High-pressure Direct Injection Fuel System Repairs

INFORMATION

Failure to follow the repair procedures, including the use of the special tools and correct torque specifications during the removal, installation and/or replacement of the high-pressure fuel system components, can result in damage to the high-pressure fuel lines, high-pressure fuel injectors, high-pressure pump and the cylinder head.

The use of aftermarket slide hammers and pry bar-type tools is not allowed when removing and installing or replacing these components.

Using tools that abruptly shock the injector housing to remove the injector from the cylinder head can lead to failures of the cylinder head and/or the injector itself.

The use of power or pneumatic tools is not allowed when removing and installing or replacing these components.

Always refer to the proper ISTA/D repair instruction for the approved tools and procedures applicable to the vehicle in the work shop.
