Installed a hydraulic 1.6 motor. The fuel injectors are leaking fuel so I found 4 1.5 injectors locally. Will they work fine on 1.6 motor?

They would work on a 1.8 and even a 16V motor.

The 1.6 hydro & 1.5 engines are probably Diesel engines & would not work in the 1.8 or 16v engines. However, the 1.5 injectors should work in the 1.6, the injection pump would be the main limiting factor.

Hmm, not owning a diesel myself, I wouldn't even think of that unless it was specifically mentioned.
