have touched the connector without knowing it !

 

Punisher - I'm with you. It is a PITA. I once did it twice in the same week! (trying different sets of injectors)

Nice job getting it done.

 

whats a pita???is it like a taco?

 

What size are the factory injectors? I c guys putting in 58lb and 72lb. What other sizes if any are availible and least problematic to put in?

 

PITA = Pain In The Ass

 

stock ones are 430cc if memory serves right.

aftermarket injectors are cheap insurance for your fuel system to work properly paired with a proper tune.

 

any ideas what giac will charge for a retune mine is 5 years old ....

 

All kinds of knowledge to be gained at the 6.
