Technical Characteristics of the Diesel Injector
The presented injector is part of the Injector Nozzles category and is a component of the Diesel engine fuel system. It is responsible for precise fuel atomization in the combustion chamber, which directly impacts the performance parameters of the EcoBlue 2.0 unit – from ease of starting, through flexibility, to fuel consumption levels.
The injector has been designed by the vehicle manufacturer, ensuring it maintains correct flow characteristics, injection angle, and timing, and works seamlessly with the factory engine control unit. Using a component from the same product line helps maintain stable common rail system pressure and reduces the risk of diagnostic errors related to incorrect aftermarket part characteristics.
Purpose and Application in the EcoBlue 2.0 Engine
The fuel injector is designed for Ford EcoBlue 2.0 units used in the Transit Custom model. Its construction, adapted to the specifics of this engine, enables:
- correct diesel fuel dosing across the full range of loads and engine speeds,
- maintaining uniform cylinder operation, resulting in reduced vibrations and stable idle speed,
- limiting exhaust smoke through proper fuel atomization,
- preserving the original power and torque parameters of the diesel engine.
Selecting an injector compatible with the EcoBlue 2.0 unit is crucial for proper interaction with the control system, sensors, and other fuel system components.
Benefits of Using an Original Ford Injector Nozzle
Using an original injector from the Ford Injector Nozzles group helps mitigate common issues encountered with faulty or incorrectly selected fuel system components. The key benefits include:
- improved diesel engine performance – smooth combustion and reduced tendency for jerking during acceleration,
- stable cold start parameters – correct starting fuel doses,
- more predictable fuel consumption – no excessive overflow or uncontrolled doses,
- proper interaction with engine electronics – maintaining injection maps consistent with manufacturer specifications.
This product is particularly recommended when symptoms such as uneven idling, power loss, increased smoke, or difficulty starting the diesel engine occur.
Component Condition and Installation Aspects
The offered injector is a used part, providing a cost-effective solution compared to new components, while maintaining structural compatibility with the original Ford Transit Custom fuel system. Such parts are often chosen by professional workshops servicing commercial fleets, where repair economy and engine performance parameters are equally important.
Before installation, standard service procedures are recommended: checking the fuel system for contamination, verifying common rail pressure, and inspecting the operation of other injectors. A correctly performed replacement allows for restoring stable EcoBlue unit operation and reducing the risk of secondary faults.
Diagnostics and Service Knowledge
If your vehicle exhibits symptoms suggesting fuel system issues, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with practical tips for identifying malfunctions. A detailed discussion of symptoms, consequences, and testing methods can be found in the guide “Diesel Injector Faults – How to Recognize Them and What Neglecting Them Entails”, which serves as a valuable resource before deciding on component replacement.
