Nice video. May I add some corrections. When loosening rocker arm securing bolts the right sequence is form outward to inwards. Inwards - outwards when tightening rocker arm securing bolts - new must be used. For ease of rotating - remove glow plugs. Also ballpin and adjustment screws have to be inspected for wear and replaced if found. Rotate via crank no camshaft. New cover gasket doesn`t need any silicone. Tightening the bolts to specified torque - 10Nm and in right sequence will prevent warping of the cover do there are no leaks. VW states as a MUST to use sleeves. Quote: Always use the assembly sleeves to fit the O-rings. There is a danger of damaging the O-rings if the sleeves are not used. Thumb up for this video. Nice job mate.
Great video...only one criticism . You should turn the engine over by the crank shaft, not the cam. So easy for the timing to slip foing it with the cam
Very informative, my 1.9 pd has recently started coughing out blue/grey smoke on start up and the fumes coming from exhaust smell slightly oily even when the smoke clears (it’s there for about 30 seconds 💨 and doesn’t show any as I’m driving). I’ve read on forums, injector seals, tandem pump, turbo bearing seals. I’ve just dipped my oil (changed 3 weeks ago) and yep, it stinks of diesel 😞. In your opinion would this point more towards the seals than T pump ? The oil level hasn’t risen, it just smells. 1.9 ATD PD 2003, 118k miles. Thank you 🤙🏼🤙🏼 Edit…. Thankfully I have a place near me called “Just German Parts”, they do Febi etc.
Nice touch undoing the rocker adjusters before removing the rockers and then doing the lash.... Most people seem to just throw the new injectors in and whack the rockers back on.
👍👍This is the best video I've seen on doing this, is it the same process on t5 174 bpc engine .had new cam lifters and injector seals done about 3years ago but think injectors need replacing as getting white smoke and smell of diesel in the exhaust fumes like its over fuleing .
Please check the 'live date' coolant temps first, check from cold and compare the air temp to the coolant temp, should only be slightly off from each other, and check once warm at 90C on the dash and see if the ECU temp is the same. These go wrong a lot.
I have some questions if you don't mind shedding light on, one being how do you know the full compression point without just looking at the spring and where did you get the one time use bolt replacement, also brilliant tutorial 👏 it's helped me no end
Excellent video mate!! Respect for using hands and wrenches to loosen bolts !!! One thing, whats the torque for the one time,lol .. use bolt that holds the injector? Thanks again and keep up the good work !!
This video was super helpful I got a pd130 golf mk4 and I love it but this EGR valve is driving me crazy with the oil leak, everyone tells me its a common problem with all PD engines but I really want to fix it, please can you make a video on that, they told me that even if I buy a new replacement EGR it will start to leak a few months later so I dont know what to do at this point
@@RestoDesignsnando Thank you. I've just got another pd I've not had one for years I have been running cr golf and seat but found my self with another pd with white smoky issues
I've just done this to my mk5 1.9tdi BXE. Newly fully refurbished Bosch Pd injectors (professional rebuild not a home eBay effort) and now the car idles fine,no black smoke and no lumpy Shake anymore so definitely much improved. Let it idle for 20 minutes and then went for a drive. But didn't work out as car won't rev much past 3.5/4 rpm Have done the 180.wind back etc. Wire loom is perfect all terminals good. Did have a flashing glow plugs light but next day managed to clear the codes. Haven't ran any injectors diagnosis as my obd reader is Car Scanner app. Anyway I assume this is a common issue after changing Injectors. Any tips would be appreciated. Great video.
Hi there, did you get your injectors refurbished or fit other refurbished injectors? If you fitted another set of injectors then that could be your issue, did they ask you for your ECU number? or your old injectors code? You'll need to get the ecu coded to the new injectors.
I have a few questions about fumes so that when starting engine I get white smoke and few minutes after when running also and I think that is mixed with oil with oil smell but it desapear after the engine become at 90'
Your video was a godsend. thanks! I did it today and my Passat B6 tdi sounds great...Afterwards I have yellow check engine light on though and loss of power when MAF connected.. fine without MAF but still no turbo... I'm wondering is it software? Idle is way better than berofe.
@@RestoDesignsnando My check engine light on was caused by not doing the clip properly at the tube to the EGR valve.. tube came loose hence no turbo. Did that up and car runs great. thanks again!
@@waheedakram5182 I'm only had my 1 in the garage today & number 3 is giving a misfire so I've got 2 spare injectors there I'll be leaving them up to be serviced tomorrow & then get it replaced asap but apart from that I think the engine are bulletproof got mine years now & still happy with there's no loss in speed & just keeps going compared to other stuff that ive had 👍☘️🇮🇪
Excellent video, unfortunately I dropped one of the thin nuts for locking the injectors down and am now trying to source a replacement, 😒😒. Can you tell me what the the silver filter like part is on the drivers side of the radiator? I've just seen mine is hanging lose and the alloy top pipe is broken. Not a good day.. time for a beer.
Looking for advice. I have a Caddy 1.9 BLS. Tapping sound on acceleration, found that diesel is getting into the oil. Some oil residue on the fuel filter. Coolant level not dropping and no oil in the coolant. I need to know what the chances of it being head gasket or injector seals. Thanks in advance
Those 105 PD's are know for head gasket issues, diesel oil the on this engine I would look at the injector seals first. If the engine doesn't over heat or have any oil water mix.
Ok many thanks for the advice. There is a tapping sound on acceleration, doesn't make this sound on idle. Would that be the sound that a loose leaky injector could make? Do i follow all the same steps in your video to do the seals on the PD105. Many thanks, Andrew
Bom video!

