Hello Everyone

I am a proud owner of a C270 cdi 03 plate on 110,000 miles and rising and new to MB. I have just had 1 injector replaced at a huge cost! does this mean the others are on the way out!! Does anyone know what the average life expectancy of diesel injectors are?:(

The injectors in these CDI engines do seem to be a weakspot and I have experienced this personaly, thankfully in warranty. With luck you will have got the 1 weak one and that could be it for a while.

Many people swear by using quality brand diesels and avoid supermarket fuel like the plague as there is always the suspicion that a poorer additive content punishes fuel pumps and injectors. I think Shell and Esso give you 'super' diesel for no extra cost while BP charge extravagantly for Ultimate diesel, I am sure their regular diesel is better than supermarket stuff anyway.
