Hi everyone, i started rebuilding the new head for my 300tdi disco, all valves and springs fitted ect and all sensors changed over, also port and polished. the issue im having is that im using the injectors from the old head, 3 of which came out fine but injector number 4 ( rear injector as you look at it) it totally siezed, tried head and tried penetration spray but theres is no movement whatsoever, so i have accepted i need to buy a new injector but the issue is that the injector has a wire coming off of it indicating my car has EDC?? and im lead to believe the injectors for these are rare as rocking horse proverbial.... anyone know where can i get one? (it needs to have the wire with the plug on the end)

Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick, when you say it's seized, do you mean you can't remove it from the head; or is it seized in some other way?

As this is an electronic injector perhaps it won't do what you expect until it has some volts attached?

Incidentally, the easiest and surest way to establish if the engine is EDC is as follows:

1. Does it have a Bowden cable accelerator pedal or an electrical cable?

2. Does it have a Mass Airflow meter in the air inlet plastic piping between the airfilter box and the turbo?

Lots of peeps on here have turned their EDC cars into manual pump ones for the reason you mention - rarity of injector no.4 plus the ability to tune the manual pump at no cost to gain more power.

Might just be worth thinking about?

The last TDi that I had (sold a couple of months ago) was converted and after a good service and tune-up she went very well.

Is the old head scrap? Would it be possible to cut it out?

Well I'd rather not just because I want to get it skimmed and tested then sell it on, hopefully get the money back for the new cylinder head.
