Installation Tips
- Depressurise and disconnect: Disconnect the battery negative terminal and depressurise the high-pressure fuel system by removing the fuel pump fuse and cranking the engine to stall. Remove the engine acoustic cover and thoroughly clean the cylinder head surface around each injector bore before loosening any fittings.
- Disconnect harness and fuel lines: Label and disconnect the electrical harness from Magnet Assembly F00VC30319. Execute the mandatory two-wrench counter-hold procedure: hold the injector inlet connector steady using an open-ended counter-hold wrench while loosening the high-pressure fuel rail delivery pipe nut with a 10 mm flare-nut wrench to prevent torsional strain on internal seals; catch and clean any residual diesel fuel.
- Extract seized injector and clean bore: Remove the hold-down clamp bolts. If the injector is carbon-bonded or seized in the cylinder head bore, use a dedicated slide-hammer injector puller kit rather than prying against the valve cover. Thoroughly ream and clean the cylinder head injector bore down to bare metal using a non-abrasive brass cleaning brush, discard the used seal, and inspect the lower seating shoulder for blow-by erosion.
- Install new injector with new seals: Fit a new genuine copper sealing washer on the injector lower seat from Seal Ring Kit F00VC99002 (never reuse old washers); apply a thin, uniform film of high-temperature non-metallic ceramic anti-seize paste exclusively along the injector body shaft, keeping the nozzle tip, nozzle cap nut, and seating washer entirely clean. Press the injector assembly into the bore and torque the hold-down clamp bolts crosswise in two stages: first pass 25-30 N·m, followed by final torque of 45-55 N·m per GM/Opel Z20S workshop manual specifications.
- Reconnect fittings and prime system: Reconnect the electrical harness and re-torque the high-pressure fuel line union nuts to 25-30 N·m using the two-wrench counter-hold technique. Manually prime and vent the low-pressure fuel circuit (key ON for 5 seconds, OFF for 10 seconds, repeated 3-5 times) to expel air pockets and avoid cavitation damage to Control Valve F00VC01346 and Nozzle 0433171980 (DLLA150P1606) before cranking.
- ECU IMA coding and road test: Using an authorized GM Tech2, Opel MDI2, or Bosch KTS diagnostic scan tool, navigate to Engine -> Injector Coding and enter the individual multi-digit IMA trim calibration code stamped on the magnet assembly cap into the ECU. Start the engine, check for leaks around rail unions, clear stored fault codes (such as P0201-P0204 or P0087), and execute a dynamic road test to verify smooth cylinder balance and rail pressure control.
- Post-install diagnostic verification: Following the road test, perform a balance-rate leak-back verification scan to ensure dynamic return flow remains within factory thresholds (idle <= 35 ml/min, full-load <= 50 ml/min) and verify no pending diagnostic trouble codes remain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will 0445110269 fit my Chevrolet Captiva 2.0 CDRi?
Yes - if your Captiva has engine code Z20S (2006-2011, 110kW) or RA420 (2009+, 110kW). OE reference on your existing injector should read 96440397 or 0986435153. Confirm engine code on V5/logbook before ordering. FWD and AWD variants both use the same injector.
What engine codes does the 0445110269 fit?
Primary engine: GM/Isuzu Z20S, Z20DM, Z20DMH, Z20S1, Z22 D1 (2.0-2.2L, 89-135 kW, Euro 4). Also found in Holden Captiva CG/CGII platforms (2007+) and Opel/Vauxhall Antara (2006-2011). Cross-reference with OE number 96440397 for absolute certainty.
Do I need ECU coding after installing the 0445110269?
Yes - most Z20S/Z20DMH engines require ECU coding (injector correction values) after replacing injectors. Without coding the engine may run rough, misfire, or show fault codes P0201-P0204. Use GM Tech2, Opel MDI2, or Bosch KTS diagnostic tool. Some late-model vehicles may also require a PATS/key relearn.
What is the difference between 0445110269 and 0445110270?
0445110270 is the BOSCH exchange number (refurbishment program) for the same injector assembly. The 0445110269 is the new-production unit number. Both share identical specs: nozzle 0433171980, valve F00VC01346, and are fully interchangeable. 0445110270 may come with a surcharge and requires returning the old unit.
What nozzle and control valve does the 0445110269 use?
0445110269 uses a BOSCH hole-type (DLLA) nozzle coded 0433171980 (DLLA0433171980) and solenoid control valve F00VC01346. The F00VC01346 is the hydraulic metering valve inside the injector body - it controls fuel rail pressure and injection timing. Do not substitute with DLLA nozzles or control valves from other injector families; the F00VC01346 is specific to the CRI2 / Z20S platform.
Can the 0445110269 be replaced with a nozzle assembly from a different injector?
No - the 0445110269 is a complete injector assembly and is not interchangeable with nozzle assemblies from other injector families. The DLLA0433171980 nozzle and F00VC01346 control valve inside this injector are specific to the GM/Isuzu Z20S/Z20DMH engine family. Installing a nozzle or control valve from a different injector family (e.g. Ford/Peugeot/Citroen HDI injectors) will cause engine running problems and may trigger fault codes.
How do I verify the part number on my vehicle?
The OE part number is stamped on the injector body itself (visible with the engine cover removed). Look for the white sticker or laser-etched code reading 96440397, 0986435153, or 0986435238. Alternatively, search by VIN on GM/Opel parts portals or your main dealer catalogue. Never order solely by engine model - the same engine family may use different injectors across model years.
What common fault codes indicate a failing 0445110269 injector?
Common fault codes on Z20S/Z20DMH engines: P0201-P0204 (injector circuit/open circuit), P0261-P0264 (injector low-side circuit high), P160A (ECU injection coding not programmed), P0087 (rail pressure below desired), P0217 (engine overheating). Rough idle, white/grey smoke, and power loss are typical physical symptoms. Perform injector leak-back test and compression test before condemning the injector.
What torque settings apply to the 0445110269?
Hold-down bolts (injector-to-head): 25-30 N·m first pass (crosswise), then 45-55 N·m final torque. High-pressure fuel line banjo bolts: 25-30 N·m. Lower copper sealing washer must be replaced every time the injector is removed - reuse of the washer causes fuel leaks. Always re-torque after first heat cycle.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes & Fault Protocols
Common diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) triggered when this common rail injector experiences wear, circuit faults, or calibration drift:
Fuel Rail / System Pressure Too Low
Excessive internal backleak from worn control valve seats drops common rail pressure below target under engine load.
Injector Circuit Malfunction / Open Circuit
Solenoid coil resistance drift (0.2-0.5 Ω) or piezo stack degradation triggers driver stage shutdown on affected cylinders.
Cylinder Misfire & Balancing Deviation
Carbon-clogged nozzle spray holes or missing IMA calibration causes uneven cylinder contribution. Recode ECM and verify washer seating.
Fuel Rail / System Pressure Too High
Spill line backpressure or stuck metering valve prevents rail depressurization, creating overpressure risks under load.
Cross-Reference & Compatibility
Sister parts, same-platform variants, and known incompatibilities.
