Hey all! My engine seems to be cuffing/ticking, I saw a video on here of the same problem on a diesel (excuse my terrible spelling, dislexciya) that leads to fuel injectors. So wondering how hard this is to replace and how costly it'll be. Taking it into my garage on my lunch break.

But yours is a petrol, so that is something different.

Is not time consuming to change petrol fuel injectors, so the labour cost would not be very high. But it would be best to diagnose the actual cause of the noise before changing any parts.


The C3 Diesel chuffing noise :)
