Can anyone tell us what are the symptoms for failing injectors ? I am willing to perform a preventive maintenance for the injectors on my 2013 - 3008 ? Is it possible to know or will it make any unusual noise or I have to disassemble and reach to visually check for any leakage ?? I don't have any check engine light !

Failing injectors can exhibit various symptoms, even if your check engine light hasn't come on. Here are some common signs to look out for: 1. **Engine Misfire or Rough Idle**: If the injectors are not delivering the correct amount of fuel, the engine might misfire or idle roughly. 2. **Poor Fuel Economy**: Faulty injectors can cause the engine to use more fuel than usual. 3. **Engine Performance Issues**: You might notice a lack of power, acceleration issues, or hesitation during acceleration. 4. **Fuel Odor**: Leaking injectors can cause a noticeable fuel smell around the vehicle. 5. **Smoke from the Exhaust**: If an injector is stuck open or leaking, it can cause white or gray smoke from the exhaust. 6. **Increased Emissions**: Faulty injectors can cause the engine to run rich (too much fuel) or lean (not enough fuel), leading to increased emissions. 7. **Engine Knocking or Pinging**: This can be caused by improper fuel delivery. 8. **Hard Starting**: Difficulty starting the engine can be a sign of injector problems. To perform preventive maintenance on your injectors, you can take the following steps: 1. **Use Fuel Additives**: Periodically using a fuel injector cleaner can help keep the injectors clean and functioning properly. 2. **Check Fuel Quality**: Make sure to use high-quality fuel to prevent clogging and buildup. 3. **Regular Maintenance**: Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule for your vehicle, which includes regular checks and services. 4. **Visual Inspection**: While it is more invasive, checking for external leaks or damage around the injectors can be helpful. This usually requires disassembly. 5. **Professional Diagnostic**: Consider having a professional mechanic perform a diagnostic check. They can use specialized equipment to test the injectors' performance and identify any issues. If you suspect an issue but don't have a check engine light, it's a good idea to have the injectors tested by a professional. They can use tools like an oscilloscope or fuel pressure gauge to measure injector performance without needing to disassemble anything initially. This can provide a clear indication of whether there's a problem with the injectors or another part of the fuel system.

Thank you Charlie. Very good video, I was able to repair my car thanks to you 🙏🏽

Yes bit compact. Thank you

Thank you, this is very helpful. Although the injector is easy to diagnose and is a bit fiddly to replace, I wouldn't be able to complete the job as I have no programmer to remap the new injector. Anyway, thank you again, this is amongst the best tutorials I've seen to change the injector on these models of Peugeot.

Good day! If you replace a fuel injector in a Peugeot 308, it is often necessary to reprogram or "code" the new injector to the vehicle's engine control unit (ECU). Modern vehicles, including the Peugeot 308, use precise electronic control systems to manage fuel delivery, and the ECU needs to know the specific characteristics of each injector to optimize performance. Here's a step-by-step guide to address your issue: 1. **Replace the Faulty Injector**: Make sure you replace the faulty injector with the correct part for your vehicle. 2. **Reprogram the Injector**: - You will need a diagnostic tool that is compatible with Peugeot vehicles, such as the Peugeot Planet System (PPS) or Diagbox. - Connect the diagnostic tool to the OBD-II port of your vehicle. - Follow the tool's instructions to program the new injector. This typically involves entering the injector's unique code into the ECU. 3. **Diagnose the Cylinder Issue**: - After reprogramming, use the diagnostic tool to run a cylinder balance test or similar diagnostic procedure to ensure that the new injector is functioning correctly. - Check for any stored fault codes that could indicate other issues with the cylinder, such as problems with the spark plug, ignition coil, or compression. 4. **Check the Radiator Fan**: - The radiator fan running at high speed can indicate that the engine is overheating or that there is an issue with the cooling system. - Ensure that the coolant level is correct and that there are no leaks in the system. - Use the diagnostic tool to check the temperature readings from the engine coolant temperature sensor. 5. **Clear Fault Codes**: Once all repairs and checks are complete, clear any fault codes from the ECU using the diagnostic tool. 6. **Test Drive**: Perform a test drive to ensure that the engine runs smoothly and that the radiator fan operates normally. If you are not comfortable performing these steps yourself, it is recommended to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic or a Peugeot service center. They will have the necessary tools and expertise to diagnose and fix the issue properly.
