Ford Focus MK1 Facelift, year 2003, 90 horsepower, 1.8 TDDI (the one with the rotary injection pump).
I had the fuel injectors checked and I'm now reinstalling them.
I need the torque specifications for the injector hold-down clamps.
Are the sealing rings (copper washers) annealed? I asked at our workshop, and one mechanic said yes, while another said no.
Regards,
Michael.

You take out the old ones and simply install the new ones. icon_wink.gif

I also bought some new ones and installed them.
I couldn't find the correct torque specification for the retaining bolts, so I tightened them to 50 Nm.
The initial test run was also successful; the engine starts and runs smoothly.

Now I just need to figure out why the rear brake is always sticking on one side.

You can check the airtightness with dish soap; if it doesn't bubble, it's airtight.

Thank you for the tip, I will try it out.

I also found a problem with the brakes. The new replacement part (brake caliper) is defective.

50 Nm is definitely not too low.
For the 1.9 TDI, etc., they get 20 NM. icon_wink.gif