Just a quick tip if you were doing just the injector you dnt need to take of the tb or non of that the valve cover comes off easy in there just so you can save some time 🙏
Im having problem turning the engine after tightening the first injector. Is it possible there is fuel in the valve? I didnt do any eptying before I took apart the injectors and they had diesel in them..
A place near me called “just German Parts” They’re online and have a walk in shop. Near Preston, Lancashire. I need to do mine, I’m getting smoke on start up and oil stinks of diesel.
Mr……, dude……, you’ve saved me !!! Can you believe I was quoted £845 for this job! Robbing fucks! Only wish I still had the mk2 I sold back in 97!!! Love your channel.

Hi there, I have polo 1.4 petrol 9n It start jerking at idle or stopped position. But it runs fine at long drive on motorway. I have changed spark plug and ignition coils too. I have changed the fuel injectors as well. But issue seems to be on very left piston when i take out the ignition coil it engine does not react anything when i take out the other coil engine start jerking that means issue is with left piston compartment. Please advise what else i can try. Regards
Hey mate, thank you for the video, I've seen a bunch of mechanics that fail to do the part of timing after mounting the injectors, they usually just bolt it down and start the engine (part starting at 14:00), what could happen if that task was not properly done?
A few things, I once had a PD come where the injector rocker had broken off and came though the cam cover due to being too tight, this adjustment is the timing and amount of fuel injected. So for best power/economy and smoother running, it's best to adjust them all the same, you can then fine tune them even more using VAG-COM, much like the VE TDI pump timing adjustment settings.
@@RestoDesignsnando hey, i had the fortune to have my injector seals changed by a garage, i'm suspecting that he didn't adjust the injectors and just tightened the bolts, the car starts fine when cold, once it gets warm, the engine starts shaking a bit to much at idle, and starting it gets a bit longer than cold (sometimes the engine would stall). Is it possible to simply adjust the belt or should the injectors get adjusted all over again?
Could I use a smaller copper washer to drop the injector height so I can get a better seal, as I saw some ware on the wall injectors were actually loose
Yes the heads to wear around the O rings. I haven't tried anything like that or heard of someone trying that ( doesn't mean it can't be done) two maybe issues come to mind, 1would the injector tip protrude more and in doing so hit the piston? plus would the spray pattern/angle be the same? 2 the fuel rail is in the head, lowering the injector would maybe mean poor fuel flow to all the injectors due to the holes not 100% lining up? These may not be an issue, just something to maybe think about.
I’m having some issues with my mk4 Golf pd150 arl….. always suspected injectors. It gives white smoke on start up and bad misfire for a good 5 mins until engine warmed up then it runs absolutely fine…. I would like to attempt seal change myself but I’m wondering if it’s worth while going to cheap mechanic who quoted me 100 for used injectors and 100 to fit them
Any advice would be much appreciated…. I’ve came to far with car to stop now.. Refurbished turbo, new Tandem Pump, boost hoses, new coolant hoses, sensors changed, new injector wire loom….. all needed doing anyway but I was hoping after all that my cold start misfire would be sorted… (wishful thinking)
It does sound like the seals are leaking, if the used injectors are 100% trust worthy then yes get both replaced, but make sure you code the. injectors to the ECU, for that you will need the ECU number from those secondhand injectors, otherwise it will not perform right.
