Car broke down the other day - had to get her towed to a garage. They diagnosed it as a injector fault and set about repairing it.

It turned out that one injector and the injector wiring loom needed replacing. Ok fair enough, i imagine this happens from time to time until the bill arrives. How can they justify nearly £500 just for the injector! :zx11:

Does anyone know if this is a common fault. The car is 2 months out of warranty and I am concerned that the others might go. The garage suggested it might be a good idea to look into some kind of warranty.

Also when the old wiring loom came out, they said that bits of the plastic were broken. I had the injector seals done under warranty about 4 months ago, is it possible they were broken then and if so would I have any recourse (probably not - difficult to prove)

BTW it a 2.0 diesel 170

Just wanted to see if anyone has had the same?

they are expensive to repair,i grant you that,but no more than other margues.
i run a vw bora 1.9tdi, but compared to something like a citroen,i consider myself lucky!!!
can't comment on damage to wiring loom on the 2.0tdi,
but very very tight on the 1.9tdi.often chopped out, and heated with a hair dryer to soften before fitting new loom.(god only knows what that does to it's resistance/and/or performance.
not much help,but at least it shows someone is interested:biglaugh:
take care,and good luck,
