REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF INJECTORS

Because there is overpressure in
the fuel tank, fuel may penetrate the
cylinders when the injectors are
removed. Therefore, when removing
injectors, always take off the
fuel-tank cap first. Collect any fuel
leaving the injectors.

Note:
If the engine has been fitted with a DEB, the
latter must be removed before the injectors can
be removed.
While the DEB is being installed, both the DEB
clearance and the valve clearance must be
adjusted.

Removing the injectors
1.

Remove the injection lines.

2.

Remove the valve covers.

3.

Remove the DEB, if fitted.

4.

Remove the attachment bolt (3) of the
injector clamp.

5.

To remove the injector and the clamp, only
use the special tools (DAF no. 1329412 and
DAF no. 0694928).

Note:
If during removal one or more copper shims (1)
remain in the injector sleeve, the injector will be
reinstalled in a higher position.
-

As a result, instead of spraying into the
combustion chamber of the piston, the fuel
will be sprayed onto the piston ring. This
may seriously damage the piston.

-

There will be inadequate sealing between
the O-ring (2) of the injector and the cylinder
head. Fuel leaking from the injector can
freely flow into the engine and dilute the
lubricating oil.

Installing the injectors
1.

2.

Fit a new O-ring (1) and a new copper
shim (2) on the injector. Apply a little
acid-free grease to both rings.

3.

Check the valve-sleeve sealing ring (3) of
the injector. Replace it if leaking and/or
damaged.

4.

Note:
Make sure that the injector clamp (4) is
installed correctly.

Install the injector together with the injector
clamp (4) and tighten the attachment bolt to
the specified tightening torque, see main
group “Technical data”.

5.

Fit the injection lines.

6.

Check the injector seals for leaks, see
“Checking and adjustment”.

7.

Install the DEB, if present.

8.

Fit the valve covers.
