Fiat will charge you about £250 all in to change 1 injector. Its about a 3hr job. You can get the injectors from a more direct route (they are made by Weber) for £50 each.

3hrs? bloody hell...lol

I think even i could do it in less time than that, don't they just unscrew?

Nope! You've gotta take the manifold off and apart to get them out.

Hello everyone here is a subject
i need advice on, i have a bravo
1.4sx my injector is doing my
head in nearly everyday the light
comes on so the engine misfires
if i park and turn engine off and
leave for few minutes and restart
it stops. I have had for year now
so decided to call fiat for a
laugh they said £80 just for
injector thought they were less
asked how much fitting? He had no
clue , how hard is it to replace?
Can a normal person with little
or no experience do it or need a
garage? It's my next problem to
solve thank you in advance Scott.
