- A180 CDI AVANTGARDE SE CVT,169.007, 2009
After having removed all 4 of my Injectors from my '55 plate C220 CDI Classic SE estate following a seal and injector bolt/holder failure (Black death situation), I am now almost ready to re install the injectors. However I have been advised that I need to re-seat all my injector holes before re installing the injectors. The attached photos show the current condition of my holes (all numbered for clarity). Can someone please advise whether these need anything more doing to them? I do not mind doing the re seating myself however funds are limited so a reasonable cheap re seating kit will be all I will get because unless I offer to help other Mercedes owners with this problem, I will not have any use for the kit after I have used it.
Oh and suffice to say, the cleanest injector shown was the one that was stuck solid in it's hole and had the worst carbon deposits around it.
UPDATE- @10:28, Just took more photos with my digital SLR. Not brilliant still but slightly better. Will borrow my girlfriend's Samsung phone next.
UPDATE - @11:02, What is it with Samsung cameras on phones?!! Why are they far superior than iPhones or even my Digital Canon EOS500D?!!! New set of photos attached.
