Typical failure window
Injector seals degrade over time, allowing fuel to leak into the cylinder head, causing carbon buildup and potential hydro-lock.
| Repair Tier | Dealer Price | Specialist Price | What It Involves | Longevity / Suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Seal Replacement Minor | £400- £600 | £250- £400 | Replace injector seals and clean head surface. | Temporary fix if injectors themselves are worn. |
Injector Replacement Minor | £800- £1,200 | £500- £800 | Replace faulty injectors with refurbished units. | Reliable solution if only 1-2 injectors are bad. |
Full Replacement- Rebuilt Engine Best Value | £2,500- £3,500 | £1,200- £1,800 | Supply and fit of rebuilt engine with new injectors. | Best value if multiple injectors fail or head is damaged. |
If your Cordoba has over 80k miles and hasn’t had the injectors serviced, budget for preventative seal replacement. If the engine has already suffered head damage, a rebuilt unit is often cheaper than a head repair plus new injectors.
