Comon rail injector problems
Discussion
Hi.
I have a Peugeot 307 1.6 110HDI coming for me to change an injector later this week. I really don't want to get involved truth be told but he's a friend and somehow I seem to have been roped in despite telling him I don't want to touch the car. Any way, it's smoking quite heavily under boost, we checked the injector correction values and there is one with a very high reading compared to the other three, number 4 iirc.
Am I right in thinking that if say no4 is correcting a lot it will be doing so for another injector's problem.
Any help appreciated.

I have my doubts about the state of the turbo, there is longitudinal play! I'm quite happy working on most things, even whilst struggling to get up to speed but these engines just seem so fragile.
We used to have three of the old Experts 110hdi as vans, they were great but getting on. I asked a few customers what they thought of the new one,not a single one had anything good to say about the 1.6HDi engine. A French customer of mine over here has a 308 that he has had enough of, in 12 months it's had new turbo, injectors, DMF and clutch. for a French man o say he's finished with Peugeot it takes a lot!

Thanks a lot for the help and advice chaps. I can monitor the fuel trim on the scanner and saw that No4 was trimming back like mad, the rest didn't seem bad but after changing number 4 the car is still smoking heavily. I suspect number 3 but to be honest what Gerradi says sounds about right, therefore I don't want to get any more involved.
The owner is broke and so is his car, I know he has driven it for ages with blown injector seals and there is a lot of play in his turbo. I've told him to get shut but he can't afford to, can't afford to fix or flog, not a nice position to be in eh. He bought the car cheap and now he's realising why they are so cheap.
