BMW NA Direct injection injectors

[Exige77]

Both my daughters have petrol 120i coupes and are both are having engine light problems due to dirty injectors.

They are about £200 each a pop plus labour.

Is this a thing with the 2.0 BM engine ?

They do a lot of stop start city driving sadly.

Just tried some injector cleaner in the fuel.

Any other suggestions ?

Avoid supermarket fuel ?

Anyone that can clean them ? Seems most of the regular injector cleaning companies won’t touch the direct injection type.

Many thanks

Is it definitely dirty injectors?

I ask because some DI cars suffer with carbon fouling of valves causing misfires/poor running & the answer to that one is a walnut blast.

Having said that, if it is just dirty injectors google for your local Bosch Injector Specialist, you should be able to get them all cleaned & tested for the price of one.

Can you recommend a Bosch centre ?

Just tried my local one (Reigate motor company) and they don’t offer this service.

Lots do diesel injector repairs

Why not put on here where you are, someone may well know someone in your area but I would have thought a few min with google & a phone would have you sorted.

Try CarParts4Less for injectors. They sell gen BMW ones. Don’t forget each new injector needs a decoupling element and the code programming to the DME.

The injectors on the N43/53 are reknown for being utterly useless.
