Then there's the question of the correct tool for removing the injectors and the one for putting the o-rings on. I found this tool which says it's for N63 and N54. https://www.amazon.com/Schley-Produc.../dp/B012US7606
Weird that there are no matches for N62 on Amazon that I could find.
BTW, my neighbor three down is from Saskatchewan  |
Yes, that's exactly the problem I had when I tried to get o-rings for my M54, even worse the shop that tested my injectors couldn't supply the right ones either. There are 2 (Bosch, Siemens) or more types of injectors that might be installed that use different o-rings. I "think" I had the Siemens injectors which btw can't be cleaned because they have ceramic seats, that had 2 different size o-rings but the shops info had them listed by P/N using the same size o-rings! I for sure didn't want to pay the $8 per o-ring and then maybe even not get the right ones so I ordered a kit off Amazon that had three o-rings, one for the bottom and 2 for the top of which one was silicon compound orange o-ring especially for cold weather. Mine were leaking only at about -35 to -40 but stopped after a few minutes when the engine warmed up a bit. No special tools really needed.
