Carrying on from the earlier post regarding the removal of four seized injectors from an early 2.0 Vauxhall Vivaro
This one had previous attempts to remove the injectors resulting in a sheared cam housing fixing bolt
Unfortunately the previous attempt had left a sheared portion of the bolt in the lower cam housing
With a “dummy “ bolt head “ stuck in with silicon sealer
The integrity of the bolt is crucial as it is a fixing point of one the “ legs “ for our Pichler injector removal kit
Thinking outside the “box” we made a drill guide using a stainless bolt that threaded into the upper cam housing
This enabled us to drill dead centre of the sheared portion of the original bolt and extract it
Finished off with a long series tap to recover the original threads
Fixing point made good - Pichler support leg in place - moving forward with the job

Steady bank holiday Saturday morning mainly correctly diagnosing a vehicle sent to us by a vehicle owner who was “pi@ off” with garages

Previous repairer has based parts swapping based on fault codes
- is this the correct way ?

We always use the three C’s
Concern , Cause and Correction
Not just fitting parts by a fault code
The vehicle is now fixed all down to a single corroded wire within the engine loom - no parts fitted

It’s always good to get feedback from our local machine shop on a job we diagnosed recently
2.0 Eco Blue Transit that came into us for diagnosis regarding poor starting
We carried out a relative compression test via diag reporting all cylinders significantly down on compression due to valve seat erosion
