Injector help please

coupebrett · Jun 13th, 2019, 00:27

I currently have a intermittent misfire on idle and I have ordered 3 new injectors!
Can it be done on a vida system and how if it can?
Order does it need to go to the dealers?
My car is a 2008 d5
Thanks brett

Some injectors are plug and play, some can be be coded using Vida only and some need dealer software.

If you have Vida, the Replacement, Removal and Overhaul section will outline the replacement procedure for your exact car and what actions if any are required for correct injector function.

In some cases, the injectors will be stamped or marked with a calibration code that needs to be loaded into the car's ECU so it can account for the characteristics of each injector.

There is a handy bit of software from a Czech company called VDASH that I've seen the option to change the injector coding without a VIDA subscription but supports the DICE cable.
