Jeep Grand Cherokee CDi 2002 - Rear injector removal #

Posted by Alan Kane on August 23, 2011, 9:09 pm

Year of Manufacture *: approx 2002
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: Merc CDI

Hi,

I don’t have the papers for this car so not sure of the year but it’s the WJ shape with the Merc CDI engine.

Has anyone ever removed the rear injector? Its tucked nice and tight under the scuttle. It looks like the engine would have to drop down or maybe cut an access hole in the scuttle panel? Anyone have the experience?

TIA

Alan

Hi
The last only only one we did, we cut out a large section of scuttle pannel, then tacked/ welded back in afterwards, added a bit of seam sealer & underseal. As its under the other plastic covers you cant see it.
We of course had customers permission !!!!

We have done one, we dropped the engine. Ian,s idea sounds better. We tried to get the rear panel off but gave up. Once we decided to drop the engine enough for access it wasn't to bad.

Hi Alan I have just before launch today finished replacing all four injectors on one of the above I too cut a gap into the scuttle panel to hang a large slide hammer by the engine crane and all of the suggestion's from Wd40, cilit bang !, freeze sprays, Heat, over the past three or four weeks, eventually I give the vehicle to another garage.

I think they had purchased a sp 10ton puller and phoned within a couple of hours to say it was out. No removing the engine and wouldn't have had to cut the bulk head.

I'm now looking to buy this kit !! at nearly Â£1000 i wasn't sure it was up to the job when i have seen other kits for Â£2500 plus. If anbody else has a SP 10ton injector puller kit I would like to hear any comments good or bad

HTH

Thanks for the replies.

Number 5 is so far back under the scuttle I think the best way would be to cut an access hole. I am not convinced dropping the engine would give enough space for my puller. In this case the car needs injectors and pump but as it transpires the customer is financially challenged so I won’t get the pleasure of chopping it up.
