D5 (D5244T to 2005) injector cange d5 185 hk

[Torbrox]

my engine started to viberate under 2000 rpm,loss of power.
took of covers over injectors, started it and disconected injectors one at time,(el connection)
cylinder 1,no change in vibrations. 2-5 big cange.(mutch more)
that indicates cylinder 1 is misfiring.
ordered new injector, and looked for instuctions for changing injector.
facts: yes you can change injetor and use it without updating data system.
an upgrade is recomended for optimal engine.1 hour job on volvo service shop.

Have you tried using a direct feed injector cleaner ??

About half of all injector faults are caused by gum deposits and all you need do to remove them is use a direct feed cleaner. The easy way to do that is to fill up the fuel filter housing when changing the filter. I use Liqui Moly Diesel Purge every time I change fuel filters and half a can (250 ml) is enough for a filter fill.

Does yours have the grey engine cover then being the 185. I was under the impression the euro 4s needed there injectors coding to the ecu unlike the earlier euro 3s which have a class code. I need to change an injector only euro 4 but thought it would be a dealer job as per my posting on here I was told this was the case by clan who we all know knows his onions so I'm not going to say he is wrong would be interested to know how yours runs now

I have the later injectors with no code and you set them up through the ECU. There is an inbuilt program that you can activate through Vida to set and balance them.
I am confused about something else in your comment though as mine has the later injectors and the grey engine cover but the V5c says it's 163bhp not 185?

Grey cover basically means Euro4 with a dpf.
They did a 163 (badged 2.4D) which you have and they also did a 185 (badged D5).

Can you explain a bit more in setting up the injectors.
I have the later ones, and the program mentions that there is nothing to do to set them up?
Mine is 2003 163hp

With that engine and year, yours don't need setting up.

Hi, using the Dice interface with Vida software there is a section you can get into that does live diagnostics. You can then select to check the injectors and it will go through a sequence of tests. The main one kills one injector at a time and monitors the drop in engine rpm. (You should have already established that you do not have any other problems like low compression or faulty injectors first). If the test shows a noticeable imbalance, you can select to balance the injectors. The ecu will set them up and balance them providing they are within acceptable tolerances. If you do have faulty injectors this test will show you which ones. It does not cover leak tests, just efficiency of injecting the fuel into the engine.
I hope that helps.
Martin.

Hi, I took my injectors out last week. 1-4 came straight out. Number 5 was a nightmare. Seized solid. Flooded it with plus gas for two days and still nothing. Resorted to pneumatic impact vibrator and it moved. I thought it was sorted but all that had happened was the injector had undone slightly down by the injection nozzle.
I ended up buying a heavy duty removal kit with a slide hammer. This did the job but it took a while and I had destroyed the injector.
I have also read of people that had resorted to breaking the rocker cover so they could then take the head off to get the injector out.
It is often mentioned that this problem stems from people removing or changing an injector and failing to replace the copper sealing washer that fit far down inside the hole. Using the old washer does not seal properly and combustion gas leaks up past it and forms carbon all around the injector side wall which seizes it in place. The daft thing is that the new washers are less than £1 each.
