WANTED urgently: A8 3.0 TDi injectors 2006 model
 
Very gutted to be told after changing the turbo that the problem im having with smoke out of exhaust when idling is down to the bloody injectors. So I need all 6 to be replaced at £300 each!! I feel ill!

Tried prestige motor services but they dont have these at the moment. Anyone got six to sell me? Or any recommendations for where to source some cheap?

Major thanks in advance!

I am afraid injector faults are very common and well known so buying second hand is a big risk. I think you can use newer injectors that are not officially compatible according to Audi but work fine, are more reliable and cheaper(about £200 each IIRC). Sorry have not got any more details, it's just something I remember hearing about 3.0 TDI

Thanks ainarssems, have found injectors for £175+vat through "Diesel Bob" who is able to test my ones for £12 each so might try that route since I cannot afford to replace all 6.
