Hi guys I`m a new member so please bear with me!! I have a 2004 Megane Dci 100BHP & after purchasing it used I noticed a "check injection" fault showing anytime I drove over 50-60mph. This persisted for a while however didn`t show on normal around town driving, so rather foolishly I ignored it.
However eventually this came back to haunt me when a few weeks ago while driving home the engine completely stopped & "injection fault" showed on dash. After this despite several attempts the car refused to start.
I then had the car towed to a mechanic who after inspection advised me to replace the 4 injectors as 3 of them had blew. I sourced a set of 4 used but sound injectors which were fitted successfully.
I then drove the car out of the mechanics about 1 mile down the road & then BANG, "injection fault" & complete engine stop again. Cue another tow & another set of injectors but still the same outcome.
I`ve asked my mechanic if it`s a fuel injector pump fault also along with the injectors blowing as I had read before on another forum that this could happen: ie the pump blows & sends metal fillaments through the injectors which leads to them blowing again.
I`m at the end of my tether with it to be honest & I`m looking advice from anyone out there who`s experienced the same. Can it be an injector pump fault as well as the injectors? Is there something else that I or my mechanic should be looking out for?
Thanks in advance for any advice
