What changes the price

Price is per injector. A new injector must be coded to the ECU (IMA/C2I). A specialist rebuild often costs half the price of a new one.

  • The hourly rate: it can double between a small-town independent and a city-centre dealer.

  • Parts quality: genuine, original-equipment brand or aftermarket.

  • Access: on some engines other parts must come off before the mechanic can reach the job.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a diesel injector cost?

At an independent garage, expect £245 to £650, parts and labour included. Main dealer: £310 – £975.

Why is the dealer more expensive?

Dealer hourly rates run 40 to 60% higher on average, and genuine parts cost more than their original-equipment equivalents. Under EU rules, servicing outside the dealer network does not void the manufacturer warranty.

What is book time?

It is the reference time set for a given job. Garages bill that time even if they work faster. If a quote shows far more hours than book time, ask why. Book time: 1 – 2.5 h.
