    Is it like the newer VAG CR ones where each injector is 'compensated for' by the ECU to allow for manufacturing tolerances?

    crikey matey.. you've lost me there!! lol..

    all I know is cars get me to and from places..

    apparently the injector can loose it's parameters which is highlighted by engine management light coming on and a loss of power etc..
    if relatively low mileage then it can be recoded using the numbers on the injector/engine..

    got it booked in to a local place after not having any luck finding someone who can do it without ripping me off (ie local Frauds dealership) will see if it works tomorrow..

    Yeah what I think it is mate is that the injectors are sort of graded on the production line and then given a number which roughly equates to an offset. By inputting this into the ECU it can accurately calculate injection time and thus quantity of fuel injected.

    thanks for the offer fez.. just had car back from garage and they've recoded the injectors and all seems well...

    I think I may buy some in the near future anyway as if they're prone to failure then I might as well get them changed.. I'll see how I get on..

    I'm just happy it's fixed tbh!

    thanks for the offer fez..

    Bloody hell from what I reading it sounds like they've sacked off their quality control methods and charging the customer to sort the mess

    lol
    it was £56inc VAT mate.. had been quoted up to £90 plus VAT so I'm happy enough...
    I would jump in at this business mate tbh, as it seems a very quick way to make easy money.. btw how much did you pay for your 'kit'?.. might be worth investing lol

    Dont think so, common rail systems can be at 24,000psi so its going to be very expensive to make an injector totally accurate
