When my 320d was battling with two injectors, I tried Wynns diesel fuel system cleanser and Millers Ecomax.

Personally, I believe they were too damaged to discern the difference, so I replaced them.

In retrospect, I should have done all four since one of the originals is on its way now.

Replace your copper washers as well.
Thanks, I think one or two of mine are going, but the other two seem fine for now. Considering how much it costs, I might do two now and two later. Where do the washers come from?

I am competent enough to attempt to remove the injectors, but I am incapable of replacing the HPFP. Hopefully, only the injectors require maintenance. However, thank you for the advice. I looked for a sowcisl instrument for ten minutes before concluding that you may have misspelt special haha'
Haha, I hate my big fingers, my phone, and predictive text. True, it is a unique instrument
