Hello all and greetings from Portugal with my Leon that I imported from the UK. Over the past several years I've had no end of problems with failing injectors. To date I've had to change 6, all done at Seat dealers in UK, France, Spain and Portugal! Always replaced with original pars. Just returned from a trip to the UK and the car made it to Calais then went into limp home mode. Got no 3 injector replaced in the UK. On the way home, yesterday, same thing has happened again in Spain . Managed to limp across the border into Portugal then got relayed home. Has anyone got any idea why this keeps happening? Car has only done 75,000 miles and is regularly serviced.
Many thanks 🙏

That's a good idea in fact I've already ordered some. I'll use it regularly from now on and see if it makes any difference
