What is causing my BMW fuel injector problem?

My BMW's injectors inject fuel all the time. What can be the problem?

Hi Hennie,

I'd be interested to know how you found out that this is happening! Anyway, it's likely that the injector has clogged up with unburned fuel. If this is a petrol car then the best route is to simply replace the injector. A diesel injector costs a lot more though so it may be possible to go down the reconditioned route.

Hope that helps.