@@RestoDesignsnando changed the seals done the lashing as per your video…… car is now struggling to start, I used easy start and it runs but as soon as I try move the car it cuts out🤷🏽♂️
Did this cause low oil pressure issues? I do have an injecor leak but I've also been getting low oil pressure lights at warm idle I get around 10-15 psi
What would be a reasonable time charged from a garage to do this job? My VW Passat b6 is doing this job due to a issue on cold start engine turns but hard to start (injectors seals)! 👍🔝🙏😉
@@RestoDesignsnando thanks so much for the quick reply! Yes my mechanic told me that normally he likes to change the wiring with a new set! Labour and parts I'm looking at what 300€? Adding Head gasket seal! Thanks 👍🙏👌
@@snowflake6916 thnx for the reply. Can you please tell me how to remove the intake pipe off from the turbo. I have an audi a3 tdi 1.9tdi 55 reg. It has an oil leak coming from the top rear of the engine. However I need to take the big intake pipe off to have a good view. But there is hardly any room to put my hand with a plier. Your reply will be much appreciated
Hmmmm that I don't know, I know why they need to be straight to due to the holes to line up with the holes in the head, as the fuel rail is in the head, ok so after typing that out, I guess if one wasn't straight it would then limit the fuel flow to the other injectors along.
Just wondering, I’ve been diagnosed as blow between injectors 3 and 4, could this be solved by injector seals? Been advised new head would be a 100% fix but not convinced, also the price quoted gave me a nose bleed! Any help appreciated cheers
Unfortunately the heads do wear around where the seals are, You could try your luck fitting a fresh set of seals using a good amount of oil on the seals. I have seen here in Portugal a place fix the head with an copper insert.
@@RestoDesignsnando Thank you so much Sir! I have VW bolts and just torqued then to 12nm. Your tutorial has certainly helped me to get the rebuilt injector part of this build done. I appreciate you Sir
I’ve just stripped the threads on the retaining bolt that holds the injector down, 12nm I think is fine, but I feel 1/4 of a turn is safer than 3/4 of a turn. It’s also impossible to drill out and tap to the next size up as you can’t get in with a drill as the shoulders that hold the cam down are to close to the hole, I would have to take the head off and take it to the machine shop. I’ve fixed the stripped threads with copper wire and it feels ok, I left it at 16nm. Brilliant video, everything make complete sense & is easy to follow thank you

When loosening rocker arm securing bolts the right sequence is form outward to inwards.
Inwards - outwards when tightening rocker arm securing bolts - new must be used.
For ease of rotating - remove glow plugs.
Also ballpin and adjustment screws have to be inspected for wear and replaced if found.
Rotate via crank no camshaft.
New cover gasket doesn`t need any silicone. Tightening the bolts to specified torque - 10Nm and in right sequence will prevent warping of the cover do there are no leaks.
VW states as a MUST to use sleeves. Quote: Always use the assembly sleeves to fit the O-rings. There is a danger of damaging the O-rings if the sleeves are not used.

When you say sleeves do you mean for the injectors ???
Great video...only one criticism .
You should turn the engine over by the crank shaft, not the cam. So easy for the timing to slip foing it with the cam

@@RestoDesignsnando thanks so much for the quick reply! Yes my mechanic told me that normally he likes to change the wiring with a new set! Labour and parts I'm looking at what 300€? Adding Head gasket seal! Thanks 👍🙏👌
@@ricardopinto1765 The Bosch seals 15€ x4, wiring from VW 80-/+€ yes 300€ sounds ok.
@@RestoDesignsnando once again thanks! 🙏👌👏

