#1: fuel injector problems Author: pollypocket, Location: New Milton, HantsPosted: Mon Jan 02, 2012 5:49 pm ---- Hi - I have a 206 1.1 2002 and the engine is running on 2 or 3 cylinders. I have put it into the garage and they said one of the fuel injectors was showing up on the computer as faulty therefore I asked them to change the injector. I picked the car up and it drove fine for 1 mile then the same problem has come back! I returned the car to the garage and they have told me that a different injector has now failed - they think there may be dirt or water in the fuel tank.
This seems a little strange to me - has anyone else experienced a similar problem? Can anyone provide advice on what could be wrong?
Thanks in advance
Sue

The fuel filter should remove any dirt thats in the fuel. If there is any water in the fuel it'll be at the bottom of the tank as its more dense than petrol and the only way it could get out is if you've been driving around on fumes.

I recently had 2 injectors go at the same time so it is possible one can affect the other.

The first diagnostic check made by the AA said injector 3 was the trouble now it is saying injector 1
I will ask my husband to check the type of ciol pack tomorrow
If water has got into the injectors through running on fumes will they recover or will we need to replace them?
Thanks again
Sue

I had the same prolem, the code reader said number 3 was down, so from left to right I changed it.
But the missfire did not go away
Then I put the removed injector in numer three, counting right to left
Missfire gone............

This catches many people out as PSA Peugeot / Citroen like a laugh
Cylinder order - Number 4 is the TIMING BELT end of the engine.
