2.7 CRD injector cost
I recently had all my injectors tested by a local company for $25 per injector. I've since discovered that I could have purchased a leak back kit off eBay for $40 to do the test and saved myself some cash. Anyway...
All 5 injectors are worn out with excessive leak back although the spray pattern is ok. I decided I wasn't putting these worn out injectors back in after the hassle of lowering the engine/tranny and removing the plethora of black death from the top of the engine. The search began for a set of 5 new or refurbished injectors.
The cheapest new injectors were $2,208.
Refurbished Bailey's Blueprint injectors were $1,745 plus a $1,375 core charge with only 2 weeks allowed to return your old injectors so you can get the core charge refunded. All this is plus freight. The website would only allow me to select the injectors in multiples of 4 which isn't very helpful when my engine requires 5.
Specialist Diesel Injection Services UK refurbished injectors were $1,124.29 including freight with a 30 day window for returning old injectors. Will receive $223 back once they receive old injectors.
Huge difference in prices. Unfortunately I had to go with the UK business.
With most of the new Jeeps sold in Australia being CRD I can forsee the refurbishment service being a necessity but for some crazy reason Australia isn't competitive?
