After you have decided you have an injector issue, most the times it’s possible to have the seized injector removed from its place only by using professional hydraulic equipment (designed specifically to remove a stuck injector).

Warning! Do not hit or apply brute force to remove the injector out from its place. This will make the injector snap, leaving bits stuck in the cylinder head and the vehicle to become immobilized.

The good news is that we can still help should this be your case however, the chances of success are lower on some vehicles (however we can 100% guarantee removal on many). Please note– because the comprehensive hydraulic equipment may cost up to £20,000 to cover most of the vehicles, most of the garages and even the main dealers will NOT have invested in these tools. This means that:

Modern-day injectors, regardless of shape or size, may get easily stuck and hard to remove in order to be serviced or replaced. This is a common problem for all vehicle makes and is caused by different factors including carbon build-up, corrosion and electrolytic reaction between metals. When the injector is not serviced regularly, or when the engine is running a large number of miles each day, the vehicle is very likely to have a stuck injector problem.

Although the injector is a common problem on most of the engines, some of the most frequent cars that have this problem are:
