Fuel injector OEM Honda or OEM Volkswagen
Reviews
About that 1.8 engine. It's great, but there is one potential issue at 100k+ miles, fuel injectors. If one goes, they all will fail as a result so if you have to change one, you will absolutely need to change them all. They worked perfectly for me.
Pros: worked perfectly
Cons: fuel injectors potential issue
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Mileage: 100000 km
I bought a set for a CRV. They arrived and I had a Honda certified tech check them out. He pronounced them the real deal. So far, running strong.
Pros: running strong, real deal
Vehicle:
Honda
When it comes to the injectors, I highly recommend you get OEM VW. I've had issues with the OEM/OES injectors. Enough, that I rather pay the 100 +/- difference and get them with the VW stamp of approval.
Pros: reliable, VW stamp of approval
Cons: issues with OEM/OES alternatives
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: 03H 906 036 AB, 03H 906 036 AA
I recently had a similar situation to yours with different codes. I stalled my 1996 GTI VR6 trying to back over a chunk of ice. When I started it back up it sounded like it was running on only a few cylinders. It would only start with my foot to the floor. The codes I had suggested a short in the fuel injector circuit.
Cons: running on few cylinders
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I had to replace mine on our 2018 Honda CRV at 134,000km (83,000miles) Emmissions System Problem light came on and ODB scan was for code p219E third cylinder. All cylinders failed AFM test at dealership and exhaust smelled noticeably rich .
Pros: using fuel injector cleaner
Cons: exhaust smelled rich
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 134000 km
I have a 2017 CRV with 87,000 miles on it. The check engine light came on and it came back with code for fuel injectors.
Pros: Honda goodwill assistance
Cons: decrease in MPG
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 140000 km
Ours has been trouble free until 100k miles when the injector issue happened. I’m hoping the replacement injectors are better than the original ones so I don’t have to do it again.
Cons: injector issue, hoping for better
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 100000 km
At some point VW had a problem with the injectors. They always replaced the faulty one. A short while later the same car was back in the tow truck. The next injector was replaced. A coworker had his car repaired three times for the same problem.
Cons: repeated failures, poor reliability
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Polo
Worst of all, the Honda 1.5T is notorious for clogging fuel injectors so you're almost guaranteed to have to replace them before 100K.
Cons: notorious for clogging
My 2015s CVT blew up shortly after I bought it used. And I also had to replace the fuel injectors on my dime.
Cons: CVT blew up
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
