Common symptoms

Unstable idle or shaking at idle
Loss of power, poor acceleration or limp mode
Diesel knock or metallic rattling, especially cold or under load
White or black smoke
Hard starting; fuel smell or a rising oil level in advanced cases

Documented failure modes

Injector delivery drift showing as deviation values out of range
Injector electrical faults logging cylinder circuit codes
Leaking or stuck-open injector diluting the engine oil with diesel

Diagnostic guidance

Log injector correction values in diagnostic software — a large outlier identifies the weak unit
Check the engine oil for diesel dilution on suspected leaking injectors
EGR, DPF and fuel-pressure faults overlap with injector symptoms on the EA288 — confirm with leak-back and live rail-pressure data
Injector coding is required after fitting — follow the manufacturer procedure

Bosch 04L130277AC 2.0 TDI Common Rail Injector (VW Golf/Passat, Audi A3, Seat Leon, Skoda Octavia EA288)

AI Technical Summary

Bosch 04L130277AC (Bosch 0445110611/0445110612) CRI2.20 piezo common-rail injector for the VW Group 2.0 TDI EA288 (DFGC/DEUC/DBGC) across VW Golf VII/Passat B8/Tiguan, Audi A3/Q3, Seat Leon and Skoda Octavia/Superb. IMA/IQA correction coding required. Remanufactured, calibrated, 12-month warranty. Key symptoms: Rough idle / vibration; Hard starting; Loss of power / limp mode; Black smoke. Common failure modes: Internal wear / high back-leakage; Nozzle coking / poor spray pattern; Water-in-fuel corrosion.

Common Symptoms

Rough idle / vibrationhigh

A leaking or out-of-calibration injector unbalances cylinder fuelling, felt as a shake at idle.

Hard startinghigh

Excess back-leakage bleeds rail/line pressure during cranking, causing long or failed starts.

Loss of power / limp modehigh

Out-of-range delivery or pressure deviation triggers a torque cut and limp home.

Black smokemedium

Poor atomisation or a dribbling nozzle over-fuels the cylinder.

Engine management lightmedium

Cylinder-specific injector, balance or fuel-metering fault codes are logged.

Workshop & Fitting Notes

InstallationCode the injector IMA/IQA correction value to the correct cylinder with VCDS/ODIS on fitment before road test.
InstallationRenew the copper combustion washer and leak-off seals; torque the clamp/nut to manufacturer spec.
MisdiagnosisRead live back-leakage and per-cylinder contribution data to confirm the weak cylinder before removal.
TestingBench-test across delivery and back-leakage points and verify spray pattern before refit.
WarningConfirm fitment by OE number and engine code before ordering; injector sub-variants are not always interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is injector 04L130277AC?+

04L130277AC is a Bosch common rail piezo injector (cri2.20) diesel injector for the VW Group 2.0 TDI EA288 (DFGC/DEUC/DBGC). It is supplied remanufactured, bench-tested and calibrated to OEM specification.

Which vehicles use 04L130277AC?+

It is fitted to the VW Group 2.0 TDI EA288 (DFGC/DEUC/DBGC) — including Volkswagen Golf (Mk7) 2.0 TDI (EA288, DFGC/DEUC); Volkswagen Passat (B8) 2.0 TDI (EA288, DFGC/DEUC); Volkswagen Tiguan (AD1) 2.0 TDI (EA288, DFGC/DBGC); Audi A3 (8V) 2.0 TDI (EA288). Confirm fitment by OE number and engine code.

What type of injector is 04L130277AC?+

It is a Bosch Common Rail Piezo Injector (CRI2.20). Always confirm the OEM markings on the injector body before fitting.

Does 04L130277AC need coding when fitted?+

Yes — the injector IMA/IQA correction value must be written to the correct cylinder with VCDS/ODIS on fitment.

What are the symptoms of a failing 04L130277AC?+

Common signs are rough idle and vibration, hard starting, power loss or limp mode, black smoke and an engine-management light.

What causes these injectors to fail?+

Most failures come from poor fuel filtration, contamination and water in the fuel leading to wear, high back-leakage and nozzle coking. Fix the cause before fitting replacements.

Is a remanufactured 04L130277AC as good as new?+

A properly remanufactured injector is stripped, fitted with new wear parts, reassembled and recalibrated on a common-rail test bench to OEM tolerances, then supplied with a warranty.

Should I replace one injector or the full set?+

Replace the confirmed faulty injector first. On high-mileage engines fitting a matched set reduces the chance of a repeat fault, but it is not mandatory if the others test within spec.

Do you bench-test the injector before dispatch?+

Yes. Every unit is tested for delivery, back-leakage and spray pattern on a calibrated common-rail tester before it leaves us.

Is delivery and warranty included?+

Yes — the price includes free UK delivery and a 12-month warranty.

Does 04L130277AC need IMA/IQA coding?+

Yes — write the injector IMA/IQA correction value to the correct cylinder with VCDS/ODIS on fitment, or the EA288 2.0 TDI may run rough and log balance faults.

Is this the 1.6 TDI or 2.0 TDI EA288 injector?+

04L130277AC is the 2.0 TDI EA288 injector (DFGC/DEUC/DBGC). It is not interchangeable with the 1.6 TDI EA288 injector — confirm the OE suffix and engine code before ordering.
