Need to have the injector seals done on the BT50, Its the older 2009 model, Gonna get a price from the local Mazda people but anyone out there working for on of the dealerships give me a rough Idea of what it should cost. We would normally get it done at a local guy but given all the dramas we had last time(s) its going to the dealership.
I guess cost will be similar in all brands maybe..............??
Is it just the copper crush washer things to replace? How often are you meant to do them?
Based on what I used to pay for my 2011 Hilux with common rail 3.0 turbo, cost could be the difference between normal service cost and $1100. In other words, when my truck needed injector seals replaced every X,000 Kms, it cost me around $1100 for the whole scheduled service. I now drive a petrol Suzuki.
Depends if they have leaked, there is also 8 seals for oil and the 4 copper washers
I know one is leaking, I have had a price of $350 but given the track record this particular place has with our vehicle it will be off the Mazda Dealership (yes I know we will get reamed) but at least it will be done right??Quote:

You would hope so, but my in laws had problem with the Toyota dealership being absolutely hopeless trying to fix their Toyota car.Quote:

And there you have it in a nutshell. After the last rigmarole we had I will just suck up the cost as being the "dealership" they have no excusesQuote:

And the kicker is my 1993 2.8 SWB Pajero hack continues to operate with very little "maintenance" despite being drowned twice in its life alreadyQuote:
