How many injectors have you had?

Simple question just to get an idea of how many injectors I can expect to replace

I've had one already

One of mine went last June/July time - been fine since (touches wood)

All of mine....

First failed April 2010 (69,000 miles)
Second failed September 2010 (76,000 miles)
Third failed April 2011 (90,000 miles)
Fourth showed errors and replaced April 2011

Sorry to hear chaps, on those responses I can at best expect one more to go at worst 3!!!

I'm looking at a vw warranty which hopefully will cover the injectors. I'm even considering a step down to a Kia Ceed for 12 months (things must be bad) not the best car but its reliable and a 7 year warranty

vw must do something about this

October 2007 / 57 plate. I've owned it since new and have a full VW service history!

It wouldn't be so bad if the engine ran on the remaining cylinders but the way it cuts out is very dangerous - all 3 of my breakdowns have started in the outside lane of a dual carraigeway / motorway

Ah, so that sort of puts paid to the hopes that the later cars aren't as badly affected - I suppose anyone with a 2.0 PD of any variety is at risk of injector failure at any time.

Its a dam shame

. I think apart from injectors/steering lock/ uneven rear tyre wear they are a great car

.

Knowing all the facts and the chances that mine will have an injector go down. I feel guilty even thinking of selling it on to my friend.

I wonder when the injectors get replaced if they are the same part or an improved part?
