| Stuck Injector |
This week I visited a large Vauxhall dealer in Bolton that had a Vivaro van – as I found it, with one injector not just stuck but broken off as well. Double trouble! A vain attempt to remove this had been made by the guys at the garage using the OEM tool used by Vauxhall, Nissan & Renault but this injector was not budging!

So I was set the challenge of pulling the injector out of the engine and with this particular Vauxhall having a joint engine fitted, also common in Renault and Nissan vehicles and renowned in the motor trade as the worst engine to remove injectors from – It is the fabled ‘M9R’ motor!

People in the know normally allow half a day or more to pull one injector, so you can imagine how impressed the staff were when I managed to pull this tricky injector out……..along with another 4 injectors that were stuck in various Vauxhall M9R engines in little over half a day! Reeesult!
It has to be said that the garage had serious doubts we could provide a tool (18580000 - CLICK HERE to see video) that would actually assist in this tricky problem, yet alone work on this type of engine - but ours did. I have to add that our vibro-impact air hammer tool (90206000) also assisted in this operation and the combination of tools used really did the business!
