GDI Injector Coking
Most affected vehicles
Mitsubishi Carisma 1.8 GDI Equippe, Elegance, Mirage (1997-2004, 4G93 GDI)
Failure mileage range
50,000-80,000 miles
Typical failure window
Root cause
Direct injection technology causes carbon deposits to build up on injector tips and intake valves, restricting fuel flow and causing misfires, rough idle, and eventual injector failure.
Repair options & estimated costs (UK ranges)
| Repair tier | Dealer price | Specialist price | What it involves | Longevity / suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor - Injector Cleaning Service | £400 - £700 | £250 - £450 | Ultrasonic cleaning of injectors, intake decarbonising, ECU reset | Temporary fix; may buy 12-18 months if caught early |
| Intermediate - Injector Replacement | £900 - £1,500 | £600 - £950 | Replace failed GDI injectors with calibrated units, fuel system flush | Viable if engine block is healthy; requires specialist calibration |
| Full Replacement - Rebuilt GDI Engine | £2,200 - £3,800 | £950 - £2,200 | Supply & fit rebuilt 4G93 GDI with upgraded injectors, bench tested, 12-month warranty | Best value for high-mileage cars; addresses root cause permanently |
Our recommendation
On a Carisma worth £1,500-£3,000, injector cleaning may extend life if symptoms are mild. However, if misfires persist or the engine has over 80k miles, a rebuilt GDI engine with upgraded injectors offers better long-term value and peace of mind.
