Injectors failing

Hi,
I have a 51 plate 1.4 tdi. It has 3 injectors, one of which is miss firing up until the engine is warm and I turn off then restart the car.
Can I salvage this situation without having to take the injector out (cleaning fuels/redex etc????)
I am sick of having to replace the injectors.

P.s.
It's done 180,000 miles and I've replaced 3 injectors in the last 30,000 - none before that. Would this indicate there's a more serious failure causing the injectors to go?? Many thanks for your advice.
 
Personally I think 150k for what afterall is a precision piece of engineering isn't bad at all, may find that an untrasonic clean may help, other than that there have been problems on the 4 cylinder in the Mk4 golfs (similar to Spikes post)of the engine loom failing which gives the same symptons, I would assume that as you have changed some and that cured the problem that this doesn't happen to the 3 cylinder unit.
Could be worse I have heard that the common rail stuff only has a life of 150k before it needs replacing, this ain't a lot of miles for a diesel engine as we all know and taxi drivers know better.
cheers, Mike
 
I'm with Spike on that one - suspect the wiring loom rather than the actual injectors now seeing as you've replaced all the injectors very recently.
