Fuel injectors and cam chain

[hellhawk]

Hi all,
how is everybody?

What is the service interval (cleaning etc.) for diesel fuel injectors?

and is the cam chain a life time part or is there a recommended replacement age/milage?

Thanks in advance

The Terrano diesel engine camshaft is gear driven not chain, and needs zero maintenance. :thumbs

Zippy will post you a link to the service manual for you to search injectors...:thumbs:thumbs

The 3.0 litre engine is chain driven though, but these things usually have at least a 200k mile lifecycle...

80-100k would be a good interval for refurbing the injectors to keep them at peak efficiency.

Timbo what would a man of your expertise say constitutes a refurb and where would you get it done?:thumbs

 

[Timbo_1975]

New nozzles, and check / crack pressure, new copper washers. At a reputable diesel specialist. There are 100 rubbish ones for every 1 good one IME.

Can't you mail order them or did you need someone to remove/replace them as well?

 

[hellhawk]

I need the terrano, so posting them is not an option, if there was someone local i would remove them and hopefully get them done there and then.

Can they be cleaned up with ultrasonics or do the nozzels have to be replaced?

 

[Timbo_1975]

Depends on the spray pattern when put on the machine. For the price of nozzles, i wouldnt mess about with not replacing them whilst the injectors are out.
