Sorry but on a bad day the injectors can be seized solid in the head and does need an injector removal tool.
I've known them to be so bad the solution is a new/used head!
and the injectors are coded to the ECU,
which basically means that you can't just fit new injectors without top level scan tools to re-write the new coded injector to the computer.
so it all mounts up.
Ask the garage is "ALL" the injectors need replaced.
Might be it only needs one or two,
MIGHT!
might need all four.
Speak to your garage and explain your concern.

Hi would they cost about £180 each
And special mechanic £300-500 to take 1 off
They said that because if had water laying on top of the injectors and gone a bit rusty
Any other things it could be