How did you put the new washers on the injectors
I did this, all you do is remove the old ones with a small flat head screwdriver and then using some lube spray slide the new ones on.
@@snowflake6916 thnx for the reply. Can you please tell me how to remove the intake pipe off from the turbo. I have an audi a3 tdi 1.9tdi 55 reg. It has an oil leak coming from the top rear of the engine. However I need to take the big intake pipe off to have a good view. But there is hardly any room to put my hand with a plier. Your reply will be much appreciated
Love the idea of the PD engine in the mk3. Did you do the harness work yourself?
No I got a friend to do the wiring side of the PD.
Hi mate. Where did u get your febi seal kit. Thanks
Got it from a parts supplier, like euro car parts & Auto-Doc online.
Merci bonne vidéo....
Tell me your not turning the engine over via the camshaft sprocket?????
Very cool👍
Thank you.
So how do the smaller orings come out and the brass seat?
Just use a pliers to turn the brass seal and it'll come off, there is a very small metal spring clips the just holds it up.

Thanks mate

what happens if the injectors are not insert straight w what effect would it have on the car ?
Hmmmm that I don't know, I know why they need to be straight to due to the holes to line up with the holes in the head, as the fuel rail is in the head, ok so after typing that out, I guess if one wasn't straight it would then limit the fuel flow to the other injectors along.
I think they just need to be basically straight, not perfect. Due to the clamp.
Nice video though shouldn't you replace the M10 triple square bolts? :)
Yes you are meant too, 😉
Do u have to code it again ?
No need to.
Just wondering, I’ve been diagnosed as blow between injectors 3 and 4, could this be solved by injector seals? Been advised new head would be a 100% fix but not convinced, also the price quoted gave me a nose bleed! Any help appreciated cheers
Unfortunately the heads do wear around where the seals are, You could try your luck fitting a fresh set of seals using a good amount of oil on the seals. I have seen here in Portugal a place fix the head with an copper insert.
What torque on the injector retainer bolts? Saw you doing it just no torque numbers.
Hi there, I use non VW non-stretch bolts, which is why I didn't state the torque numbers, using new OE bolts, the figures are 12nm + 270 degrees
@@RestoDesignsnando Thank you so much Sir! I have VW bolts and just torqued then to 12nm. Your tutorial has certainly helped me to get the rebuilt injector part of this build done. I appreciate you Sir
@@stephentooke1770 Thanks for watching, glad you found this helpful 👍🏼
I’ve just stripped the threads on the retaining bolt that holds the injector down, 12nm I think is fine, but I feel 1/4 of a turn is safer than 3/4 of a turn. It’s also impossible to drill out and tap to the next size up as you can’t get in with a drill as the shoulders that hold the cam down are to close to the hole, I would have to take the head off and take it to the machine shop. I’ve fixed the stripped threads with copper wire and it feels ok, I left it at 16nm. Brilliant video, everything make complete sense & is easy to follow thank you
I have sum question about this
17:13 Can someone tell me what he means by "the lash"? Does it mean turn it 180° back from where it gets harder to tighten it?
Yes. Set cam to maximum lift, then turn adjustment to bottom, then back half turn.
@resto designs. Where abouts in the UK are u based?
When I'm in the UK, London 👍🏼
@@RestoDesignsnando do the glow plugs have to be removed when setting injector timing?
Well, mine was still M6 triple square not M4. 1.9 Tdi 77kW BXE

i thought ur never meant to turn a engine off the cam.. i’ve always been told to use the crack…
yes you are 100% right, it is safer to turn the engine via the crank centre bolt.
@@RestoDesignsnando thought so
Remove glow plugs so resistance is low.
what's the cost's of this job ??
The seal kits themselves can be anywhere between 15€ to 40€ each.
@@RestoDesignsnando and what about mechanics costs??
@@davwcki367 All depends on where in the world you are and the garage hourly rate, the 'Book Time' for this job is 1.4 hours so this will help you workout the costs.
My car also doesn't want to get started same engine like that
What sort of milage are we at when this needs doing? 🤔☺️
I can only talk from what I've came across, first time I did this was around 2007 on a 2002 mk4 with 120k, mileage plays a part, but I also think age does as well, a bit like a timing belt, 60k or 5 years.
Appreciate quick response 😊👍
