General Injector fault warnings :(

[Code Breaker]

Ducato 3.0 2015 comfortmatic 43k miles, sits happily on idling but when driving I've got errors on injector 1 (P0262) and 3 (P0268), *fuel gauge drops to zero*. I've had injector 4 replaced and this reads 175ohms across pins within 2 seconds, with an ohm meter, however, the on the rest of the 3 injectors, the meter readings climb up slowly. I believe 1,2,3 are faulty but 2 never shows an error.

3.0 Injector clamp Bolts. Does anyone know where to get these for a reasonable price as they're extortionate prices out there.

Could this be it? https://www.aubiri.eu/injector-holder-iveco-daily-since-2000-fiat-ducato-since-2002-2-3-3-0-p6503/

(Personally I'd rather put genuine in rather than cheap , but your choice)

I use 85mm X 8mm 1.25p 8.8 high tensile zinc plated hex bolts

Stretch bolts aren't cheap to start with, I'd just bite the bullet with genuine.

How much have to you seen them for ?

How about these> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125110064210

Double check fitment, but when I was searching earlier it looks like 2.3 and 3 are same part

That postage costs bring it to over £20 a bolt

Why would you need stretch bolts. You are only holding an injector down.
Just make sure there is clearance and the thread in the head is very clean. A tube on a vacuum must be used & the use of a scriber or similar to be sure nothing is left in the hole. I put a thin coating of grease around the shank to hopefully make it easier to remove one day down the track.

But if you're buying a full set the postage remains the same and you can split it over several bolts.

I agree, but I was only going by what I was told that they have to be stretch bolts, as im working around the vehicle to restore everything i can to original. I'll look at what is available and prepare as I'm awaiting delivery of 3 new injectors.

I think you may be looking at head bolts. The injector bolts are low torque. Make sure you know your torque settings.
