Folks,
Due to various screw-ups with my service, Toyota are refusing to pay for the warranty repairs. That's for another topic though as it's all in the air still.
When it went in, I mentioned the noisy engine, heavy smoking on acceleration (which is actually gone now)
They said the injectors were leaky and / or poor spray pattern. Solution: Replace all 4, (£333 each), piping (£113), gaskets + washers (£35) and the all lovely labour at £260.
The above is their "discounted" price because of the aforementioned issue. There's also Darling's cut to be added onto all that.
Because of the 120 and it's leaky injectors issue that some have, I was happy when they said they would replace. Obviously, if I have to foot the bill I sing a different tune.
Would refurbing the injector(s) work out a shed load cheaper? I suspect so. They apparently use a company in Kent, anyone know them or know of a good one.
Why would they have opted to replace the injectors instead of refurbing? I'm guessing because it was not their money but rather the warranty.
Do I need the pipes?
Is there a way, without sending them to the specialist company to tell if they are leaky / poor spray pattern? i.e. how did they (the dealer) come to the conclusion so quickly?
Cheers,
Crispin
