Compatibility
Fits vehicles equipped with the PSA 2.2 HDi engine family. Typical applications include Citroën C8 and other Citroën/Peugeot models using the 2.2 HDi engine. Also compatible with certain Ford models that use PSA-sourced 2.2 HDi powertrains. Always check part numbers against your application list before installation.
Function and Typical Lifespan
Injectors precisely meter and atomize diesel fuel into the combustion chamber at high pressure to ensure efficient combustion, low emissions and smooth running. Lifespan depends on fuel quality, maintenance and operating conditions; failures are more likely as mileage increases (commonly noticeable after 100,000–200,000 km in poorly maintained systems).
Installation Recommendations
- Replace injector seals and O-rings with new ones during installation to ensure proper sealing and prevent leaks.
- Use an appropriate injector puller and follow the manufacturer’s removal procedure to avoid damaging the cylinder head.
- Torque injector hold-down bolts to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification (refer to service manual for exact values).
- After fitting, prime the fuel system and bleed any air. Check for fuel leaks at injection points and high-pressure connections.
- For best results, consider flow-testing or balancing injectors on a test bench before installation or have them inspected by a professional injector specialist.
- Always follow safety procedures: relieve fuel system pressure and disconnect the battery before starting work.
Most Common Failure Reasons
- Contaminated or poor-quality diesel fuel causing nozzle clogging and wear.
- Worn internal components after long service or high mileage.
- Leaking seals or damaged O-rings that allow air ingress or fuel loss.
- Electrical faults in the injector driver or wiring (less common but possible).
- Excessive soot buildup or poor DPF/engine maintenance affecting injector operation.
