Is it common or reasonable that the fuel Injection Copper seals need replacement in a 2008 Doblo 1.3 Multijet with 80k on the clock. (being quoted €190.) This car had problems previously with the DPF system which are now resolved. Kept clogging and not clearing hence needed servicing more often. would apprecite any advice.
 
As far as I'm aware, the only reason to replace these is if the injectors have been out.

However, on saying that, the Mercedes ML used to suffer from blow by. This was basically the injectors coming loose and allowing the fuel to escape & combust, which allowed a huge build up of carbon.

I haven't heard of this particular problem on FIAT though.....
 
Soak the injector with penetrating oil for at least a week.
Unbolt it for a few turns ( but not completely....) and start the engine for just a few seconds, and in most cases. compression will free the injector.
Unbolt it, take it out, put a new copperseal on, and retighten with the correct torque, done.

End result Fiat dealer stated it took 15 hours labour, had to get in speacilised tools, replace pipes to jets. Billed for 12 hours cost me €900 feel ripped off.

Apologies for straying off topic, but would the above described blow by problem from the injectors cause excessive pressure in the lower part of the engine block?
I'm wondering if this could be the cause of the excessive pressure in my 1.9JTD

contacted fiat customer support. useless kept advising they were not in a position to compensate. Not what I wanted (advice and a fair hearing to undersatnd the problems I encountered.) 1st and last fiat ill ever own.
 
no but certainly felt like it.dealer was no better excuses. just want rid of the heap of S***
 
Regeneration system not working , injectors clogged, fuel lines replaced as leaking, clutch relaced , steering problems, wish bones, door slides, boot suspension arms. oil changes evey 5/6 months.
rightly or woringly I always stay with dealer to keep history right. Not nice driving a car you cannot trust.Only good thing the space it has. Fix It Again Tomorrow so true.
 
Guess what good old reliable Fiat Doblo 1.3 Multijet goes faulty again .Regenerating every 2 weeks after being serviced. Injectors leaking again after dealership in Wicklow fixed so well and so expensively just a year ago, then when owner questioned re same and other repairs tells me to bring the car elsewhere. Mechanic reckons they have been leaking for quite a while now. Globe plugs faulty oh and clutch pedal connection just manages to break. Well done fiat what a wonderful car. (So many similar problems in your vehicles ,coincidence perhaps.) 8 years of problems I have endured. You should be proud of the vehicles you’re producing. I’m certainly not a proud owner and will make every effort to let peolpe know.
 
Clutch master cylinder operating rod ????? plastic S**t
Wishbone Rubbers to soft this helps tire wear no end swivel joints not so much of a problem.
Glow plugs changed 2 on 3 vans we have.
No injector leaks
No fuel pipe problems
All vans did over 130K
Both had new clutches at 120K Berlingos did 250k even the transit managed 190k
Other than the back door lock (all vans & more than once) no problems they have the twin sliding & are used a lot.
Never had the regen run but it does get driven enthusiastically :D:D
Rear shocks at 120K
Rear springs just don't go there chewing gum has a longer life without coil assists we recon 3 sets in 130K (all 3)
Turbo pipe the 3peice metal one 60K (2vans)
Thermostat 60K (1van)
Wishbones every 30Kish (all3)
The funny wont start after stopping for short time, or drop below 2000rpm engine dies then picks up OK, engine sensor. (1van)
